Dinner has been cooking for a few hours and smells delicious. I can't wait to eat it. 
Shoulder of pork, slow roasted for 6 hours so that it just pulls apart, mashed potatoes, red cabbage braised with prunes soaked in brandy, apple puree, brocolli and carrots, mmmmmm
Followed by cherry crumble and ice cream.   
How about that for a weather beater. Should cheer us up a bit

Calm down, Sally, calm down.... 

I had red cabbage for mine, too - but that was the only item my dinner had in common with yours!

Had the same thing the other week (Jamie Oliver recipe) and it was fab - it's waiting the six hours that's the killer

Sally, do you do your raost tatties with the pork fat? Mine turned out really well when I did
Anyone who has not tried this recipe can get it on jamieoliver.com and it is amazing .....and the gravy is the best ever! I added some red wine though.Well it just happened to be in my hand at the time

It was my Grandsons christening today and we fed 30 people on our own pork and lamb, was so pleased with myself and got loads of compliments on the meat.

Yes rockstar, I have dry cured 2 bits of belly and the best bacon ever ....and have just dry cured the cheeks and really tasty too.
The power of bacon.....
....my 7 year old daughter was upset when the piggies went for slaughter and the first meat she ate from them was sausages. She knew exactly where they came from and was fine about it, the next bit was a chop and bless her she tried, but all she could do was pick at them and cry ......the next bit was the home made bacon and if not for her would have a lot more in the freezer
She wanted some for breakfast today and I said are you glad that the pigs went into the freezer and she was 'yes, when is the bacon going to be ready'
She now when helping feed the pigs will ask 'Mummy is this an eating or keeping one?'
and she loved the 6 hour roast too!

It's such a great feeling to get those compliments when you have reared something and the meat is so good

Any time my granddaughter who is 5 sits down to any pork or lamb she will always ask "who are we eating today"? She loves helping with the animals but knows and accept that they are destined for the freezer.
