A good lunch of roast veg, a whole bag of potatoes, kale and spinach (with decent gravy) fed not just us but also my sister in law and three more kids! Sad times arrived though in the form of a crackling disaster, I just couldn't repeat the heights of a couple of weeks ago. The consistency of crackling is something of a mystery and definitely a topic for future discussion.
FULL DISCLOSURE TIME! My sister-in-law also brought one of the worlds greatest crumbles and two bottles of wine. Could I have said no? Sure but the kids would have cried, my sister-inlaw would have been angry with me and the whole day would have been rubbish. I therefore enjoyed the crumble with custard and a glass of wine. Yes, damn it I did!
DOUBLE FULL DISCLOSURE TIME! After my sister-in-law left, my brother arrived and said that he had just confirmed a massive promotion and could we got out to dinner to celebrate? Again, could I have said no? Yes but my brother would have cried etc etc.
So to re-cap, we avoided dinner (which would have been left overs anyway) and also enjoyed our first glass of wine in two weeks as donated by my enormously kind sister-in-law. However, just to reassure you we still did loads of cooking!
Cottage pie
and tomato soup
These should sort us out for the next few days.
