Breadwinner
She was the breadwinner, and the baker, in the house. She didn’t cook during the week, but her Sunday roasts sprawled. They spread across the table as the years went by. Feeding four, she still had to make dozens of Yorkshire puddings, sometimes crisp and sometimes flatter and chewier. During my protracted vegetarian phase, cheese and potato pie was a staple. A revert to omnivorism saw the meat requirement increase substantially. Gravy, thick with fat and redolent with flavour from browning and vegetable water. Roast potatoes, smeared with dripping. Greens, overdone, wilted. Carrots and peas, mashed swede. Cauliflower or leeks in cheese. Sometimes an experiment would appear, “just a little something”, she’d lay out for our approval. On rare occasions it was such a success it became a staple demanded for significant meals.
