Yesterday lunch, a steak and ale pie with home made crinkle cut chips.
Yesterday evening, home made bo bun. Really tasty.

[karma67]

mmm crinkle cut chips! there is something about the taste of them that straight cut just doesn't have.

[CageyH]

I totally agree.

[walpurgis]

Hmm. Getting peckish. Thoughts are turning to food. What will it be, something cheap & cheerful or fancier. Wouldn't mind cheese on toast with baked beans actually, but might go for an omelette. Pondering! :hmm:

[CageyH]

Home made Pizza tonight. Will be cooked on a pizza stone in the BBQ. :cool:

[struth]

a cheesey beano that is.... quite like it myself, but usually add a bit of chilli sauce to beans:eek:

dunno what Im having if anything... had fish n chips for lunch home made just half a dozen goose fat chips yum

[walpurgis]

I add tomato puree, butter and pepper to the beans.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea..................Mmm, a bit (or lot) of grated crumbly Lancashire plus strong Cheddar on toast, all melted down and bubbling sounds appealing.

In the end I went for cheese omelette topped with sliced baby plum tomatoes plus more cheese on those and finished under the grill. With this I had Tesco mixed beans in tomato (which are nicer than the Heinz ones). Lovely!

Been pondering what to eat for the last hour or so. Not desperately hungry, but if I'm going to have something I'd better do it soon. Think I'll have a rummage in the kitchen. :)

Raided the freezer and decided on chicken pie, mixed veg (brocolli/peas/sweetcorn) and wholegrain rice. I'll bung a bit of gravy on too! :)

Can't be bothered to make something from scratch today, although I often do.

[spendorman]

Had these tonight in a seeded bun, with green salad, coleslaw etc. Much better than expected.

Says on the back of the pack 99% beef. Lidl's own.

No, tuna. I find anchovies too salty for my taste. To reduce the saltiness I would usually soak them in milk for a least an hour, but had neither the anchovies nor the time tonight.

Big baked spud from neighbour's allotment. Loads of grated Tesco 'Seriously Strong' Cheddar (lovely flavour) and mixed beans in tomato, plus fried chestnut mushrooms. Should be very tasty! Doing five, the whole mob are having one each. I'm having the largest! :)

[Ian7633]

Roast gammon, roast potatoes, peas, carrots and broccoli. Mia the cat had Felix chicken in jelly with turkey and rice biscuits

Sunday night is takeaway night so I had a lamb balti, mushroom rice and a naan. Mia the cat had Felix beef with carrots in jelly and as a treat a tuna and shrimp cat soup later.

[struth]

Spicy meatballs and penne pasta, followed by a slice of hot dumpling(from neighbour) and light longlife cream substitute(which is rather good)

[walpurgis]

Chicken, spaghetti and vegetable bake.

[Roy S]

Was going to have roast chicken but left it too late to cook it tonight so guess I'll just have to have a takeaway :rolleyes:

[spendorman]

That's the deluxe version.

Just home made veg soup tonight, had to use up some vegetables.

[Audio Al]

Sweet potato , Colly, carrots, Broccoli , Tuna in tomato sauce :)

Ham and tomato sandwich, tinned pears and custard. Mia had Felix chicken with kidney in jelly and is now sleeping under a speaker.

20 min ago I was in Morrissons, was going to buy a cauliflower to do cauli cheese, didn't because I felt lazy. Bought some spicy bean and chicken soup, just had that, not bad.

[Marco]

Some half-baked fried chicken (home-made)...

Scrumptious.....With fresh corn on the cob and home-made coleslaw, washed down with a couple of ice-cold Buds! :cool:

That's pretty similar to what I had for breakfast, forgot to mention the brown sauce this morning, Asda's Smart Price brown sauce

I've just had a chicken, prawn and chorizo paella, with french beans and brocolli.

Love paella. Did you make it yourself? :)

Yes - it's easy to make.

[Marco]

Indeed, nice one... I was just testing to see if you were filling yourself up with some unspeakable supermarket 'ready-meal' version of such! ;)

As far as I'm concerned, paella is the same as risotto but with sea food. Might be wrong, but that's how I make it.

[Marco]

As long as you use proper paella rice, not risotto (Arborio) rice, which is quite different ;)

Hope that it went well and that you recover quickly, was that keyhole surgery or other?

If you had a full anaesthetic did they tell you to drink plenty of water?

[tapid]

Thanks Alex. Plenty of fruit and veg they say because of possible constipation ?. It was a general one but only an hour long
so maybe just enough to knock me out, certainly not drowsy on awakening. Good to get done though.Feel good. cheers

I drank quite a bit of water, but not enough! Because next day, it was not nice straining on the toilet, quite worrying at the time, were the stitches going to burst!

Yes, constipation, I would drink plenty of water too. I didn't drink enough. Straining on the toilet was worrying.

Also the day I returned home from hospital, could not get comfortable in any chair, ended sitting in my old Volvo, very comfortable seat in there!

[tapid]

Thanks for the advice mate!

[Marco]

About to have this, which Del's just made for tonight's dinner, having only had a sandwich for lunch:

Recipe here, for those who may interested in making it: http://www.ginger-jar-food.com/recipes/pork-chops-cider-mustard/

Along with the thin green beans, we're having some fresh carrot batons and wild rice. Vino will be a rather lovely (chilled) Comte de Provence:

Don't know what it's called in Italian but we are having Mussels cooked in tomato/garlic sauce with Linguini. We often have this dish, which is really good value because a bag of live mussels is only around £3.50.

cozze summat i guess... not into seafood at all alas. fish is as far as i go

Linguini al sugo di cozze :)

Very nice, Dave, although traditionally it'd be served with clams, not mussels.
