This evening it’s chicken risotto as I needed to use up some leeks and yesterday’s roast chicken.

It’s happily cooking in the Thermomix whilst I waste time on SM!

Risotto is my go to comfort food, I just love it and I always have ingredients to cobble one together.

Chicken and vegetable stir fry followed by plum crumble and custard.

I had breaded plaice, chunky chips and fresh runner beans. Dessert was a small cherry pie with cream.

We had a fairly substantial lunch out, so I’ve just had some toast and pate, and dh is going to make himself a couple of eggs on toast.

Supper in my neck of the woods is a before bed snack/meal.A sandwich or toasted cheese or something similar .Around 9.30 or 10 pm.
We have breakfast ,lunch and dinner no suppers these days as we don’t eat after 8pm oh and I don’t do breakfast ,my first meal is around 1 pm

For rea we had cold roast pork, bubble and squeak and pickle because we had roast pork yesterday.

No idea about tomorrow, for once it is unplanned.

Right! I think I may be herded out of town for this, but here goes anyway...

What is supper? Meals for me used to be: breakfast/dinner/tea up until I left London in the 70's, then when I got married and moved to Oxfordshire it became breakfast/lunch/dinner, but I've never knowingly prepared a supper. From what's being said it sounds like lunch or dinner to me, I always assumed supper was a light meal, like sandwiches or a slice of cake sort of thing.

For us supper is an informal evening meal, usually eaten around 7.00pm.

Dinner would be a more formal meal.

We have lunch. Supper is usually soup, cheese or ham sandwich followed by fruit or yoghurt.
