It was my Mum's 76th birthday yesterday and she came for dinner.
We had roast rib of beef (on the bone - utterly gorgeous), yorkshires, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, cauli and broccoli.
I made proper gravy with red wine and I think it was quite possibly my best gravy yet (I roasted some shallots with the meat and they really gave the gravy an extra something)
Trifle (provided by mum) for pudding.
Tonight will be jacket spud with something healthy

Sounds TOTALLY DELISH, Boatie!!! 
I'm going to put some skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker soon with a bit of stock and some garlic/ginger/star anise/soy etc. Got no spring onions OR carrots or they would have gone in too, so will prob stick in some red onion and mushrooms too (which the small girl will pick straight out again
). Rice, french beans and broccoli to go with it.

Great article, I agree with her. I've probably tried as many recipes as her and came to similar conclusions. She might also have tried Delia's so called 'perfect macaroni cheese' which is more like a soufflé and is the least comforting version I've ever tried. After decades of cooking it I either use the simple method she ends up with, or I add spinach and mushrooms to the sauce.
I think I need to own that book though. And have a proper read of the macaroni cheese competition. Should be in the Olympics, that.

Need something healthy as I took the weekend off cooking, which meant we had Indian delivered on Friday, pizza delivered on Saturday and Chinese delivered on Sunday.

Well, guests made stonking Swedish meatballs and gravy, and mashed spuds, with some kind of weird salad made with apple and grated carrot. Then we launched into a big box of Thorntons choccies that a tenant gave me
Tonight, we shall dine on pesto pasta, black olives, and parmesan, and then more choccies

I WAS going to do some stuffed marrow rounds, with a rogue marrow sized courgette I discovered in the garden ....filled with various combinations of onion/garlic/tomatoes/feta/rice and chicken (cos that's what I have to use up ) but my son's off sick today so I think I'll do that for lunch and we'll have pizza and salad later instead.....
Raspberries and blackberries with meringues and low fat cream for pudding.
