What's for supper?

It was chicken curry, cooked by DH as I was at work all day.
But then he forgot to cook the samosas, pakoras etc - my favourite bits!

Home made chicken pie with French beans, baby carrots and broccoli - DIL been working all day and has appointments for the boys when they all get back from school - so I am on catering duties! Bought a key lime pie for desert though - DS loves it and I am quite partial to it.

Home made fish pie, made it at last minute and had to go out for 5.30. Hence I smelled of haddock for the evening.

Venison casserole with juniper berries (very cheap from the butcher) steamed new potatoes, broccoli, carrots and to follow the last of the baklava I made on Sunday.

Pan fried bream fillets (Aldi, not expensive) Stir fried veg from the garden - pak choi, garlic, cavalo nero, carrots, leek - boulangere potatoes.

The diet means no wine until Friday

Rissotto balls (from Waitrose). new to me, but they were remaindered so I thought I would try them, they were very nice, and a side salad. DH is singing in an opera all week so doesn't want to eat before he goes out so I am free to eat what I like when I like.

All sounds yummy, one of my colleagues says 'supper' a few of us NORTHERNERS say tea, but most say dinner. Left over cottage pie for us with Savoy cabbage

Sausage casserole with any veg from the bottom of the fridge thrown in, along with a tin of beans and some macaroni to thicken it. Yummy !
No wine though as I limit myself to weekends but might have a sloe gin later just to check on its progress.

Pork chops in the oven with apples and parsnips and some lovely Cavalo nero.No alcohol as still recovering from over indulgence at the weekend

Grilled pork chops, cauliflower, broccoli and mixed salad .
Yummy !!

Honey Mustard chicken with wholegrain rice later!

Just waiting for the pressure cooker to finish hissing and I am having a beef and red wine casserole!

whenim64 I'm very jealous. I do miss proper pork pies because of living in France. But I did enjoy a couple last week while I was in Cardiff.

I eat very little for lunch and usually eat 'proper' in the evening and then it's difficult when you go out to eat at lunchtime. Then I don't know what to do and sometimes end up consuming more calories than normal. Ho hum!

I'm trying to use up contents in my freezer so I can defrost it, which I haven't done since I bought it, 12 years ago! Defrosted some salmon, smoked haddock and prawns, although would add that they haven't actually been languishing in the freezer for 12 years, only a couple of months! Have made a fish pie for supper with those ingredients covered with a cheese and chive sauce and topped with a mixture of ordinary potato and sweet potato mash. I'll shove it in the oven when my husband wakes up from his after golf snooze, hopefully anytime now.

Sadly I haven't a glass of wine to ponder while I gaze at him opened mouthed and snoring!

Spaghetti hoops on toast and a yoghurt. Have just got in after cooking tea for 3 DGC and am now going out to Community Choir practice.
DH cooked himself venison burgers.

Sausage and mash here too with tomatoes, mushrooms and broad beans and there is a slice of chocolate fudge cake with my name on it .

Lunch out today, so just a snack this evening. Daughter has brought back a batch of pork pies from a place in Huddersfield - Hinchliffe's? Apparently they are award winners, and I can see why. Delicious!

So far, the heel of the loaf spread with butter and apricot jam, a chunk of REAL creamy Lancashire cheese (not that white plastic stuff most shops sell) and a mug of tea. Was in school this afto getting to know fourteen potential Rotakids and came home a bit tired. Minibags had earned some computer time vacuuming her room and the kitchen and clearing out her bookshelves.

Hummus -made on Saturday for a family get-together and followed by ratatouille made to fill a veggie lasange (vegetarian friend for dinner later in the week) with leftover lamb. Yum. Oh gin and tonic while it's getting ready.

Mr P has made a large quantity of spag bol, some for tonight, some for the freezer.

Sadly, current restrictions mean no wine, but I'm having a glass of Lidl's cider in a wine glass and pretending!

Sausage and mash, caramelised onions, petit pois, red wine gravy and (I've had a very trying day!!) and possibly

Thanks for reminding me, I have a glass or two left in the fridge. The food will be second place as I fancy a nice glass of dry white.

Chicken legs with sherry, baby onions and olives cooked in the pressure cooker. Rice and fresh beetroot. Stewed apples but alas no cream or custard
