Grey here chez Casa Reynard, and with a cool and brisk breeze.
I slept well. Spent the morning puttering about in the garden. Didn't miss the mail delivery this time (I was out on my dog walk with a friend yesterday), so I now have all the Bay of E lots I bought the other day, and the parental unit has her postal ballot papers for the upcoming European Parliament elections. Every Belgian citizen is required to vote, even the King.
The beef joint I took out of the freezer yesterday is almost defrosted. It is not terribly big (just shy of 700g) as it is actually half of a much bigger joint that I divided. When only feeding two people, I find that's a sensible way to go about things, but the downside is that you need to be much more careful that you don't overcook the meat. This should do us for a couple of main meals, a portion or two for Madam Lexi, plus several luncheon's worth of cold cuts. I *do* so love a roast beef sandwich...
The beef joint is a total about face from the absolutely banging vegan Thai curry that we've just had, but I like switching things around on the culinary front. A satisfying and tasty plate of food is a pleasure, regardless of what's on that plate.
Speaking of plates, it's almost time for luncheon!
