Can live with jacket potatoes Sue lol

This could be a whole new topic - whats your favourite topping for a jacket potato - just for the record mine is cottage cheese, coleslaw and shredded beetroot. (have my fingers in my ears to block out all the YUKS!)

Thought jacket potatoes might be nice!

Plans a trip to Sue's tomorrow and wonders.........bubble and squeak with the cold meats .......or will it be chips?

And hands off the cheesecake till I get there lol !

LOL Lynda

I've got a little bit of chicken and some gravy left! About half of the Strawberry cheesecake is still there too!

I roasted a piece of pork yesterday so planning on doing cold meats tomorrow.

Sue

Just checked the menus over and you have all made my mouth water!
I think I'll join Sue in Somerset :-) Hope there's some leftovers Sue ;-)
I have just got in from work so it's a shepherd's pie in the oven - courtesy of M&S for me and son - organic carrots and buttered cabbage are fresh though.

Sounds lovely Peter.....

We used to make a big splash when the children were all at home.

We would have a turkey and all the trimmings.... and usually found an extra couple (or more) friends of the children's at the table.

I loved it when my kids were younger.

No we just have a nice dinner.

Yesterday my son and his girlfriend, who is from China, cooked us - yes you've guessed it - a Chinese Banquet.

They worked really hard and produced a total of six different dishes.

Today it is Roast Chicken - not my favourite - but there are those little cocktail sausages wrapped in Bacon to fall back on.

Tomorrow we will have elder son, partner and year old grandson with us as well and it is good old Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding.

still waiting for mine other half is cooking so at least i can pop on here

takes me hours to clean the kitchen though lol

We've had roast chicken with roasted spuds, parsnips, swede, butternut squash, carrots and peas plus yorkshire puds and gravy. Followed by strawberry cheesecake and/or chocolate icecream and cream.

All very tasty.

Sue

I thought Ham was the traditional Easter dish?

Roast turkey, spuds, broccoli, buttercup squash, and stuffing. Gravy from the drippings.yum.
As much as I'd like to have lamb, the cost of it here is prohibitive, and having 7 to feed, a lamb roast is out of the question.
First order of business on my next trip home.

Lamb and all the trimmings on Easter Sunday... we share the cooking.... and on Easter Monday we have bubble and squeak with the left overs... love it!! There should be enough lamb to make a curry, as well, for Tuesday.

Love

Daff xxx

Karen

One extra home for weekend - baked large ham yesterday - had ham, eggs and chips - the rest of which there is a lot will slowly disappear over the next few days. Today in the oven roasting as we speak is a large piece of British Beef on the bone. Leftovers probably eaten with homemade chutney and pickles!

Thanks,Irishgirl, good idea ,

Going to ring round see if we can get in
anywhere.

Roast beef today....................with home grown brocolli and parsnips, swede and carrots.

And Aunt Bessie yorkshires.

Toffee Pavlova for pudding.

No point in having turkey here as children dont like it prefer chicken so we are having

Roast lamb or Chicken
Roast spuds, stuffing
Carrots, swede, broccolli,
yorkie puds and gravy

Pud is a peach bakewell tart children will probably have ice cream or yoghurt
