Sunday Roast

A long held tradition in the UK is a Sunday Roast.  All your family gathers together on Sunday night to eat a roast that has been cooking all day long.  We are talking beef/lamb roast with root veggies (parsnip, carrots, potatoes) with peas and Yorkshire pudding.  All topped with a rich beef/lamb gravy.

Every pub and restaurant has Sunday Roast specials on their menus, and almost every family still carries on this tradition.  So we figured… why not?  I like roast and gravy and make Yorkshire Pudding will be good. (note: did not love the yorkshire pudding)

Our landlord actually left us a crock pot, so in the roast went — neither of us know how to cook it in the oven to keep it from being too dry, so crock pot it is!  Torturous smell throughout the day, but it was a successful adventure.  We can now say ‘why yes, we have done a Sunday Roast (minus the parsnip cause that’s gross’.  🙂
