It's a horrible wet and windy Sunday, what better than a roast to cheer us up.

The weather forecast was not wrong, it's grey, windy and there's a lot of rain out there,  Just the sort of day too stay indoors and have a nice roast, so it's roast chicken today with home made sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes, parsnips, sausage balls and some greens to go with it.

Made the winter vegetable soup today from the left overs of last night's meal and it's turned out very well indeed, better than I imagined.  I just sweated off an onion, threw in a couple of garlic cloves and added stock and whizzed it up, sorted.  I'll freeze it when it's cooled off and we can have it whenever we feel like it.  Home made soup is so easy to do, cheap and tastes much better than anything you can buy, I'm surprised more people don't make it.  No doubt there'll now be lots of you telling me you do make it!

Now back to roasting that chicken.  Bon appetit.
