It's our anniversary today and, as it's a school day (literally ), I said I would cook something for when she got home. I asked her what she wanted and she said she really, really fancied a lamb roast dinner. Ok, no probs, and for pudding? Hot chocolate fudge cake with double cream. Easy.
Went to Asda this morning to get the bits, thought I'd start with the lamb. They had no half legs, just two full ones. Now, you can call me tight, and I know it's our anniversary and all, but I am not paying £28.50 for a leg of lamb. They can wedge it.
So she got lamb chops instead, £8 for 8.
Cue all the jibes about me being a big, romantic softie......not
Last week overnight visitors. Best man from my wedding & his Mrs not seen for 14 years.
Half filet of welsh beef. Pan seared a few mins, 20 mins roasted, 20 mins rested. Pan roasted new tatties, green beans, home made garlic sauce. Way less than £28 for the lot and delicious, for four. The wine was more expensive.
Tight or what?
