[Sundae]

Turns out it went down very well.
Mum didn't tell me until afterwards that she moaned to Dad about the way I was cooking it. I thought maybe I'd got away with it, but it's true I heard her padding around the kitchen.

Anyway, she said when her SIL cooked it, it was gorgeous. Oh except it was too rare, so she had to cut it all up and ask for it to be re-fried.
And when she cooked it for Dad it was... okay...
But when I cooked it, it was LOVELY. Win! Win! Win!

She did make a point of telling me it was proper steak and would have been very good flash fried, but I think I set her mind at rest on that front, complimenting her on the steak and just criticising my own frying skills (no lie there).

So I am happy with my evening's work. Even though I am stuffed and she is still eating chocolate.
