Dinner thread

Probably my version of Sainsbury's dine in for £5: chicken en croute (80p off), mash (60p off), cabbage (only 60p) and tiramisu. I didn't like their dessert choices and then found the mains discounted on date reasons!

Beef curry

Chickpea and spinach curry

Cheesy peas

Rice

Oh I love Nan-faux (liking what you did there Sophie!) it's one of our favourite meals.

Not sure what we are having tonight, we're heading to Ikea, so will probably grab a takeaway on the way home. Fish & chips possibly.

Ham and cheese crepes with salad. Yummers

Both Motherships are coming for dinner, so I've done a huge bobotie which we'll have with broccoli and mange tout sauteed with sesame seeds and soy sauce. And we're having pudding! Yippee! A forest fruits roulade thing with clotted cream ice cream. And wine. Lots of wine.

Yum - I haven't made Bobotie for ages, must do soon.

Nan-faux ? We will be splashing out on the real thing tonight, 1/4 chicken, spicy rice & salad for me please, Extra Hot mmmmm

[aside] when you off to SA Sophie? I'm there in 3 weeks time too - YAY! [aside]

Goulash!

Meatballs, garlic bread and salad. Cant wait.

I leave on the 22nd ?

Hole - is this your speshul goulash, made without paprika or tomatoes? ?

Asda pizza - 'himself' had his monthly curry club at lunchtime so won't be particularily hungry I should think. Though apparently they weren't actually going for a curry today which slightly defeats the purpose..

We're making our own pizzas tonight. Something spicy for him, and mushroom & pancetta for me, yum.

Lasagne in the pub....with a glass of water. I'm on driving duty

I'm thinking lamb cutlets with mash and probably broccoli and green beans... or maybe pizza. Will see what H fancies when he gets home

? I have the appropriate ingredients this time round, and even remembered what it was called. Go me ?

Pizza - ham and pineapple for me and double pepperoni for himself washed down by probably too much wine but it's been a horrible week and I feel the need !

The plan was to have friends round for dinner and have slow cooked lamb shanks in red wine with lots of buttery mash and green veg, followed by little chocolate pots made by melting together about 250g dark choc, a little butter, 200ml double cream and some pureed cherries in kirsch, which I put in the freezer to set. They look delicious.

Sadly I came down with my 2 year old's D&V bug at lunchtime and have had to cancel ? Dinner now will be a slice of dry toast, if I feel up to it...

Loving Nan-faux ?

I have just put ours on. Smoked salmon and potato rosti, with steamed carrots and mange tout. Might go mad and have bananas and custard for pudding.

It wasn't anything to do with those out of date Kirsch cherries was it? ?

? I wonder?!

I'm off out to an Egyptian restaurant tonight, wohoo!

KN, I love cheesy peas!

I'm doing a roast chicken with roast pots, stuffing, veg and yorkshire puds.

And a coffee and walnut cake.

Mortgage advisor is coming round at 7pm and I wonder if I feed him he'll sort us out with more cash? ?

Mmm Nandos....

We were having corned beef has but I'm not hungry so H is having take away. I've not eaten an evening meal for 4 days now although I did have half a steak ciabatta sandwich ar lunchtime on wednesday. ?

PayDay Chinese ?

We were wasting too much money on takeaways, plus its obviously not that desirable an option heathwise, so we now limit ourselves and have a Chinese on the first Friday after payday.

Crispy Duck, salt & chili chicken wings, pork chow mein, beef in black bean and we always pick a new dish off the to try by picking a number at random off the menu! Yum....just got to get the kids in bed now....although I might get H to do the baths as I'm already on the Rose ?

We're having dominos with a bottle of bubbly. Oh and tempted to try those new cookies.

All sounds lovely people!

Love making nandos at home it still tastes just as good.

H is cooking tonight and we are having duck fillets marinated in ginger, soy, orange, honey and sesame seeds. With sticky rice and wok fried pak choi. Yummy and I cannot wait....

Ooo this thread is making me hungry. We're having BBQ chicken ciabattas or chicken with noodles and veg or pizza from Papa Johns. I am voting for the latter with wedges and garlic bread.

I was planning on doing a leek and blue cheese souffle and salad but now i'm not sure. i think i'd rather have chinese ?

Steak, chips and onion rings for me.

Although I had a huge ice-cream (Joe's, if anyone knows it) at around 3 and so am not at all hungry at the moment...

We had carbonara and then I had a Muller Rice and YMR Mk I had a yoghurt. I have a bottle for cava for later when the monsters are in bed ?

We had mussels in wine and cream sauce with crusty white bread - yum!

H is cooking in the kitchen and has just yelled that our chickpea curry will be ready in 20 minutes. Goodo!
