Sparkler's Sunday Roast update...

[SPARKLER1]

It's chicken today!!!!!

Now I'm sitting here wasting a few minutes whilst children seem to be happy playing on their own (ahh the joy of being almost a year old and being looked after by your 4 year old brother )so I thought I'd pop in

something tells me I've missed a whole story behind the Sparkler-ettes sunday lunch

still Congratulations on the chicken (I guess)

And what will accompany your chicken oh sparkly one?

we will have beef bourginon today with rice and veg for a wee change- aint had this before.

made the hugest sunday roast last week for our visitors want an easy one today

Oh God, hope Cod doesn't see this

I have no idea what we are having today because I'm NOT cooking

I'm joining you with Roast chicken here too Sparkler. That's if my 3 will let me. dh working again today. He'll have to make do with leftovers. Roast tatties done in duck fat, yummy!

DS2 found a recipe for roast chicken and veg, so demanded that I buy a chicken. I have done that and it is now down to DS2 to cook it!

Freckle, did your son cook the roast then?

Didn't have roast in the end. Dh has been suffering with a hangover all day so I took the kids out. Shall have it tomorrow instead.

No. We had to go to a St. George's day parade in town and, by the time we got back, it was too late. We had something quick and easy instead, but ds2 did cook the pudding - Sticky Gecko Pudding from Planet Cook.

He will be doing the roast chicken for dinner this evening. We don't normally have a cooked meal for the boys in the evening as they have school lunches and a number of after school activities, but the chicken won't keep until the weekend, so we'll make an exception today.

If you're still interested, ds2 (9) cooked roast chicken with rosemary roasted potatoes and mixed veg today. He wouldn't let me help at all (which was a shame because he was taking such a long time peeling all the potatoes ). Ds1 (11) made lemon meringue pie too. Then I got to clear up........
