Off to my Mums for Sunday lunch and a few beers in the pub with my dad. Lovely roast pork and crackling. Nobody not even restaurants can beat my mums Sunday lunch why is it. Happy Sunday to you all.

Because it's cooked with love

Sunday lunch is always more enjoyable when someone else has cooked it. I used to love my mum's sunday lunch, still do in fact, but I've honed my own cooking skills over the years and in contradiction of what I said at the beginning of this post - I cook a mean Sunday dinner!

Actually I have to confess that my sons mash is way better than mine..and he has started to take over and cook the sunday dinner most weekends.. he thinks that I deserve the rest..

I would actually prefer to be cooking and the kids washing up if I am honest lol

I miss my mums lemon merienge pie though.. I have the recipe and everything but it just never ever tastes like my mums

It's not always the case. If I visit my mum on a Sunday I cook. It's best that way, trust me

Other way round for me. Mum comes to me for Sunday lunch.

Bless her, veggies were always boiled for 40mins, meat roasted until crispy and lumpy gravy.

Made great poached eggs though

This is soooooo true.Roast dinners are always good, but when my mum does them, the quality goes up a whole new level

My mum never cooked the sunday roast, it was always my dad that cooked it, and I learnt from him, especially how to make proper gravy, not this instant stuff you get nowadays.. Sadly I will never get to eat his sunday roasts anymore, he passed away about 21 yrs ago.

So tonights was roast beef, yorkies, roast and new pots, peas, carrots, runners and broccoli, not forgetting fabulous gravy mmmm- oh and apple crumble and custard for puds, with a portion to take home too!

Not mine - she's got a black belt in cookery (can kill a man with one chop)

One the other hand, she does make a lovely shepherds soup

I loved my nanas Yorkshire pudding. She made them with self raising flour but I can never get mine to rise if I try it.

Everyone loves my Sunday lunches but I get fed up to the back teeth of it by the time it comes to sit down and eat it and I leave half of mine.

But Monday fry up of the left over veg with cold roast meat, fried egg and pickled red cabbage, reading sundays papers in splendid isolation.... now you're talking!

try adding an extra egg and a bit of oil as you mix and make sure your tray is bubbling hot when you pour it in. Also leave it to stand for ten mins at least before you pour it in.
