Midweek cooked dinner

Thinking about the menu for this week’s shopping I was minded to remember we always had a mid-week cooked dinner as a kid. Do I think about food a lot, well I do. I just don’t think about it I watch it on TV and read about it even if I will never eat it.

It was our normal fare for a Wednesday growing up in the Ugarte household, a small version of Sunday dinner, which by the way is my all-time favourite meal. No joint of meat on offer but chops pork or lamb; and god how I hate lamb chops, they are all bone and little meat. To this day, I turn my nose up at lamb chops and this Welshman is not to fuss on lamb as a whole. That lamb chop hate is still with me today and I can’t remember the last time I bought any.

When I first got married and our kids were growing up a mid-week dinner was a regular on out dinner table on a Thursday has our boys had football training on Wednesday’s. Recently it’s become a rarity surpassed by curries on our menu and we just happen to be having the fore mentioned curry tonight.

We mostly missed out on chops when we do have one and plumed for a sausage dinner instead and I am licking my lips thinking about it which means it will soon by on my plate, maybe Thursday.
