Hello all, hope everyone had a great Sunday.
My Sunday started off pretty much as normal. Sunday's always seem to be real food days in my life. Got up this morning, got Donal his breakfast and started cooking ours. Simple breakfast but it was really delicious, Fried rashers and egg with coffee. Then the real cooking started. My Mum, Dad and Brother were coming for dinner. So Donal and I made biscuits at 10am for our Chocolate Biscuit cake which needs a few hours to set in the fridge, hence the 10am start. While we were doing that Chris was cleaning upstairs (thanks babe). While the biscuits were cooking the 3 of us were just hanging out in the sitting room, Chris and I on the couch, Donal playing with his toys when all of sudden he jumps up and comes running towards me shouting ME! while jumping into my arms. Oh to spend 5 minutes in his head.
Anyway back to the Kitchen, as I was just mixing the broken biscuits into the melted chocolate, my older neighbour calls in with a berry crumble just because (I suppose I did make her treacle bread last week for her daughter and grandkids coming). Thanks Anne!
For the main course, I roasted a chicken (my dad, brother and son's favourite) with a delicious stuffing and roast veg, loads of spuds, and a sweet potato and pepper salad. Mum made her lovely mushy peas and I got her to make her lovely gravy from the juice of the chicken. I just can't do it as well as her. It was a great meal and was washed down with wine. Then dessert and plenty of "real" coffee. I love my coffee machine.
It was a really great day and I haven't even discussed the garden yet.
That will be tomorrow though, time for sleep.
Night all.
Emma
