Chicken Kievs from the butcher, new-ish potatoes, asparagus (apologies for air miles) and peppercorn sauce. No dessert during the week.

We went out for lunch, an enormous Ploughman’s , or should I say ploughperson ?
Anyway just had a very small bowl of porridge with a sliced nectarine. DH wants nothing.

Indian takeway - Tandoori salmon, vegetable rice (and a glass of cider)

Pepper steak, rice, fruit salad.

Daughters pudding.

Some like meat, they'll be eating with us, not a vegan day sad

Home made chicken curry from the freezer, with rice and poppadums.

Lasagne
Trifle from the freezer
Apple cake made from windfalls

Wouldn't normally have 2 desserts but a friend dropping in and trifle won't stretch to 3.

Norah Sat 10-Sept-22 12:15:26

Mushroom Risotto, salad, bread. No proper pudding - may be biscuits and stewed fruit, not sure.

Fleurpepper Sat 10-Sept-22 12:19:12

Chicken curry with lots of vegetables, peppers, peas, chickpeas, onions and garlic (nowadays I use meat or chicken with as much or more, vegetables) and white rice and lemon pickle.

Thanks for reminding me, yes, poppodums too!

I'm not that interested in food. I just see it as fuel. Could be salad with coleslaw and jacket potato. Something that doesn't make much washing up.

Sorry I’ve highlighted the wrong quote there Norah it should have been Vintagejazz re trifle.

Chicken Rogan Josh, home-made samosas

AmberSpyglass Sat 10-Sept-22 17:48:46

We’re having steak and frites with lightly roasted broccoli and sous vide carrots along with a nice bottle of red wine we’ve been saving for a special occasion. No special occasion today, we just felt like it!

Norah Sat 10-Sept-22 18:02:36

We were having Mushroom Risotto, salad, bread. However we have daughters and grandchildren, last moment, they're bringing chicken and peas to go with Saturday tea.

Norah Tue 13-Sept-22 11:32:39

Freezer clean out vegetable stew, bread, salad, ice cream.

Pantglas2 Tue 13-Sept-22 11:37:26

Beef casserole in the slow cooker wafting through mi Casa at the moment will be served with garlic mashed potatoes, ? frozen peas and sweet corn. Pudding will be a cornetto for me and double chocolate magnum for MrPG ?
