What's for Dinner?

[Sundae]

Ha! Having pork again this Sunday!
It's one of my favourite meats, whereas Mum favours chicken or lamb. But I'm guessing there was a Buy One Get One Free deal, because the packet in the freezer is exactly the same as the one she used last weekend.

the weekend after this, two of my Dad's friends and wives are coming for the weekend. It's John's 70th birthday. They're coming Saturday, going out for a meal and staying overnight at a B&B. They'll have some sort of unspecified meal here on Sunday. Brunch/ lunch/ BBQ.

Now as soon as Mum told me this I started making suggestions. I just love to feed people. And yes, I'm happy to clear up afterwards too. But she said, NO! No, don't. They will want to go back home. Don't start making all these plans. I swear I only wilted a little internally. I am confident I carried off the disappointment well.

Still, Mum might have sensed it.
Because a while later she said, "How about you do Sunday dinner this weekend? You can make that pork dish you mentioned."
She might be being nice because I'm still slowly killing myself. Or it might be because I was denied a chance to try out my salmon in a balsamic glaze. But either way I am chuffed to bits.

Shame it's only pork steaks and not a shoulder that I can slow cook.
But you don't look a gift pig in the mouth.
