Dinner today (Sunday) was very special. Boon found at Lidl last week.
Venison Roast with Apple and Rosemary stuffing.
Mashed potato croquettes with Raclette cheese centres
Deluxe Onion Rings
Green beans with butter sauce.
Once upon a time, in my younger working days, a colleague offered us one meat packet of our choice as a gift. Their freezers had exploded with the overflow of two full adult Mooses. Her husband and his cousins had gone hunting.
I requested two steaks pack. Told Mother that we were going to have a treat for Sunday's dinner. Waited patiently all week for this amazing offer!
Finally, Friday arrived and colleague distributed our packets. It was well packaged and frozen. I'd brought a freezer pack to make certain it'd get home in good shape.
Come Sunday and the anticipation was in overdrive. We'd never had the pleasure so, we were looking forward to our meal.
Unfortunately, once defrosted, my so-called two Mose steaks were just 6 cubes of meat. Dinner was ruined and of course, I got an earful from Mother. So, unfair as it wasn't my fault.
I'll tell you this, I wasn't the only one who'd got screwed and a fortnight later said colleague had been fired.
So, tonight, it was a treat for daughter and I. Cooked in oven for 1:30 hours. It was simply divine. I guess as a funny you can say: "All good things come to those who wait..." In my case, just 30 years
