Well, don’t the Sundays come around faster every week !
Today for lunch we had roast beef, roast potatoes, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, roast parsnip, gravy and mustard.
For pudding Mom had made a trifle.
Something that we used to eat a lot of when I was a child, but as time has gone by it’s only really been at Christmas time that they were made.
However, a couple of years ago we had a trifle at a party and we decided that we would have a trifle much more often.
For those who do t know what a trifle is ….its a layered pudding.
The layers are jelly ….jello … ( with or without either fruit or sponge )
Blancmage ….like thick custard
Whipped cream
You can top with 100’s and 1000’s or cherries or strawberries
What have you had for your meals today ?

@Traceyjayne I think this is the residual of a medicine they gave me months ago. I stopped it several weeks ago, but the residual affects are slowly fading.

My Mom used to make something she called "pudding" when she made roast beef--Yorkshire pudding--though technically it wasn't pudding at all. I used to enjoy those.

@Traceyjayne Yeah, not a dessert--but like you said, delicious.

Yorkshire puddings are delicious. Not a pudding as in dessert.

I don't think I've ever eaten a trifle... What are 100s and 1000s?
I usually eat a sandwich made with a big croissant cut in half with a fried egg, a sausage patty and a slice of cheese for breakfast. (I buy them from Walmart. A 12 pack of them costs around $15. They come frozen and I microwave one every morning.)
I made a hot ham and cheese sandwich for supper with some chips/crisps.

@Traceyjayne Thank you. They swelled shut after I was here for a little while yesterday. They're still swelled up now. (myLot wouldn't let me on the site when I tried to talk again yesterday.)
Huh... those sound interesting.
I looked at recipes yesterday but Pretty said she wouldn't eat a trifle so I probably won't try making it.

Hey, welcome back ….how are your eyes ?
100’s and 1000’s are tiny bits of kind of dried icing ….its the best way I can describe it.
You should try trifle ….it’s delicious.

@traceyjayne When we got home from Church I bunged potatoes into bake and we had them with a mincey type saucy thing. It was actually quite tasty albeit somewhat uncouth in presentation.

With skills like that I expect to see you on the next series of Masterchef.
I am surprised to see the word uncouth …..next time please try and be more couth !

Trifle and fruit salad were dishes that we once only had at Christmas.

Your meal sounds delicious. I had some chicken Alfredo for dinner last night with a fruit cup for dessert.
