Sunday roast

I always cook a roast on Sunday..but is a roast still a favorite?..my preference is Beef and Lamb but it is expensive..Chicken or Pork is nice.. has the roast gone out of fashion?

Nope last Sunday i did a slow roast leg of lamb well it was half leg cost £5
with roasted potatoes peppers and asparagus it was really nice.
There was plenty of meat on the lamb i got 6 good potions out of it even the cat enjoyed munching on the bone .

Unless you've bought some really mature plants, you'll have to wait 3-4 years before you can harvest it.

It's not out of fashion in this house, I love my roast dinners, we do argue about favourites though, I prefer Lamb, or Beef, everyone else prefers chicken!!

Any chance of an invitation?

I've just cooked some pork, to have with mashed potatoes and spinach. I also caramelised some apple rings to serve with it. I won't be eating it today, but it'll save me cooking when I come in from work tomorrow.

I've also made a banana cake, but it's still in the oven, so I'm not counting on it until it's done.
