No more Sunday roasts until Christmas!

That poor maligned man- if he wants a decent Sunday meal I will give him my address.

Joking apart, it is a good idea, it does make it rather special.

I don't ban all roasts, but we had our last roast chicken until Christmas yesterday, and won't have a ham before Christmas.

I think it makes Christmas dinner a bit more special too.

That's it, it will now be stews, casseroles, pies etc on Sundays until we have our Christmas dinner.

I try to do it every year, so that the Christmas meal feels a bit more special, rather than just another roast with a few extras.

Does anyone else do this, or is it just me? (Mr P has had a slight pout, but he'll live grin) I do mollify him a little by occasionally doing roast potatoes with the casseroles. wink
