Trouble is when there is only 2 of us we get quite piggy but I LOVE a roast joint - beef is my favourite. I love a nice rich gravy too - I boil onions and leeks until tender then pour the entire contents into the food processor with 4 beef oxos - or more depending on quantity - whisk up and the beautiful thick onion gravy is to die for - healthy too!mrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-26832951938380702642015-01-12T10:43:57.390-08:002015-01-12T10:43:57.390-08:00My father went to 8 0'clock communion and then...My father went to 8 0'clock communion and then came home and cooked the Sunday roast while the rest of the family went and sang in the choir at 11. Alas, that tradition has gone by the wayside .....<br /><br />I agree that something to look forward to makes life much more exciting, - I am going to a shower for my new great-grandson on Tuesday evening, - an hour or two amongst all those young mothers should be invigorating!

I have been using cast iron cookware for years, but my wrists aren't strong enough to lift them safely any more. I have a long, thin frame and really thin wrists. The new pots are red on the outside, non-stick inside. The color really perks up our tiny kitchen.<br />Happy Week. Expecting an ice storm here after midnight. Oh. Goody.<br />:) m & jbMaureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-57729197817722105292015-01-11T10:09:49.301-08:002015-01-11T10:09:49.301-08:00We don't do the traditional Sunday dinner anym...We don't do the traditional Sunday dinner anymore - but it was standard when I was growing up. Just the two of us now on most Sundays and so we usually eat lightly as it is the weekend and I don't want to spend all the time in the kitchen.<br /><br />In the summer we are more likely to have a family gathering with our daughters and their families on Sunday - usually a barbecue on the deck if the weather is nice.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-78280151570714013162015-01-11T09:52:16.082-08:002015-01-11T09:52:16.082-08:00Well Weaver we eat out waaaay too much... and that...Well Weaver we eat out waaaay too much... and that is usually where we get our best food. LOL! I do not like to cook..never have. I cooked out of necessity when the children were little but since they are grown and gone i cook because i must because who can afford to eat out every meal? :) One trick i do to avoid cooking often is that when i do cook i cook alot so i have leftovers to freeze.. Like i will marinate and bake a dozen chicken breasts and after we eat our meal i will take the rest and freeze individually . That way a meal is easy to put on the table. Thaw the chicken in the microwave and microwave a baked potato and put a veggie with it and there you have a fairly healthy meal with little effort..<br /><br />I will also take a few fish fillets ....usually Talapia and marinate them then make a little foil packet for the fish and add some onion and some rice and a veggie, close it up and throw it in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes and theres supper...

I tend not to cook roasts, though like you we have them out sometimes.<br />Many years ago we had lovely holidays at Thorpness, and would walk along to Aldeburgh for fresh fish and other local goodies.

We always had a Sunday roast when I was a child, Monday was leftover cold meat and bubble and squeak. Had a lovely meal of beef and Yorkshires at my inlaws yesterday, so today I've made a big pot of spag bol, and we'll have half the sauce for dinner after work tomorrow, bliss no cooking or washing up then :)<br />TwiggyTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-20722327865329928142015-01-11T08:25:50.507-08:002015-01-11T08:25:50.507-08:00I do trad' roasts quite often, but always for ...I do trad' roasts quite often, but always for dinner; never lunch.<br /><br />I remember Catterick Camp for hard slog, boot polish, and nasty sergeant majors; not for good food.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-17071336084794690092015-01-11T08:06:38.047-08:002015-01-11T08:06:38.047-08:00I love looking forward to the things I've plan...I love looking forward to the things I've planned to do.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-61210764487253945772015-01-11T07:37:00.271-08:002015-01-11T07:37:00.271-08:00I cook a Sunday roast for my mother if I'm not...I cook a Sunday roast for my mother if I'm not working - leg of lamb today - and very tasty it was too even if I say so myself!John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-83165533781920312422015-01-11T07:03:32.928-08:002015-01-11T07:03:32.928-08:00The Brudenell is a nice place to stay in Aldeburgh...The Brudenell is a nice place to stay in Aldeburgh.
