Two YS purchases in an experimental dish that actually tasted divine.
Slow poached florence fennel (31p) and Haddock loin (£1.21). Thinly sliced fennel cooked in a wok with butter and the juice of an orange. When softened a bit (took ages!) added haddock loin, covered and poached on a low heat for 15 minutes.
Served haddock on a bed of fennel and added cream and salt and pepper.

I like my traditional Sunday dinner. Today is pork chops, new tatties,carrots, brussel sprouts and sweet potato with plenty of gravy. Enough veg ieft in pans for to make a vegetable soup for meatless Monday!

Gammon ham with poached egg & asparagus ( I was devastated when I saw asparagus in my shopping bag! Long story). On toast. It was quite nice though .
Followed by homemade rice pudding! Never made that before.
Roast chicken breast with roast potatoes, mash, broccoli, beans and carrots with gravy made from the veg water. Apparently that was the best roast potatoes ever, and Jay would've been very happy if that was his Christmas day dinner! I'll take that for sure
A couple of hours later, I had leftover yorkshire puds with yoghurt and jam.

Well,they were pork chops!
I made the gravy in my little gravy boat with one oxo cube topped up with gravy granules & juices from the meat. I mustn't have mixed it well enough and don't strain my gravy! Still tasty though!

You don't need to use stock cubes and granules to make gravy.
Stir a little flour into the fat & meat juices in the roasting tin over a little heat. Add the veg water, little by little, stirring all the time. Soon you have Real gravy.
My first attempts at Real gravy were described as as thick as tar - so solid you could carve it!

If you say so, but I have always used meat juices,oxo and gravy granules and like it that way! Your way sounds a bit 'wishy washy' (and you don't get a picture of a pigs head on your chop)
