Sunday Tea. Roast Dinner.
A minefield in the world of collective living. Vegetarian requirements. Non-vegetarian requirements. Time management.
All problems the uncoordinated mature students must over come on this day of rest. But we have overcome. Me and the Sweet Lady, my beloved Sous Chef produced a delightful Sunday evening meal.
Roast Potatoes according to my Dad's trusted recipe. After a bit of timing and heating issues they turned out great. That's twice now I have produced Roast Potatoes of a high calibre. The Sweet Lady made a very tasty and fresh carrot and swede mash, not to buttery, but rich enough to melt in the mouth. Sweetcorn was also served, and was crisp and tasty. The gravy too was well gravylike and thus a key component of the meal.
The Sweet Lady had some Cumberland Sausages for her 'main' which were apparently delicious. As a vegetarian myself I am unable to comment. For the veggie 'main' I tried something new. This is dangerous I know, but sometimes, innovation in the kitchen comes from this most fraught of paths.
I tried to make a Garlicky Cabbage and Quorn concoction, and before I BURNT it, it was just that. Garlicky Cabbage, moist flavoured Quorn. Lovely. But I left it alone for too long (having the laptop in the kitchen is a dangerous game) and it had started to burn on the bottom. Bad Times. It wasn't ruined but the original lovely-ness was gone.
All in all though tea today was great. Good Food strikes again in the Bolshevik Haus.
