Yes, we did get to do RLC this weekend despite all the other functions that were imminent, and as you can tell by the photo, our decision was largely influenced by ease of preparation. A 50th birthday do was to be cooked and set up for (see previous blog post);  church morning tea the next day to cook for; the Marriage Course desserts to create….

Boy discovered some dark, rich pumpernickel bread and bought 2 packets for $4.40, each with 10 slices. We ended up using only 1 packet.

Tinned fish of the sprat/herring variety were thought of, but maternal intervention led to the challenge to think beyond this.

Boys disappeared and returned with 14 slices of 2 varieties of presswurst (brawn). To finish off, a slice of a fridge staple–pickled gherkins.
Quick to prepare, intensely tasty and substantial–3 or so sandwiches each for about $7.

You never know what you might get on a RLC.
