Daddy hosted a Sunday roast!

At least once a month daddy likes to prepare a big Sunday lunch.

Over the summer we didn't do this as much, but now that the leaves are falling to the ground and the sun isn't out all afternoon, daddy has been looking through his cook books looking for that perfect recipe. 

See, daddy is the chef in the family and mami likes it when he makes a big meal. That way we have leftovers and we don't have to worry about dinner the next night (she likes to plan ahead).

Daddy in cooking it up!

When Aunt Bessie's (mami's personal favourite, because it helps her cook faster. Especially the mash potatoes!) gave us some vouchers to buy some accompanying sides for our roast, daddy immediately jumped at the chance to start his Sunday cooking again.

Baked apples and the carrot and swede

We were supposed to have some friends come over, but in the end it was just the three of us!

Daddy's Sunday Lunch Menu
***
Pork loin with crackling (mami stayed away from that!)
Baked apples
Yorkshire puddings
Roast potatoes
Onion and sage stuffing
Carrot and swede mash
Cream celeriac and parsley salad
Lettuce and tomato salad

Drinks
***
Wine for mami and daddy
Orange juice for me

 Dessert
***
Homemade fruit salad (even though we were too full to have some!)

So when the cooking began, we cleared out because we have a small kitchen. Only one of us can really be in there at one time. Which reminds me that Aunt Bessie's is also giving you the chance to win your very own tasty IKEA kitchen worth £8000! Mami says that if she had a big kitchen she just might consider cooking more. Hmm?

I sit at the head of the table!

In the end, the roast was really delicious and daddy got to spend time with us because the sides were easy to make. If you don't believe me, just look at the pictures!

Daddy's masterpiece

The best part about Sunday lunches is that we all get to sit at the table together. Usually I am in bed when mami and daddy eat, so it was a special treat for me.

That's me having my yummy dinner!

Can't wait until we do this again. I ate everything on my plate!
