I cooked my first roast last night
Not bad for someone who 4 months ago ate everything out of a box or bag straight from the freezer. I am starting to get a little worried that I am getting to use to this "houseboy" role.

My yearly roasting dinner is coming around again (thanksgiving) its the only time I can be arsed to cook a proper roast it either that or a bunch of stringy green caserole and weird white fluffy stuff
This year I will prepare the roast at my house and take it too the in-laws, last year I tried to do it at the mother-in-laws and it didn't go down to well, you see housewifes have a thing about others in THEIR KITCHEN...
I shall be doing roast potatoes (not quite like mum's though) SWEDE also known as ratabaga or something like that, peas, carrots and maybe a bit of cabbage, I shall leave the turkey to the mother-in-law.

I got all the major pots and pans out on Sunday and whipped up a toad in the hole and roast potatoes with Bisto gravy granules for the family on Sunday!
Can't beat that fat feeling on a Sunday night...all I needed was Songs of Praise, Last of the Summer Wine, Hartbeat (remember that with Nick Berry)....give the dinner a few hours to digest...then hit the kitchen again for apple pie or rhubarb crumble or some such stodgy British pudding....I wish!
It was roasting inside and out (84 degrees). I must try harder to stave off the winter nesting insincts in future....

Bisto Gravy Granules!!!!! :PARTY:
Q: Why does BBCAmerica in no way resemble BBC? Or has the UK been taken over by Carol Smilie and Graham Norton?

I knew that rutabaga (the Swedish word for Swede, the vegetable) was American for what Brits call swede.
However, I'd only ever read the word so I didn't know its pronounciation. When I first said it to my husband, I pronounced it as "rootabugger".
Husband (to be at the time), burst into uncontrollable laughter. Well, how was I to know how it was pronounced?

Quick NC, tell us how it is spelt. I can surprise hubby when he gets home from work. Today I'll learn how to pronounce rutabaga, tomorrow I might read the Constitution!
(Anyone actually read it yet?)
