I cooked a roast for 9 adults today. I'm knackered. I know I'm living on a building site, so having guests isn't just a matter of shopping, preparing, cooking, and cleaning, but God knows how or why I used to do one each Sunday when the kids where little.
Does anyone still do the Sunday dinner for the whole family still?
Can't remember the last time I had a Sunday roast - always too busy doing other things and seems a lot of effort even for two of us lol

Stopped doing roast Sundays a long time back. The kids kept turning up π€£ Iβve moved 8 times β¦they still find me .. Emigrated twice..to no avail ππ€£π
Body clock still out and we were only 2 hours ahead
Went to DS yesterday for dinner and a catch up GD(15) going away this morning for 3 days to finish her Duke of Edinburgh award. Camping This girl is most likely going to be surprised. DH has gone down this morning with Avon skin so soft as it helps repel midges She did not think that they would bother her on a campsite Thought it would have been built in a clearning
DS gave me some stamps without the barcodes and said if i can be bothered to do the paperwork I can have them !!!! They were in someones drawer in work Oh how our values differ
No sun, not warm and heating on but washing and ironing all up to date I am hoping to go back to the gym this week, just for short walks on a treadmill. Joined in January and been twice Just as well the annual membership is Β£75 Council run facilities
I had no internet on the cruise so apologies for events missed TBH it was very liberating Lots of people still sat with their noses stuck to their phones Such is life
Good morning from a sunny Bucks π, app says sun til noon before clouds arrive π€, temp rising to 21C today π₯³. DS and GF visited for Fathersday which was lovely, facetimed with DD in Wales π₯°. Did not cook a roast but had picky bits from Waitrose, added salads and cooked some salmon, so more of a buffet lunch as youngsters are quite fussy π¬. They have agreed to come house and dogsit soon so I can go to Vienna with OH which is related to his old work but I found out some other wives coming along, so now I am interested too π. Am determined to eat Sachertorte whilst there and hope to do a city tour either with ladies or OH. Any tips from Elite who have visited Vienna?
Walkies πΎ next, then trip for groceries and a M&S return to drop off. HelloFresh box arrived this time thank goodness but need fresh stuff for lunches this week and additional veg.
Hope you all have some of this sunshine today, π«Άπ«Άπ«Ά where needed.
Sunny here as well PIB, I know I'm in an adjoining county, so that'll be why!
Good day in Wetherspoons this morning. Slot machine had 20p credit remaining on it, so I added another 30p for a 50p bet. Won Β£5 which almost paid for my brekkie and coffee. Plus I found Β£1 on a Cornish railway platform yesterday. Quids in lol

Good morning all, beautiful sunshine here
Two loads of washing out and drying nicely
I always cook Sunday dinner. My OH loves his Sunday dinner so there we go, if it was up to me it would be a simpler meal but there is one or two Sunday dinners I do enjoy and it is dead easy to cook. Sunday and Monday are the only days I have pud, this week it is a lovely melon from the Lidl giveaway. I still have some bananas to collect from that too.
Haven't had salmon since we went to Cyprus, must get around to getting some. Love the salmon wellington that Lidl and Aldi do, but they are way too big for us Wish it was easy to divide into two, not in the habit of cooking and then reheating salmon
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
We dont cook sunday lunch very often now, as driving home from Wales on a sunday, and too much faff.
Although DS cooked it yesterday which was nice.
Sun is shining here aswell for now, rain is forecast later this evening though, so best get grass cut this morning, and washing is already on the line.
I often cook a whole chicken on Friday night. Left overs will often do for 2 meals over the weekend and/or Monday night if there is only the 2 of us. Also means the kids can drop in at short notice to join us Friday evening, knowing that I will have enough to feed them.
This weekend we had chicken salad last night, after having been to a tea party in the afternoon and I will finish the chicken off in a stir fry tonight.
I always cook a roast dinner on a Sunday even though there is only the 2 of us, although I take a neighbour who lives alone a dinner most weeks. It is my favourite meal of the week and if I have left over meat I freeze it with gravy and take it out another Sunday to save on cooking the meat. We alternate with beef,lamb,chicken and pork.However much the food is lovely on holiday I always miss my roast dinner.

We (me and OH) have a roast regularly, but I cheat.
Roast joints cooked, sliced, and frozen with juices in portions. Proper gravy frozen in portions Mash frozen in portions Shop bought Yorkshires and garden peas
So it's just fresh veg to be done, gravy and meat in a pan. Mash in microwave. Yorkshire in airfryer... cooked in less than 30 minutes.
After yesterday, I have added to the freezer, and have the 2 carcasses in the slow cooker making stock.

You're definitely doing something very wrong.... are you telling them where you are? If they find you and turn up, hand them a paint brush! They quickly stop visiting

That's a great idea, we're having something with chicken tonight.
I can highly recommend M&S extra large organic chicken. There was enough meat for 9 adults, 2 of which have a huge appetite, with some meat still left on the carcass. Shame I cooked 2 of them!

I dont think Sunday dinner is/was done the same way up here I only recall a "fancy" dinner if we were having visitors and then it was steak pie padded out with links sausage
I seldom make a roast as DH is not fussed and family prefer fajitas or steak when they come on a Sunday
DIL mother annoyed me recently by saying her daughters standards have slipped since she married !!!! I ignored the remark
Kids were having beef sausages plus all the trimmings inc 2 veg I know its not a roast but its not too bad either especially as they dont really like roast beef and chicken is alternative week

Ooh, 'standards slipped'...... I bet you dealt with her mother x
Sausage and the trimmings sounds wonderful, yesterday I did pigs in blankets but didn't have enough bacon defrosted so there were also sausages... they all got ate. My OH would be happy with sausages every day of the week (preferably with chips and beans!). I remember, my dad used to make a lovely sausage, liver and kidney casserole in a rich tomato/meaty sauce, which included a tin of beans. It was so nice, it could have made it only a menu of a posh restaurant!
I only did the meal yesterday because it was father's day, and I wanted to spend the day with DS2.... instead of him and his partner visiting and having to quickly leave to go to visit his partners father, I thought if I invited them for a meal, that we get DS2 for the full day. My OH feels that everything was for him ;-) Although hard work, it was nice x
