Sunday is a very down dog day in Ireland. Shops are closed and the day is reserved for the home. Luckily not all of the shops were closed because we needed to go out for carrots for our traditional Sunday dinner! Ann is truly a master in the kitchen and this mid day meal was a perfect example. There was a lovely pork roast with homemade applesauce, mashed carrots and turnips, broccoli and roasted potatoes with gravy. It tasted as good as it sounds and better. By the end, I was bursting to the point that it was all I could do to crawl upstairs and nap it off. After waking up from the short siesta, the meal wasn't over. Everyone had gathered again for dessert, which was, wait for it, stewed apples and custard! It was incredible, like creamy hot applesauce. We are being so spoiled here, it's going to be difficult to go back to eating reduced price supermarket food! Nothing else that day was even worth mentioning compared to the meal. And this happens every Sunday!
Cheers,
Elizabeth
