I've yet to tackle a full roast on a Sunday .

It's not difficult, Mick, but like everything else, it's getting everything to be ready at the same time. I've served up roast dinners with lovely, succulent meat and white soggy spuds and almost raw veg. Or beautifully crisp roasties with a burnt offering purporting to be a leg of lamb. 

Practice makes (almost) perfect, and as your wife is your only customer, I'm sure she wouldn't laugh too much. Doing the cooking here, esp on Christmas Day, made me realise what my poor mother went through with a pokey little kitchen, seven mouths to feed and hardly any money to do it with.

Thanks Steve, I think you have just given me the courage to give it a go !

[Doctor Gollum]

You can by roast dinners that you can cook from frozen or in a microwave if it's easier

The best gravy I've ever tasted was at a Fire Station, many years ago we were on standby & had been positioned there, they had an old dear who used to come in and cook their meals, we just happened to scrounge a roast dinner it was bloody lovely after the rubbish we'd been eating & the gravy was the best I've ever tasted in my life..

I rest my case. Dinner was probably shite, but nice gravy and you've cracked it.

the water the veg was boiled in poured into the meat tin the meat was cooked in with gravy browning to thicken 
or boil a kettle and pour it onto some gravy granules 
I quite like a bit of cooking, simple food ,though i do like to knock up a curry or chilli
 Mrs Builder can use just about every pot,pan and gadget in the kitchen when she cooks

Me and SWMBO have an understanding. She cooks it, i clear up the mess. She's a great cook.

Very similar in our house. Mrs is a great cook, although sometimes has a moan about having to do it. Standard female behaviour of course. I told her once " you dont buy a dog and bark yourself". This didnt go down too well.

Where did you buy her? How much was she?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Thats a much more civilised reply than the one she gave.

It's a wonder she didn't bite you and then piss on the carpet

So that's what happened with the stray you took in recently?

Got the second appointment at our dentist since they re-opened. Had a tooth, and it's accompanying abscess extracted.

The dentist was concerned about the local not taking because of the abscess, until I pointed out that what he was doing was much less painful than the abscess had been.

The anesthetic is wearing off now, but feeling much better than I did 24h ago

That must be a big relief, Jimmy, just the coronavirus you probably caught to deal with now
