Don't know if I should encourage you in your addiction, Ants, but Waitrose sell a block of dark chocolate with ginger pieces. Damn fine it is too! I love dark chocolate covered ginger! Well, all things ginger really  Green and Black do one as well, although I haven't tested that one out. |

Did you succumb to temptation and are having roast lamb tonight Mort?
Alas, I am obviously too much of a weather wuss, Ants. You Norf Lunnon City Slickers don't know what proper weather is Mort!! Even perfectwagnerite has testified to the coldness and wetness of Welsh rain as being above All Other Rain in its Drenchiness!  Mills has to battle with mountains of sand but Londoners get a bit of drizzle and think it the end of the world!   Mort, I do regularly buy that chocolate! Also crystallised ginger of course to nibble. Jars of ginger with the syrup drizzled over vanilla ice cream is so wonderful. The Mincing Sisters do it again! My Nan was a huge fan of ginger, so at Christmas I bought her a box of it and she bought me a box of it!! The Green & Black is good as well. |

Ooh. Frustration. I want my dinner NOW! Not at 7pm!
Maybe I can have a little bit of bread to see me through...

You would not believe how much these two have scoffed! I've managed to hide a dozen small cakes in a tin for tomorrow in the back of the cupboard but everything else has gone.  |

I've dramatically over estimated portion size tonight. [um, could martle and tommo please avert their eyes, thank you]
Very nommy lamb, and lovely roast potatoes (yes, there was goose fat involved).
I am now steadily making my way through the veg, but I've got about half of the lamb left for another day.

I seem to drastically underestimate portion size. They've had a whole chicken breast each and a leg, roast potatoes, carrots, beans, peas and sweetcorn - followed by much cake! Teenager is unfillable and the child has been to football practice and has been physically active ever since - so I suppose that's understandable. Both of them are very slim - not thin - just right - but oh IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!  If I ate all that I'd look like Dawn French.  |

I find that some days I can just eat and eat and eat, while other days I'm more limited. I think that if I'd started eating an hour earlier, it perhaps would all be gone now. As it is, I'm left with about half the joint of lamb (it was quite small) and a couple of roast potatoes.
Nice leftovers to have!

Tonight was 'cold' (actually room temperature) roast chicken, rice and salad. The chicken, cooked a couple of days ago, I got from the infamous 'Taj' - much valued by us Brightonians - halal, and utterly delicious (i.e. big, fat, juicy and bursting with flavour, costing about £4. It's still only half eaten.) I always stick a lemon up its bum. But that's just me.
Nom.

That reminds me of The Tiger Who Came to Tea - does your little one know this story, Milly?  It's quite dated now but kids still love it. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

I have a lovely memory of my father reading it to him over and over again. Little one enjoyed it but preferred Thomas the Tank. |

All mine loved the hungry caterpillar story. I still have all the children's books. I even have the very few that I managed to glean for myself as a child. All very precious.

Tonight I am going to have pork. This is very unusual for me but it looked rather nice. It is ready prepared and is a piece of boned leg with a bramley and cider stuffing. I will have colcannon with it and probably a few sprouts.
