We had eggs baked in avocados on a base of beluga lentils and leeks

Fillet steak, jacket potatoes, green salad, baguette, and various pudding choices. Our daughters and their families.

Today there’s a barbecue at the rugby match or will get Chinese takeaway later on.

A fresh ready-meal lasagne that is one day past its sell by date.
With a side salad.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 19-Aug-22 13:27:57

Home cooked fish and chips.

LadyGracie Fri 19-Aug-22 13:05:43

Vegetable curry, loads of garden vegetables, no rice.

Witzend Fri 19-Aug-22 11:09:28

Roast chicken tonight, new potatoes, fresh French beans and either peas or carrots. Possibly both. Plus of course plenty of proper gravy.

Baggs Thu 18-Aug-22 17:42:45

Oh! And some pork bone marrow from another meal (kept and frozen till its moment came).

Baggs Thu 18-Aug-22 17:40:27

White fish with beluga dal to which latter was added chopped onion plus odd bits of chopped lettuce, chopped red bell pepper, turmeric, ground cumin, cinnamon, ground cloves, garam masala, ground ginger, ground bay leaves, ground star anise, ground cardamom, ground coriander seed, ground celery seed, paprika, spinach powder, and roasted ground pumpkin seeds.

Went out for lunch- so a couple of pieces of toast and a yogurt (half fruit, half plain Greek).

PollyDolly Thu 18-Aug-22 17:23:00

Pan fried sea bass. cooked in lemon butter with home grown potatoes and our own peas

Chicken stir fry, fry the strips of chicken, throw it all in the pan and add the chilli sauce. With a bottle of something.
Simples.

I made up a Korean marinade for chicken wings earlier will bake them and serve with basmati rice and stir fry veg.

Witzend Thu 18-Aug-22 16:41:18

It was going to be roast chicken, but that’s got plenty of use-by time left, and I feel like a Thai Green prawn curry instead - I have a pack of the Asda’s tiddly SmartPrice prawns which usually go in a stir fry - and for once I’ve got everything else it needs.

Going out for a meal - but weather looks bad so dont know whether friends will cancel - I’m ok if they do

karmalady Thu 18-Aug-22 15:07:38

lucky for some.

I had maintenance to do today so just bits and bobs, whatever I can find that takes minutes to prep. I am shattered. If I don`t cobble a meal, then I don`t eat. There is always a bowl of cereal and an apple

MiniMoon Thu 18-Aug-22 15:03:32

Well, today's dinner is pork in mushroom, cream and wine sauce with creamed potatoes carrots and brussels sprouts.
Later I will be making a bramble and apple pie for tea.

HowVeryDareYou Thu 18-Aug-22 14:46:47

My husband's going to have rump steak, chips and salad. I'll have vegetable quiche and salad

PoppyFlower Thu 18-Aug-22 13:48:12

Dinner will be beetroot and goats cheese risotto. Not made it in years but sister gave me some unwanted beetroot yesterday so....!

Jaxjacky Thu 18-Aug-22 13:40:15

Frittata with courgette, sweet potato, onion, leftover gammon and a sprinkling of Parmesan.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 18-Aug-22 12:59:49

We have teenage GSs here for dinner, so it will be a full on meat feast for them and DH BBQ ribs and chilli chicken wings, for me salad with something (yet to be decided)

Whitewavemark2 Thu 18-Aug-22 12:17:19

Macaroni cheese, salad

henetha Thu 18-Aug-22 09:46:58

I'm running my freezer down at the moment so hope I can find something lurking at the back for dinner later. I seem to have lots of fish cakes for some reason, they must have been on special offer! And old potato croquettes and hash browns.

MrsKen33 Thu 18-Aug-22 09:44:07

Tonight , homemade Bolognaise and spelt spaghetti. Haven’t had that before but the pea one was fine .

BigBertha1 Wed 17-Aug-22 22:21:26

Cottage pie...homemade

NanKate Wed 17-Aug-22 22:15:38

Stuffed mushrooms, roasted veg and a jacket potato, followed by coffee mousse and raspberries. DH finished off the tiramisu. It’s our one veggie meal of the week.
