Luncheon
Roast rib of beef for lunch, the first time for a while. 5lbs 9.5oz done for 1 hour 50 minutes at 190C followed by 10 minutes with the oven turned off. Basted with about 1oz of lard and oven door opened once for further basting at around the 1 hour 30 minutes mark. Served with boiled flat cabbage and boiled newish (taste the difference) potatoes. Best beef we have had from Manor Green Road since I can remember. Excellent texture and flavour. Might even pop in and tell him so if I happen to pass tomorrow.
Followed up with a Pink Lady for desert. Not quite as good as those we had last week, but still a very good apple considering it did not grow any where near here any time recently. The web site (http://www.pinkladyapples.co.uk/) tells one nothing about who grows the things or where, but does have a South African competition, so maybe from there. On the other hand, I have read about half the crop of them from Washington State going to McDonalds so who knows.
