Eating too much!!!!!!

April 7 th  starts the chapter where Mr Slater says that he regards the juices left in the pan or roasting dish " .......as nothing less than treasure"
This brings back memories of childhood, when awaiting Sunday roast lunch Mum would dip a wedge of bread into the juices around the meat " to put us on until dinner was ready" Divine!!!!!
Or the next day with the remaining juices set hard (dripping) spread on bread with a sprinkling of salt. I guess we are too health conscious for that sort of treat today.!!!!!
So yesterday's recipe was Chorizo, cabbage and crayfish tails.
This was a delicious stir fry sort of dish using the juices from the chorizo.

This was followed by Hot cross bread and butter pudding

I was not looking forward to this. I hated bread and butter pudding as a child, part of school dinners, it's edges dry and curled with currants as hard as bullets!!! Not surprisingly Mr Slater's was nothing like this but rather a delicious concoction of egg yolks, double cream and hot cross buns amongst other ingreds. So lovely was this desert that we both ate far too much and couldn't move for the rest of the evening!
