    I have some asparagus so will see what's available to have a nice supper with that.  I'm thinking lamb leg steaks or salmon & hollandaise....  They're the nice thin asparagus so will need to be boiled.  If they were the big chunky ones i'd do them on the bbq....if you've not tried that they just want some olive oil on before going on the bbq, about a minute a side, then pop on a warm plate and grate some good parmesan on them.  Maybe a little black pepper ground on too.  Nom!

    I'm doing roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, will plate up extras for the inlaws for tomorrow. Will do cauliflower cheese with it, got a cauliflower yesterday, looked in three shops, every cauliflower was yellow in colour and scraggly. Perhaps the time of year.

    I will do my usual cook a thon today, whilst the oven is on. I have sausage rolls, an irish soda bread, parkin and quiche on the list today.

    We ended up taking Frank for a long walk along the front from Cowes to Gurnard, and then popped in to get Frank a bowl of water at a local pub, which happened to be serving Sunday roasts …..   long story short - the chicken mushrooms and asparagus are now featuring as today’s special ☺️

    @Islandmaid the parkin turned out really well.
    My dad got a food pack of parkin, sausage rolls, quiche, sliced beef and soda bread. 

    Made too much cheese sauce yesterday for the cauliflower, so the leftover broccoli and excess cheese sauce went to make a macaroni cheese. I had that for dinner tonight with salad.
    Others had salad, coleslaw, yesterday's leftover baby potatoes, made into wedges and some spicy breaded chicken.
