So, like i said in earlier blogs, Sunday Lunches here are OUT-OF-CONTROL!! it literally is America's Thanksgiving, EVERY SUNDAY!! Now, don't get me wrong, i LOVE FOOD and i hanging with the fam, so it is quite nice actually, so i am not complaining, i am just amazed that this goes on Every Sunday!
So.. Martyn (my other cousin) and Maddie, his GF picked me up, after a late start, around 11:30 and we were on our way. When we arrived at Clare & John's at noonish, and Mary & Pat and Frances were already there. It was great. Of course Football (Soccer) was on. The Brits here, as you know are crazy about their Football, as Americans are about their "football" on Sundays. And this particular game was a big one.. Manchester United vs West Ham... and i have learned.. WEST HAM is "THE" team to root for! -- -according to my cousins of course!! .. and i dare not stray!! :-) Although we lost that day, 1-0.. Boo!!
Anyway... this was Clare's first Roast and in my opinion, it was AMAZING!! we had Turkey and Roast Beef, and assortment of veggies from Carrots to Brusselsprouts! - --Oh, BTW, bursselsprouts are HUGE HERE!!! i have never eaten one in my entire life and 2 weeks in a row i was subjected to them!!.. and i ate them, but i must say, they are NOT my favorite veggie.. :-) anyway.. in addition, there were potatoes and gravy, i mean i could go on and on!! not to mention the delicious cheesecake and home made apple pie.. and bottle and bottles and bottles of wine!!
AHHHHHHHH..... GOOD TIMES!!!
