A couple of days behind… Day before yesterday we had leftovers. There was a bit of the couscous left and also some of the Jamie Oliver dish from the previous day. Together with other bits’n’bobs it made an OK dinner and left us with good conscience!
Yesterday was Saturday and the weather was gorgeous. David’s sister and brother-in-law are always full of initiative (thank you, L & R!!) and called in the morning to suggest that we went for a boat ride on the Thames. So we quickly threw a picnic together and met up at a boat yard. Here we hired a 10-seater motor boat and took off. We sailed up and down the Thames for four most enjoyable hours, going through two locks on the way. Later we had dinner together in their garden and it was, tada: Leftovers!

Today is Sunday and traditionally you have a Sunday Roast here. So I decided to try out the previously mentioned Videojug for recipes for this most traditional meal. And it worked out a dream! My stomach is still happy… I made Rustic Roast Chicken with Crispy Roast Potatoes and Gravy. It doesn’t always have to be posh to be good, although I readily admit to loving all sorts of “fancy” ingredients. Having seen it on video just once makes it stick in a different way than reading a recipe. Try for yourself! And bon appetit.
