Mostly every Sunday, whatever is happening.

I get a rolled rib of beef and cook it slow, slow, slow and have all the veggies and proper gravy.

I insist that we sit down at the table every night for tea.We don't have a TV in the dining room so that is not an issue.I just love putting the roast in on a Sunday and then going for a walk round the local area.I wish we had done a roast today as my Dad's partner is away and I feel a bit guilty leaving him on his own!I suppose we could always have a roast in the week.......mmmmm!

I bother and do a full roast dinner with all the trimmings at least twice a month and when we have visitors.
I don't find I am slaving away in the kitchen Lady Willow.
Sometimes I will cook the meat, if its a large joint, on low and on the Saturday evening. I also prepare my vegetables and one or two desserts that evening.
These three things help me cut down the time in the kitchen on the Sunday. Then all I am waiting on is the roast potatoes to crisp and turn a golden brown Meanwhile I'll be cooking the vegetables and sauces, in between sipping the cherry kirsch
Visitors often join me in a glass while we wait

I love my Sunday roasts and all the trimmings. I don't think there is a Sunday that I haven't had one. The whole family used to sit around the table for every meal, but not now, everybody is so busy and are coming in at different times. I do miss the family meals.

Not every week and when we do it's in the evening. This week it was roast beef with all the trimmings followed by rhubarb sponge pud. There's usually enough left-overs to feed both of us for a couple more nights. Last night some of the left-over beef was re-heated in the left-over gravy (a couple of left-over yorkshires reheated, the rest of the yorkshires went in the freezer)... I find the meat seems even better when re-heated the next night - my gran always had this sort of meal on a Monday. Quite often I'll just slice the rest of the meat and put it in gravy and freeze it - makes an easy mid-week meal with some mash and greens.
