the rooster

Tues I bought a big chunk of pork, with the intentions of cooking up a roast, since I had a bag of new (baby) potatoes. Seems I am not that up with the cuts of meat, and I bought a block of pork belly!! After I got the thumbs down from both J and my folks, I decided NOT to "just try to roast it and see how it goes" and keep that pork belly for another day, so last night we had whatever I could scrimp together at 4:30pm -- which was pasta with bacon, brocolli, onion and tomato based sauce.

Wed morning I told K what we had to do for the day, which involved picking up J's work shirts from the dry cleaners, getting L's haircut (!!!) and buying some meat and pumpkin for the roast...By dinner time last night, K was so excited, and kept on asking where the rooster is ;)

Wed 26th - kinda Australia Day dinner - Roast pork (herbed up with thyme, pepper and cloves and roasted in roughly cut onion and apple juice) with roast veges (potato, pumkin and sweet potato), asparagus spears and honey-butter carrots.

OH YUM!
