Monotony or tradition?

It's sunday afternoon and, as usual, I am cooking a roast dinner.
I can bet I am not the only person in the world doing so.

Our favourite roast dinners are probably beef or pork but today it's roast chicken with bacon and mushroom stuffing, roast potatoes, yorkshire puds, green beans, sweet corn, bread sauce and gravy. Above is not one I prepared earlier!

I am a stickler for a Sunday roast, I could be hungover and knackered (although not so much over the last few years) and I would still spend hours cooking, knowing it will be enjoyed. I could probably count the amount of roast free Sundays on one hand.

However, it is not so much the cooking that I love, although it is something I enjoy and am good at, it is more what it stands for. It is the four of us sitting around at the table for at least one evening a week and having the most random and bizarre conversations with no distractions.

Some people would probably say it is rather monotonous to cook the same things every Sunday but I do love this tradition. On one hand I like some change and can adapt well to it but on the other hand I do like routine and things done in a certain way. I like the tradition of this Sunday roast.
