“On this lovely Sunday, remember to take a deep breath and relax. Enjoy your family, your friends, and indulge yourself in a nice cup of coffee.”
I LOVE SUNDAYS
......
This morning, I woke up early,
but continued to lie in bed and reveled
in the fact that it was Sunday
and I could do as little as I wanted...
I find it so amusing how time and age changes us...
My son, Jude - who is 8 years old,
was up, dressed and READY for the day
at like 7am this morning haha!
Whereas, whilst I had been awake early,
I had absolutely NO desire to anything but
squirm underneath the blankets
for a whole time longer! haha!
I had two coffees in bed,
fell asleep again for a little bit,
then mucked about on my phone for a while,
before even contemplating heading towards the shower... lol!
Some Sundays,
We get in the car and go on "mini road trips"
but today was not one of those Sundays... lol
Today was more like a
"nothing other than absolutely necessary will be achieved today"
kind of Sunday... hehehe!
and quite frankly...
THOSE are my favourite!
The most I did today, was go to the shops,
to buy the leg of lamb for the fire later...
Here is the evidence... lol
No, this is not a recipe post lol,
but many people ask me "what the hell"
I have put on my roast when they see pics...
so in the spirit of
"Sharing is Caring"
hahahaha.....
it is a wet mayonnaise rub...
consisting of...
(and it changes every time...lol)
Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper
Freshly chopped lemon thyme
Garlic
Lemon Juice
Chicken spice
Freshly chopped mint
A teaspoon of mild wholegrain mustard
Olive oil
You cook the roast wrapped / covered for main duration
and then for the last 30 min you uncover / unwrap it
so that the mayo rub can crisp up.
It is unquestionably, THE BEST rub
I have EVER used on roasts.
The mayo keeps the meat SO moist,
and is a fantastic tenderizer too...
This is how ours will be hitting the fire...
YUM!
In fact... I was SO lazy today,
that I even bought an "already made" salad!!
( GASP! what is this world coming to!!!)
ok, ok, ok... cooking lesson over...
hahahahaha!!!
Other than Lazing around,
and prepping delicious food...
there are only two things left
for me to share with you on this
wonderfully lazy Sunday!
The first (naturally) being WINE
(because no day is complete without it haha)
and MUSIC!!!!
Let's prioritise shall we....
and start with the most important...
THE WINE
Today is a Delheim Pinotage Rosé
one of my best!
So, CHEERS to that :)
And now, for some music!!
For some reason I woke up with a
MASSIVE SMILE
cemented on my face this morning....
So, I thought I would share this song...
because, well... it is a very apt depiction
of my mood and general state of being today...
from the time I opened my eyes,
right up to now... :)
HAPPY SUNDAY STEEMIT
Love you ALL LONG TIME!!!!
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
Happy Sunday to you Jaynie. Just like you woke up today with massive smile cemented on your face, is same way I hope to wake up with massive upvote cemented on my Blog.
Enjoy! Is that you in the pic?
Nice post, thanks you
Your post is very interesting friends, friends I upvote
Lolz seem you got your Sunday all figured out @jaynie... Sundays are supposed to be a resting day anyways so I can understand why you were reluctant to get out of bed + that lamb looks yummy already.... Hope you will be showing us in your next post what the final outcome looks like, I for one would love to see it. I seriously envy you, two cups of coffee ay!!... And you still slept back Hahahaha I don't have that liberty... It's still work for me on Sundays even though I don't go to work. Typical family chores here and there. It's good you took out time to rest, we all need it after the long week. Hope you are getting ready for the new week also :)... I sure ain't... @dee-y over and out.
Very nice story of Sunday. You are absolutely right. Holiday is always special for us. Be well of always with your family. Thanks @jaynie for sharing the blog.
Hello @jaynie
What an adventurous post.!
Have fun.
Haha what a Sunday. Where is me in all of these enjoyment? Haha
I love Sunday too, after a long weekend I spend my sunday with my family , although tomorrow is also official off here :)
Hehe, Sundays are awesome! I as well woke up quite early today, but stayed in bed for like 4-5 hours, because I felt like doing nothing, LOL...
Sometimes we just gotta relax and do nothing to refresh our mind and body :)
a sunny day for a lonely soul
Great song - never heard it before! Happy Sunday, @jaynie - looks like the only thing you're missing, to make your day completely wicked awesome is...
I didn't get a lazy Sunday today, and my day started very early with my son's athletic meeting yesterday so I feel a bit deprived... But nothing is going to interfere next weekend!!!
I love Sundays also! Especially during football season, I never leave the house!
