Morning all - another mixed day, who knows what will ensue? Rain? Sunshine? Raving gales?
5.5 this morning with a flat line - Perfect! Just where I like to be!
Last night's dinner could have been a total disaster as it was leftovers fried up all together - some mixed grain rice, 3 small roasties sliced and fried with the carrots, some fennel left from Sunday and half a courgette diced up, along with several thin slices of roast pork. It added up to quite a plate full each. I didn't indulge in the leftover lemon pud, but perhaps tonight!
Still on the subject of food and thinking of the earlier conversation here... when did Turkey become de riguer for Christmas? It certainly was not traditional when I was a child. A chicken was luxurious then, but we more often had roast pork (mind you, that might have been due to grandfather and an uncle who both kept pigs). I gave up on both Duck and Goose due to lack of meat on them and a disgustingly greasy oven after the goose. We like to have a roast fillet of beef with a port and roquefort sauce (an ancient Good Housekeeping recipe) or this year we will have a haunch of Venison, boned and rolled.
Just got a phone call from the Diabetes clinic offering me a consultant appointment tomorrow afternoon. I snatched it as it's only 3 months overdue. At this rate I'll never get the Xmas cards done!
@Elenka_HM I'm not that keen on carveries as the veg are always overdone, but hope you enjoyed it.
@Paul Gibbins congratulations on your HS.
Have a good one all!
