TONIGHT`S DINNER

I`m whispering - tonight is another salad (Wimbledon`s on) but with lovely local new potatoes - said loudly

Roast chicken, stuffed baked potatoes and salad!

Bacon and fried egg sandwich. Should also have Branston pickle in it, but I've run out. Currently really can't be bothered to cook for just me, even though I have the time.

However will be doing salad Nicoise on Friday when Mr P comes home. He had never had it until last summer when I first made it for him. It's sometimes one of those forgotten salads, but is actually full of flavour and quite substantial.

I have my main meal at lunch time as DH works in the Co-op during the evening. Today I had easy lunch, fish and chips from the chippy with Dad and sister after his eye appt. (all well). Tonight it's a chicken and stuffing sandwich with a glass of red wine left over from yesterday's beef bourguingon.

Corned beef (a pack of 4 slices each) (We know how to live) microwave jacket potatos (only half a small one for me, and frozzed peas. With homemade damson chutney. Delicious. And nutritious.

You each have four slices of corned beef?

(Too fatty for me...)

Err! 'scuse me Madam! We are talking Waitrose corned beef hear you know. [stuck-up sniff]

18 grams of fat, and it's the only fat we've had all day. (you need some)

...and 28 grams of protein each.

And it was followed by raspberries and no-fat greek plain yogurt. [halo]

Oh, well, if it's Waitrose corned beef that's OK...

Had lunch out with WI so had lightish supper.

Toast, fig jam, a banana, small serving of rice pudding.

Also a few choc buttons

Ah fig jam NanKate you little rascal - dinner tonight Chez Sparkygran not worth a mention

Today it was gammom, pineapple, fried mushrooms and tomatoes(shop bought, none ready in the greenhouse yet), and chips. We then followed this with salted caramel and peanut ice cream, rather unusual but quite moreish.

I love seeing what everyone else is having for supper, far more interesting that my cold chicken leg, jacket spud, mixed hot veg.

AND ........ wait for it......

One and a half mini mince pies left over from Christmas with brandy dribbled in them and hot custard. DH pointed out it is only 6 months exactly until mince pies will abound again !!

Sparkygran I like being called 'a little rascal' !!!

This thread is as good as reading the menu in a good restaraunt, and no calories. Keep it up!

We had pork steaks, beaten out and coated in chopped sage, parmesan and breadcrumbs with very, very garlicky homemade oven chips and salad.

Tonight lamb ragu and pasta [from Nigella's Italian book]

fish n chips from the chippy with a glass of fizzy pop. sod the diet. oh and 2 slices of bread.

Tonight it`s real Cornish Pasties from the Real Cornish Pasty shop. I really must start cooking again Wimbledon as an excuse is wearing a bit thin even to me

We're having poached smoked haddock with a poached egg on top plus new potatoes and a few garden peas followed by raspberries and clotted cream (which needs using up).

Got the DGC tomorrow so it's pizzas and garlic bread and probably strawberries and icecream.

Chicken pieces baked in yoghurt, onion and saffron marinade. Red carmargue rice salad with avocado, toasted almonds, coriander and goji berries.

That sounds absolutely delicious, Mamie!

M&S fish pie (can't be bothered to cook tonight).
Raspberries from the garden with icecream.
