    Inspired by this thread I went to the butcher's yesterday and bought a joint of pork :D

    Roast pork
    New potatoes (don't do roast at this time of the year)
    Asparagus
    Carrots and peas
    Gravy
    Hm quince jelly edit: just remembered there's some stewed quince in the freezer (from my tree) so think I'll do a quince sauce -like apple sauce

    pudding -not sure yet:think: -already had loads of strawberries this weekend, maybe I'll make a rice pud for the kids with hm jam...

    Veg and pork all locally produced ;)

    I was watching a cooking programme the other day and it stated using eating/sweet apples rather than cooking apples for apple sauce. Im going to try this today:confused: ...wish me luck!

    Sounds lovely, PP!

    But you are SERIOUSLY in my bad books for starting this thread. It is my first week on a new weight-loss plan and I had just talked myself into thinking that there is no REASON that I NEED to have a roast just because it's Sunday...... and then all these people come on here and persuade me that I SHOULD... ;)

    Well, it is Father's Day, it would be rude not to go to mum's for lunch just this once..... :)

    I didn't know you could have anything else on Sunday.

    We ALWAYS have roast on a Sunday.

    We have lamb about 4 times a year, chicken 3 times & beef the other 45:rotfl:

    If its very hot, we have roast beef served with a tossed salad & potatoes.

    Otherwise, its yorkies, roast potatos, batoned carrots, brocolli, & then a variety of roast parsnips or swede.

    Beef served with creamed horseradish, lamb with mint, chicken with stuffing &/or cranberry.

    DH & DD are damn fussy about meat & will only eat the leanest beef (Sainsburys taste the difference), DD moans about leg of lamb being too fatty:eek: I love it, but hardly ever have it:mad: .

    i'll be your daughter i love leg of lamb. i'm drooling thinking about it!

    Hi PennyP

    I always use sweet apples (unless I am given cookers) for apple sauce and stewed apple for cumble.

    Hope you are not in too much pain today - am going to pop over to the Daily Thread now!

    Love
