Tonight we had Chicken Kiev with Lyonnaise potatoes. I have to admit the CK was not made by me but a local butcher whose ready meals are really, really good but I did make the Lyonnaise potatoes myself and I know I shouldn`t blow my own trumpet but it was a good meal

I love egg and chips with ketchup but the chips have to be home made frozen ones have no taste i think

glammanana Wed 18-Jun-14 20:13:45

Chips & egg for tea to-night - love it.grin

Marmite fig yoghurt sounds lovely who makes it please ?

I fancy coffee yoghurt but have never seen it.

Delicious hmm fish pie made by M&S (but I don't suppose it was as nice as yours, Marmight). It was a Count on Us one but we also had peas and leftover cauliflower cheese which meant the calorie counting got a bit lost. DH had a M&S cottage pie. (We were worn out from shopping). No wine tonight!

Marmight Wed 18-Jun-14 20:00:00

Delicious fish pie made by DD but not enough as SiL and his son had it too so I have had a couple of fig yoghurts and am still hungry. May have to search out the chocolate biccies I bought this afternoon or maybe a bowl of cereal or perhaps another glass of wine hmm

I used to love eating a Mars Bar PapaO but gone are the days of indulgence and it not showing on my posterior. I do occasionally eat a small pack of Maltesers - yummy.

I'd much prefer a large ice-cold Schweppes tonic water with a generous measure of gin (or two), NK, but sadly diabetes etc. rules that out these days, hence the sugar-free substitute.

NanKate Wed 18-Jun-14 19:29:07

Sugar free tonic water sounds awful Papaoscar hope you have hidden it under some alcohol. grin

papaoscar Wed 18-Jun-14 19:22:37

Thinly-sliced pig's liver, smoky bacon, gravy, tiny new potatoes, garden peas, followed by fresh cherries. Washed down by a cold sugar-free tonic water.

A corned beef hash it's a Delia/ Waitrose recipe and it is a real store cupboard standby.

NanKate Wed 18-Jun-14 19:17:29

BeeWitch could you send round your hubby to cook us a couple of poached eggs, they sound yummy ?

All the female side of our family are flat chested and my dear old mum used to say that we only had a couple of poached eggs between us !

Mamie Wed 18-Jun-14 19:15:07

Salade niçoise. Lots of ingredients from the garden including the first globe artichoke of the season. Followed by our own strawberries.

whitewave Wed 18-Jun-14 19:10:02

Just finished aubergine and tomato lasagna - a GH recipe - not one the best I have tried

BeeWitch Wed 18-Jun-14 19:07:33

Can't really be bothered this evening - so possibly poached eggs on toast. White bread. My husband makes the best poached eggs. Mine you could bounce around the kitchen grin while his are gorgeous, with the whites nicely set and the middle lovely and runny......

Reprise of last night's chili. Lost a pound at the Fat Club weigh in - some refer to it as Slimming World but why pretend - so looking forward to a nice glass of red wine tonight.

Prawn risotto tonight. I just cleared out my freezer and discovered some chubby prawns I'd forgotten I bought. There's some BBQ ribs in there, too. Think I'd better lay off the shopping whilst I run stocks down.

GillT57 Wed 18-Jun-14 11:47:46

A mezze plate of salami, ham, hummus, tzaziki, olices, sund dried tomatoes and a chunk of olive bread. DD was out all day so this was just a case of opening a few packets and spooning/presenting in an interesting manner. grin

Creamy chicken curry (a Madhur Jaffrey recipe) from the freezer with a Sainsbury's pilau rice.

My freezer is full to bursting so we are eating our way through it! grin

Charleygirl Tue 17-Jun-14 22:29:38

I had Sainsburys pork ribs with celery, sweetcorn, potao croquettes and the meal was delicious. There will be enough for tomorrow evening also.

NanKate Tue 17-Jun-14 22:23:19

Thanks Kitty for the explanation.

I'm feeling peckish as my neighbour is cooking something yummy and it is 10.20 and the smell is drifting up to my bedroom.

Mishap Tue 17-Jun-14 22:21:43

Oh heavens - we had mackerel on toast. Grounds for divorce I guess. But he doesn't eat what I spend ages cooking anyway - just groans and looks pained. No wonder he is so very very skinny!

vegasmags Tue 17-Jun-14 22:11:49

Chili con carne with wild rice. Made 6 portions, ate one tonight, second is in the fridge for tomorrow and the other 4 are in the freezer. Then had strawberries and fromage frais. Its my Slimming World weigh in tomorrow, so hoping for a pound off.

HollyDaze Tue 17-Jun-14 21:33:47

You do make me chuckle rosequartz grin

rosequartz Tue 17-Jun-14 21:31:15

We were going to finish with strawberries, blueberries and icecream, but I have been on GN all evening.

Never too late for pudding.

HollyDaze Tue 17-Jun-14 21:29:21

Yum! No calories either.

grin We really do need a laugh smiley sometimes!

I had haddock, petit pois, little gem lettuce, tomatoes and coleslaw. Followed by fresh pineapple and jelly (trying to grow my nails).
