Roast Dinner

Imagine it. You gather around the table, the warm smell of a freshly cooked roast wafts across the room. Your mother places a bowl of roast potatoes, so divinely crisp that you wonder if they’re even real. Your sibling places a tray of freshly cooked vegetables, a kaleidoscope of colourful foods waiting to be consumed. Your father, doggedly sticking to traditional gender roles as if the past is an anchor weighing him down, slices into the roast serving each of you juicy cuts of meat that make your mouth water.

And what are you doing in all of this? Hrmm? Nothing, that’s what! Pull your life together Stanley!
