The recycling bin was full to overflowing (with stuff in an opaque grey binliner that won’t get taken) this afternoon, so I trundled it out then ![Smile](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Tea has been toad in the hole, with onion gravy and a few chips. Not at all bad, though I think I need to tweak the batter recipe a bit, and get the tray slightly hotter next time then turn it down. But very tasty![Tongue](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/tongue2.gif)
The sausages were proclaimed by M&S to be their best ever pork sausage, and they’re very nice as sausages go. But they do that thing of being four big ones when you think there are eight normal-sized ones. This messed up my portions a bit, as the original idea was to have two portions of three sausages and one of two, the last of these for lunch some time; but instead I had to have a four-sausage-equivalent portion, which proved somewhat overwhelming.
I spent around forty-five minutes sautéing (is that the word when it takes so long, on a low heat?) the onions for the gravy, which was well worth the time; lovely flavour it had in the end![Big Grin](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Standing over or near the stove for so long hasn’t done my back much good, mind. A reminder of how wretchedly out of shape I am
