What's everyone having for dinner?

That looks delicious Grandma
Did you use filo pastry for bottom and sides as well as the top?

We had venison steaks (whoopsies from Waitrose) with gravy made from pan juices and red currant sauce, horseradish mash, sprouts from the garden and carrots. Yummy! Too full for anything else.

Well, very ordinary here; came back from DD's, everything in freezer, so had fried egg, chips and beans, easy, quick and delicious! Just simple comfort food and ok once in a while.

Oh suziewoozie you are entitled to your opinion.

Strange that I wasn't able to quote your post of 19.26.

I found it rather sarcastic, most unlike you.

BlueSapphire that’s made me peckish and we only ate two hours ago!!

NO! fried eggs and beans should never be on the same plate!

Our butcher does lovely pork steaks with stuffing in the middle so DH cooked two of them in gravy in the oven to go with the roast potatoes, carrots and cabbage.
We were too full for pudding!

Now, Soupy that sounds like a good idea!

Yes, the tin was lined with filo sheets, buttered and covering the sides and bottom and overhanging the tin. The filling was put in and then filo sheets were put over the top and the rough edges pulled up and crumpled and brushed with butter. It looked a bit like a very big Greek baklava (but without the honey) but was absolutely delicious.

Always happy any time to let you have the recipe. Lots of the prep can be done sitting down (it's been a weekend of sitting down for me!!) and I'm sure your GD wouldn't find it at all ambitious.

Sometimes Blue Sapphire that's just what's needed. When you're hungry but not in the mood to think what for.....that sort of comfort food is perfect, I think.

Roast pork with crackling. Boiled and roast potatoes, roasted carrots and parsnips, butter beans tossed in butter. Home made Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
Trifle after.

Tonight will be baked salmon, roasted Mediterranean vegetables and cous cous.
I’d rather be having your roast pork (from last night) Coolgran, only without trifle to follow. I prefer just fruit set in jelly.

Tonight, I am making meat and potato pie (using 'foraged' potatoes), with cauliflower and home-grown brussels sprouts.
When I was a child, it was probably my favourite meal, but nowadays it is a rare treat that I look on as an autumn/winter comfort food - and very economical too

Beef stew with romanesco and green beans

we very rarely have dinner these days. We used to have to eat late, too late, because of OH's job- so now we have a late proper lunch, then soup and simple stuff in the evening, with a yogurt- half fruit and half plain. Much better for your health, work calories off working in garden or walking, etc, sleep better too. Very lazy this lunchtime and had bacon wrapped chipolatas (yes... I know ;) ) with small portion of pasta and green beans.

Sausage, potato and cheese thing!! It's really nice - honest!

It also has onions, tomatoes (and today mushrooms and broccoli) and is topped with toasted pine nuts. It's really easy to make and real comfort food.

Hake fillets, pan-fried with butter & capers.

I’m trying out Nigella’s Bhorta recipe from t’other night.

This to be followed by carrot cake (un-iced) with vanilla ice cream and some salted caramel sauce which I’ve just made for the first time - Jamie recipe and it’s very moreish, we actually tussled over licking the pan!

Pasta with a bolognese sauce, made by the OH.

I've just shoved a chicken casserole in the oven to cook slowly. Chicken filets browned with onions, garlic, green peppers and some flour to thicken, added potatoes and carrots, covered with stock and seasoned with mild chilli and ginger. I love it when the meal is contained in one pot. I may do some green beans as an accompaniment, but on the other hand may not bother.

Mushroom and bacon Alfredo

Lancashire hotpot with broccoli, peas and Brussels sprouts. I'll probably have melon and grapes later if I'm still hungry.

Vegetarian Hoisin Duck pancakes with watercress and corn on the cob with parmesan and chilli flakes

Bangers and mash here

Do you retired people still stick to dinner rather than lunch?

What time do you eat your dinner?
