Dinner tonight

[JanB]

Is going to be a bit of a bodge job

I was thinking we could have the last of the meat from the leg of lamb, so I prepped all sorts of veg, and then looked at the leg.

We're having sausages to add more meat

With gravy

Why do people voluntarily put themselves through this Hell?

What's wrong with a "meal" and what the Hell is Lo-salt gravy when it's about?

Home made everything here, no TesDa or SainsRose stuff on this table.

Cranberries - fruit of the Devil. Prunes! Honey glazed parsnips! Do be brief.
