How does it stick together?

sorry - I am being exceptionally dense today....:D

thats what the batter does

I usually put a drop of oil into the frypan and then a large dessertspoon of mix in the pan. It sizzles, then flattens out a bit, flip them over do the other side et voila. you dont need to serve them straight away wither you can stick them on an oventray or plate etc and keep em warm.

Hi there

Now just the two of us, don't worry about the Sunday roast unless family here!

We have been known to have roast through the week (done in SC) and sometimes have had sausage, beans and mash on a Sunday! It just depends on what we are doing, where we are and who is coming for a meal!

We have one every sunday. My mom always did that and DHs mom always did as well so we're just used to it. When we were living back at my mom and dads we would have sunday dinner there and then go to his moms and DH would have another full dinner.

We never have the same meat two weeks running. My favourite is roast pork because hot pork sandwiches with the left overs are one of my favourite things ever.

Though if the weather is really hot we cook the meat on the rotisserie instead and have it with new potatoes and salad.

We always had roast on Sundays when I was a child and I continued the tradition until the chicks started to move out....we still have one sometimes but OH tends to do a monster fry-up mid-morning on Sundays so 'dinner' is very often something like hm pizza, or soup in winter and something like salad with salami and/or cheese. Desserts we rarely have, as I am the only one of the nine of us who will eat them and I do not need them, believe me

We always have a roast dinner on Sunday although for us its supper, we eat in the evenings.

I roast pork chops with tatties, veg and gravy made with stock, red wine, tomato puree and garlic thicken if needed with cornflour.

Roast chicken with all the trimmings.

Shoulder of lamb, marinaded in red wine (which is then used for gravy), spuds and veg

Roast beed and yorkies etc.

Just occasionally we might have a beef daube or pork casserole, but very rarely.

Oh I wish I did :sad: - but im with the "its not worth it for one" brigade although I do confess to smiling particularly nicely to anyone I know who is planning one or jumping at the chance to go to the Toby Carvery or the likes:j

My mum bless her was not the best cook in the world but she did and still does a fab roast with rib of beef :T and my dad makes a big fuss of sharpening the knife to carve and then makes sure I always get the end piece cos I always loved it (have moved on to prefer a rarer piece now but I wouldnt have the heart to tell him:o )

What spoils the memory of sunday roasts for me was that we had them about 5 ish and my dad would insist on us having "Sing Something Simple" on radio 2 on - and anyone who remembers that will remember the pain:rotfl: After that though my brother and I would whinge and whinge until he let us put the Top 20 on:rotfl:

So if anyone has a spare chair at the table tomorrow I would love to come :j
and I dont insist on the Top 40 either;)

We don't have a roast every sunday, maybe once or twice a month.
Tomorrow i am cooking chicken casserole/stew, dumplings, potatoes and veg.
Cake and custard or ice cream for after, or some scrummy brioche loaf mmmmmmm

Not always on a Sunday as DP is away regularly on a Sunday but do roasts most weeks. Downside he won't have pork or lamb usually so tends to be chicken or beef, sometimes toad in hole instead (which he's still fussy about cuts etc but did manage to win him over with brisket done in SC). If I had a dishwasher (rather than me doing it) I'd do roasts more often, it's the huge washing up pile after a dinner that puts me off especially if I use serving dishes. Roast dinners in a way are a time saver for me as it's one thing I can cook where everyone will have a meal out of what's made.
