Smoked stuffed pork loin
Roast new potatoes! Roasted honey carrots, baby corn, all in big Yorkshire (shop bought!) had to rush out to get as mix didn’t rise for some reason! The pork made up for it though

Peas on a roast. Cop out or staple?
45 F from the southeast of England.
* This post is just for fun- or maybe not…*
So my granddad made a roast every Sunday for the family during my entire childhood. It was a ritual. We would take the dogs out for a long walk, go to the pub for a couple of hours and come back to my grandparents house for dinner. I’d always be involved because I LOVED spending any time I could with him. I learnt how to peel spuds, prep veg, make gravy, Yorkshires and most importantly the roasting of the potatoes and various meats. I clearly remember asking if we could have peas once. He told me (quite seriously) “Peas are for midweek dinner/teatime meals. When you spend this amount of time preparing and cooking, you don’t have lazy veg on it”.
Now I’m not saying peas can’t be on a roast. If you want them, you have them. However, I do get where he was coming from now I’m an adult making these delicious yet time consuming wonders. I don’t see the need to add a ‘veg’ component that’s so uninteresting. Peas are great for a quick veg option on your dinners after a day at work. I also don’t like peas on my roast because they mingle. I’m one of those people who eat like a ocd blind person. Each element is eaten in order of preference and finding a rouge pea under my meat or in my pile of spuds is a big NO.
What say you lot? 🫛

Rib of beef
Xmas memories fondly remembered here, always have a rib of beef on Boxing Day and this was a particularly good one. Gravy made from the roasting tin is impossible to mess up, Yorkshire puds, carrot and swede mash, roast spuds, parsnips and a little mixed peas and sweetcorn (my kids fave), horseradish sauce and mustard. Washed down with a deep burgundy like chateauneuf and I’m in heaven

Roast dinner whilst it's roasting!
It might seem a bit bizarre to be making a roast dinner at the start of a heatwave, but it also gives me leftovers for a good portion of the week for a few nice chicken sandwiches and some extra cooked veg/Yorkshire's that I can just heat up instead of having to it all from scratch in nearly 40 degrees weather 😂.
Anyway, feel free to roast my roast....meat is roast chicken (it was so succulent it was practically falling off the bird!), veg is steamed broccoli and cauliflower, yorkshire's are made from scratch with a recipe I found online that works well for me (maybe overcooked slightly? I'll include a bonus pic of the lot) and I had it all with mash (I have a tooth sensitivity issue and can find roast potatoes a bit tricky if they're quite crunchy) - this was ready made that you heat up as mash is such a faff! Gravy is chicken bisto (oh the horror! 🤣) mixed in with juices and fat drained from the cooked roast chicken. I was very happy with it and it was very tasty. Do forgive all the seasoning on top...I have had some sinus issues recently and I think it's affected my taste buds a bit so I tend to put a lot on, even with seasoning the meat etc 🥴.
