Ditto, exactly what I was gong to say.
Rib of beef, roast potatoes cooked in goose fat, french beans, and carrots, homemade yorkies ( Brian Turner way works every single time
)
If you like gravey ( I dont, it is the devils food
) then a nice red wine gravey seems to always go down well.
Good luck

Takeaway passed off as your own, has always worked a treat for me! Good luck though.

M&S have a roast - special (the £15 deal I think) on at the moment...you could try passing it off as your own hard work using your own roasting tins!!
Just don't do what I did last night for supper, faffed around at work got home late, so was just starting to peel pots when friends arrived, was trying to keep it simple with bangers and mash and onion gravy...
Finally, sat down to eat and realised I'd forgotten to cook any other veg...I had spring greens in mind but was so busy chatting and drinking wine I forgot!
Good luck with the MIL!

What about a casserole? Bung it all in the pot and into the oven and forget about it for a couple of hours!
Serve with roasties or mash! Yum!

If you can get the large Aunt Bessies Yorkshires, then I'd agree a nice beef casserole in lashings of gravy would be easy to do, looks great when you ladle it all in to the puds and serve up with some veggies and roast taties - you could get it all readytonight, and pop the casserole in the oven cooking first thing which makes it easier when you're still trying to fly round with the hoover tomorrow!
