So as you've probably guessed it's Mother's Day here in England.
We usually go out for lunch but decided this year that we would cook Mum lunch at home instead. Well I say we decided I put the idea to my Sister and she agreed but then had to go somewhere so it was down to me. Of course this plan was in the week and today turned out completely different, lol.
Our oven gave up the will to live last week so we are currently waiting for the new one which arrives tomorrow thank goodness, so we have been using the most fantastic invention, the Halogen oven.
One of Mum's specialities is a trifle so she made one last night, OMG it was divine, only had one spoon though as I'm seeing a health trainer now, yes a health trainer, we don't say the D word in this house, we are not on a D we are eating healthy.
Mum did some roasted carrots, courgettes and onions in the oven first, then put the pork in it, it turned out so tender. I peeled the potatoes and sliced the cabbage and away we went.......
So the Mothers day feast was on the go, OK I know Mum did some of it as well, she likes to be in charge in her own kitchen, but she always leaves the mashed potatoes to me, they are my speciality after all, nice and creamy!
We sat down and really enjoyed our meal, just Mum, Sophie, Manny and Me, the kids are at there Dad's house. It's only just now that I am doing this that I have remembered WE FORGOT THE ROASTED VEG!!!! Hecky thump, lol.
We really enjoyed our Mother's day lunch, we always enjoy a family meal together. I bought Mum 3 lovely Lavender plants for her garden as she is in the process of getting it ready again for Summer, Sophie got her some forrero rocher and a nice china mug, so all in all a lovely day was had by all. I wonder what the kids have got for Sophie, no I don't I know what it is and I know where it is hidden, she just has to wait until they get back from there Dad's, lol!!!
ONLY 4 WEEKS TILL T'S AND 5 WEEKS TILL VEGAS!!!!!
