My mother made a lovely roast dinner, and always the leftover meat on Monday, minced with mashed potato, sometimes with a spoonful of curry powder in it, very daring in those days. She had a pressure cooker and made lovely tender stews with whatever little meat she could afford. Always lovely puddings too. Used to love plain egg and chips too. Sadly her sponge cakes let her down; they were always dry, and we were obliged to chew our way through a slice every Sunday teatime.
