Survived having the in-laws round for lunch... well almost.

This morning I felt rough as rats and nearly postponed, but after a miracle satsuma felt a tad brighter and oloughed on with the roast leg of lamb from a local farm. Spuds, sprouts, roasted parsnips and carrots and sauteed leeks.

All was going well until Wimpers decided to lift and carry a 12.5kg box of fat balls (prezzie for her dad) and strained her back! The old trouper carried on however.
Dinner was a sucess - my first ever solo roast. The local lamb was beautifully tender and my speciality - real gravy, was flavoursome as ever. Mrs Wimpers even complimented me on my roasties ... praise indeed!
Mr Wimpers was in good form and they generally behaved themselves.

All in all apart from a rather crook wimps it has been a good day.

Edit: one of our Italian Moscato glasses has just broken :-(

I always thought fat balls was wimps pet name for you, you live and learn.

I've shoveled my walks and driveways before a hazlenut cappuccino break, weather appears to be clearing.

Thats good then. I've got braising steak roasties and mixed veg cooking. We've got our eldest staying over Xmas so I'm cooking for three instead of two.

And a Happy Christmas to you, one and all.

A trifle 'raw' yet though

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Had a rather nice ride today. Mild with a breeze.

Same here.

Thats what I had tonight, with a rich roquefort sauce and hand made skinny skin on chips.

Yes, yes they do....


Have a good day everyone, I'll be in bed between night shifts.
