TONIGHT`S DINNER

Glad you enjoyed it Sparky. I have the Korma one in my cupboard for when I get the urge for a curry.

Glad you enjoyed it sparky

We had lamb steaks with thyme, anchovies and martini rosata! Delicious!

Kitty and Lapwing have just tried The Spice Tailor and Kitty thank you so much for the tip - delicious tried the coconut one and served it with coconut rice and it hit the spot. Yes Lapwing good old Tesco`s came up with the goods - just wanted to let you know I had followed through

Merlotgran that`s the sort of cooking I love and think I`m pretty good at concocting something along the same lines.
Tonight it was baked potatoes with for himself chopped ham and tomato salsa and me almost the same except instead of the tomato salsa delicious cool sour cream (from M&S`s Mexican selection) it was yummy

It will be a very light supper for me as I am going to our WI Christmas Tea today and we usually do ourselves proud.

Tonight we'll be having what the family like to call, Mum's Modge Up.

Leftovers turned into a kind of savoury bake with cheese on top. Delicious!!

Just made a large quiche and a bowl of potato salad. DS is driving down tonight to go to a football match with DH, and it's usually a case of 'what can I eat in the car because we have to go now!' I put some in a picnic box for him.

It`s a small world glammanana but did your duck breasts spatter everywhere over the cooker mine did - however I will say they tasted delicious - I made some roasties and our dessert was M&S trifle first time I`d tried it and it was good - possibly more than good.

Home made steak and kidney pud, carrots and spring greens, followed by two squares of chocolate and an apple.

Moussaka and pears and toffee sauce

sparkygran we are having the same I was in Liverpool yesterday and on my way to our favourite butchers when I thought I'll see if "Dine In" is on offer and picked up the Duck Breasts with new pots and apple pie,will spread it out a wee bit with some roasties.

Duck breasts with plumb sauce (courtesy of M&S`s "£10 dine in for 2 - or whatever its called) with roast spuds and probably peas. Haven`t tasted duck for yonks so looking forward to tonight.

Oh dear that sounds hairy NAN, hope your little one"s make a speedy recovery, it is so worrying when they are poorly, quite breaks the heart !

Enjoy your mini-break Tuesday and come back refreshed and re-vitalised.

You are not GOING-ON at all.

Nonu my weekend was even more chaotic than I had expected as the little one had a temperature and was sick in the night and after breakfast. Spent a lot of time clearing up and we smell of Dettol now.

We were going out to lunch today but decided against it as little one too under the weather. I had nothing in as we are going away on Tuesday for a few days. So I had to hot foot it down to Waitrose to get in lunch for 5.

They have all gone home now and after a mass clear up we are having a much needed cuppa.

Next weekend we are in total charge of the two boys whilst their parents have a weekend break. Do hope the little one has recovered and the big one's ear infection has gone.

Sorry to go on about it all but GN is great therapy for harassed grandparents.

It will be a very simple supper tonight too knackered to do much.

GLAM , I have heard about Aldi"s steak , reputed to be really excellent

Mind I am a huge fan of them so they can"t do anything wrong in my eyes.

We enjoyed DD"s curry and we didn't go to bed till 1am -- Naughty or what !!

nan , I am sure they will, you will have earned yourself some Brownie points !

I think I will be "putoring" most the day as it is really awful ,weatherwise here

Saturday is my day off, always something quick and simple and usually unhealthy ! eaten in front the TV.
Shop bought pizza tonight.

jings hoping you feel brighter soon nothing worse that a rotten cold.

Nonu As you know we are curry lovers also and usually have one Saturday night but this week giving it a miss as I was tempted by Aldi's rump steaks to-day and their potato au gratin so an easy peasy meal to-night for us.

It could be chaotic at supper as DS DinL and the two GSs are on a quick over night stop over.

I am cooking fish fingers and chips for eldest GS
Chicken and Chips for little GS as he is allergic to fish and many other things.

The 4 of us were going to have a relaxed evening having a Tailor Made Coconut Curry, followed by apple pie, HOWEVER, we have been asked to babysit so DS and DinL can go to the cinema, so I will have to cook their curry early and then cook our curry after the children are in bed.

I will do it because I love them all. I just hope they remember this when I am really old and decrepit.

I loved mackerel when I had just caught them an hour before we cooked them! Not so keen inland...

We are having a home cooked curry , made by DD.

Himself has gone to Footie , so hope he has a win , as he will enjoy it even more !!

Steak and mushroom pie with puff pastry. Too much work really, even with supermarket pastry. My DH will just eat it without comment.

Aw jings poor you. Probably don't feel like eating never mind cooking the blooming stuff. Can DH not just open something in a packet and let you stay in bed?

Crayfish salad here tonight. I could happily live on sea food.

Not many people like mackerel JollyG I love it and I'm going to try your poaching method. My mother used to poach haddock in milk. It was revolting!

Sorry to hear of your cold jing hope today is the worst day and that you feel better tomorrow.

I'm having fish pie, and fruit salad and yogurt left over.

Jings Hope your cold is better soon and the magic works with the chops .
I am salivating reading about all the scrummy dinners. I am having half a squash stuffed with peppers, mushrooms, tomato and garlic as I am on the 2 part of the 2:5.
