Tasty But Tardy - Vegematarians look away!

Mmmm, roast chicken. Classic favourite. You actually can't go wrong, it always tastes brilliant. Lemon, garlic, thyme and parsely up the bum, rub salty peppery deliciousness into skin, and away you go!

Made a mushroom gravy, including lashings of white wine, stock, bay leaves, more thyme, etc etc. Gravy makes everything good.

Roasted veggies, esp shallots and new potatoes. Weeeeeeeee

Don't forget the peas. I cannot eat/cook/look at/think about peas without thinking about The Simpsons. With a knife.

The finished product. Notice excessive amounts of mushroom gravy. Ain't no other way I tells ya.

One of the all-time best soups in the world. No process shots I'm afraid, it's finished product or nothing. Turkey, lentil and vegetable soup, with a tomato-curry flavoured broth. It's so chunky, it's pretty much a stew. Winter staple.

There is absolutely nothing better than making a huge batch of this on the weekend, then knowing that no matter how long and tedious your day turns out to be, you have this deliciousness waiting for you at home.

It should be noted that I actually took these shots for the blog a good few months ago, was going to add more - but hey - I can always edit and add later, when I can be arsed.
