Sorry all these updates are taking me so long, I keep meaning to update more often but always find myself strapped for time. Anyway, onto this feast!

What can I say? It looks like a plate of ingredients. No longer is my mother even bothering to prepare the food, she just gives me the basics and lets me work with it. How thoughtful of her. I suppose at least this way I also foot some of the blame.

For maybe the billionth time in a row we have my arch nemesis New Potatoes. I await the day that we face each other for our final battle, where good will conquer evil and children and women will cry in the street as I walk away triumphant.

Also on offer we have some unpeeled carrots, boiled until they are still the wrong side of soft and arranged in a slapdash manner on the plate.

Let us not forget the pie! A pie exactly like this was featured a few days back, albeit slightly more burnt than this one. Pretty standard pie, virtually no meat or gravy inside, with pastry that is made almost entirely of sawdust.

Since this plate was possibly the most boring and dry thing ever, I decided to knock up some gravy (god knows why no one else had not already done this, I worry for my families sanity sometimes).

So here goes. As you can see we are using only the best gravy granules, and I have chosen the Onion Gravy to complement my meal, mmmm! So one long wait for the kettle to boil later and hey presto………….

Behold! The brown god that is gravy! Also accompanied by two slices of bread, not cheese as some people seem to think when they see the picture. Although to be honest, I doubt my mother would see anything wrong with adding two slices of cheese to the meal.

When it was placed over the ingredients it looked like this:

I may have made a bit too much, but too much gravy is better than none at all.

Or at least in this house it is.
