SUNDAY 28th/ APRIL 2019.
We had a nice lie in this morning and after
a quick freshen up we had our fresh fruit, toast & tea before getting today’s
‘ Roast ‘ on the go.
This morning the sun was out first thing
and the clouds had cleared as there is a light ‘ Lavante’ breeze blowing up
from the Mediterranean, the sky is blue and by lunchtime it’s due to reach 21
degs+ - overnight down to 13 degs, next week is still looking dry & sunny,
partly cloudy at times, hovering in the low 20s, by next weekend going a little
bit warmer, reaching 23 degs+ by next weekend. Watch this space.
We have another booking in ‘ Doggy World
Heaven’ next weekend, when little ‘ Winnie’ – the Black Pug is coming back for
a two-night sleep-over on Saturday, she will be joining ‘Chico’ who is back
with us from Wednesday for a week, ’Scruffy’ is also here on Friday afternoon
for a few hours, watch this space.
The ‘ Roast Loin of Pork’ seasoned with
Lemon Juice & Sea Salt, went into the hot oven on a bed of mixed ‘Trivets’ –
Brenda then peeled and par-boiled the roast potatoes ( sliced in half) before I
tossed them into the hot –‘ Goose- Fat ‘ - to go in the oven this evening, I
made the ‘ Mixed Herb Stuffing’ and baked it at the same time as the Pork. I will glaze the ' Fuji' Apple slices this evening.
I then made my famous finger-licking ‘Pan
Gravy’ with the juices in the roasting tray, de-glazed with a rich ‘Meat &
Vegetable’ stock, the seasoning and consistency adjusted to taste, a dash of ‘
Crosse & Blackwell’ Gravy Browning to colour, then left to cook-off under
the eye of the ‘ Second Chef’ – meanwhile the ‘ Vegetable Chef’ had prepared Crushed
Baby Carrots & Turnips, Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets in a three
Cheese sauce, Wilted Sea Kale & Garden Peas, with a small dish of her
famous ‘ Mashed Potato’!
At lunchtime we are going along to ‘ Bar
Castillo ‘ for a nice cool drink, sat outside in the warm sunshine, we had a small selection of 'Tapas' - Paella, Callos,( Tripe & Chickpea Stew) Russian Salad & Korma Chicken, after
supper this evening we will settle down to watch the pen-ultimate episode of
the very exciting & gripping ‘ Line of Duty ‘ - last night there was a surprise ending to
the excellent Danish drama ‘ Follow the Money ‘ which also reaches it’s climax
next weekend. Watch this space.
PS; She didn't win it this month !! Watch this space in May!
