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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Salmon, asparagus and a jacket spud. Kept it simple as we had a big roast beef dinner yesterday.

Norah Mon 27-Apr-26 19:53:18

We made mushroom, asparagus, pea risotto - again.

Asparagus season is short, enjoy it now.

We had venison pie. Leftovers from Sunday when I made a big stew in my slow cooker.
There is a man who has a stall at our town market and sells a bag of diced venison for £4.50. We got 5 adult portions out of it. Delicious.

Sorry, forgot the why, easy dinner as I do voluntary work on Mondays, leftover salady bits too.

PS all your meals sound delicious!

Chicken and chorizo with rice and onions and mushrooms, had to use left over chicken from roast dinner on Saturday. It was delicious!

We have the main meal of the day at lunchtime. Todayhas been aphysically active day for me, cleaning this morning and off to B& this afternoon for bags f gravel for our new outdoor eating area. I was knackered by supper time. So we had a plateful of Indan style nibbles from Iceland, heated through in the oven. followed by fresh fruit.

Redcar Mon 27-Apr-26 19:24:25

A ready made salmon en croute from Charlie Bighams (I think) and asparagus because it needed to be used up!

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 27-Apr-26 19:21:58

Cumberland sausages with onion gravy, mash and sprouts (because they’re not just for Christmas).

Tizliz Mon 27-Apr-26 19:14:28

Home made burgers and asparagus - the asparagus was the main ingredient but needed using up.

Aldom Mon 27-Apr-26 19:12:32

I've been busy planting in my new garden. Didn't feel like cooking.
So for supper I had a strange, but delicious combination.
Large, juicy prawns on a dressed salad and smothered in a Marie Rose sauce. With Albert Bartlett chips on the side. Oh and a glass of chilled Chardonnay. Sainsbury's Fudge Yogurt to follow. smile
