OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today? II

[rmcin626]

Home alone as the Mrs and kids are in Snowdonenia for a few days so made myself one of my favourites - Greek chicken Souvlaki kebab.

I had something very similar last weekend on our mini break

Wow that is impressive Robin, I could just eat that right now. You know what I always make when I'm cooking for myself? Beans on toast. And if I'm not feeling too lazy I might chuck a fried egg on top

Edit: just spotted that it's Alex's creation, not yours

Chicken and bacon pasta bake tonight, one of Sue’s favourites and enough leftover to freeze a couple of portions for busy nights.



Monday is a busy night so I always have to do something quick to get out the door. Last night we had the 1970’s - Chicken Kiev and veg.

Chicken and bacon work well together - Anita's mum used to do a lasagne made with chicken and bacon instead of beef mince, and very nice it was probably not dissimilar to your pasta bake.

Went out for lunch yesterday, which doesn't happen very often. It struck me how difficult it is to work towards '5 a day' when you're eating out. To score 2 I'd have needed to buy two side dishes with a combined cost almost the same as the main dish, since although all the mains came with a choice of potatoes/chips they just had a smidgeon of something green, and there was nothing on the dessert menu representing fruit.

It was the same when I was working, you could buy any kind of sandwich but there was barely a green vegetable or piece of fruit in sight.

Anyway I had fish and chips and it was smashing.

I agree, Pete, most restaurants are rubbish apart from a token gesture on their veg.

Plenty of veg for us tonight.



(With apologies to Barry as he’s not a fan of my hole, but nobody else has ever complained! )

I should add there was gravy which everyone else lashed over it, I’m still trying to be good so had mine “au naturale”.

[Barry]

I would have the "toad", you can have the "hole".

Oops - just noticed your post scriptum.

Chicken and bacon pasta bake.

Made this yesterday:

and I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out. The recipe was supposed to be for 4 people but IMO it is more like for 6 - 8 people. The quantity was so big I didn't have a large enough oven dish, so had to use my largest along with two smaller ones.

I ate it with broccoli and green beans.

An orange for desert, and all washed down with a nice little Médoc.
