What's for dinner?

We be are trying a new place for lunch today near Oxford. Dinner will therefore be something light, maybe a poached egg. This morning I am going to a Macmillan Coffee Morning, where I imagine there will be plenty of cakes. I’m taking one!

May7 that sounds delicious ? must try it.

He said to do that Hetty but I waited. ?

TillyTrotter, there's no way I'd wait for a late coming home anyone! I'd eat when it suits me, leaving him to reheat his!

I had lentil pasta with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions - followed by stewed apples (there's loads picked from the tree) and raisins with crumbled biscuits - all very nice!

Lazy meal. Green beans, peas and a TV cottage pie with sweet potato. I'm working a lot more hours now and don't have the time or inclination to do proper cooking.

Did have fat free yoghurt with foraged blackberries tho. Mmmmm

Your food has made me crave the noodles from my local Chinese take-away Trisha57. They are delish but I've only had them once in the last 3 months because of the calories!

Looking after DGD this afternoon so meal was semi prepared. Oven baked cod with mashed potato broccoli and parsley sauce. DH loves it as it reminds him of school dinners. Then apple crumble with custard. I put some raspberry jam in with the apple, also 'hid' a spoonful of not very good homemade marmalade in it.

We have our main meal at lunch time. It was Spaghetti Bolognaise, followed by stewed rhubarb.

Supper has been salad and quiche and fresh fruit.

Ooh May7 that sounds yummy

Anglesey eggs:
Creamed potato with leeks and poached egg with cheese sauce
Wild Raspberries (just foraged) and cream.

Jumbo prawn Kung Po from scratch and vegetable Chow Mein (home grown veg but bought noodles). I love cooking Chinese food! No pudding - neither of us are bothered with them but might have some cheese and crackers later while watching Manhunt.

Beechnut

I don’t know who’s doorstep to turn up on ?

You are welcome, the wine is open and I always over cater

I've got celeriac, red peppers and garlic roasting - will add meatballs.

Glass of chilled white Rioja whilst I wait

I don’t know who’s doorstep to turn up on ?

*saltimbocca

Feta and beetroot salad followed by mango , raspberries and kefir.

So far in my kitchen this evening, one chicken Kiev and salad, Haloumi Fries, baked beans and salad (DD & GC)

When they are done I will cook saltimboco (pork escalope wrapped in Parma ham with sage) (sp) with new potatoes and veggies for DH & I along with a chilled Chilean White Wine

Goat burgers sound lovely 62Granny we like goat curry.

Fillet steak with mushrooms and saute potatoes.

Stroganoff and potatoes

Bit different we are having goat burgers , they are from a local farm and we haven't tried them before going to serve with home made oven chips and mushrooms in a creamy sauce.

Home made fish cakes and fresh spinach done in the steamer
then probably eat a satsuma and an apple. Feeling a bit healthy
and have resisted the temptation to go and get a chip butty from the chip shop.

My once a month treat grilled thick cut crispy bacon, egg, fried tomatoes, beans and a slice of toasted granary bread to mop up the eggs and beans. At least I forgo the fried bread which I crave especially with fried tomatoes. Sugar free jelly for dessert. The beef casserole sounds delicious.

Fruit juice, then Teriyaki salmon with edamame bean and cabbage stir fry and noodles. It’s really filling so just Magnum minis for dessert. Since I discovered Farmfoods sell 2 boxes for £4 instead of the local supermarket £2.75 for one box, I nearly always have some to hand.

Beef casserole with mashed potatoes and runner beans. I don't eat puddings, much as I love them.
