The dinner thread

We have two thirds of feck all in that isn't stollen/mince pies/chocolate/fancy biscuit related. and i've been waaaaay too busy today swimming/duck feeding/old school friend meeting to go to the supermarket

so i'm angling for a takeaway or being taken out ?

Pasta with tomatoes, chorizo and peppers.

Steak and guinness casserole that's been in the slow cooker all day and smells soooooooo good ?

I'm going for a 10 mile run after work (?) so will only get home at about 8, then have to bath and do the washing up, and I want to watch masterchef ? so it'll be five-a-day pasta bake for us I think.

A mahoosive veggie stir-fry with a small portion of rice on the side. Healthy eating starts here.

My new me hasn't quite got her head round exercise yet ?

I'm very excited for Masterchef ?

The slow cooked casserole sounds great x

Well I've got left over roast chicken, plus some home made stock, so I was going to do a chicken risotto. But I've just realised I have no cream or parmesan, and nothing else much interesting to add to it.

So now I need another idea to do with left over chicken - any ideas? (p.s. am gluten-free, so nothing bread/pastry related, although I do have g.f pasta)

ta!

?

are you mad, woman? it's cold. and icy. and a long long way...

Tell me something I don't know, Keef. And I've got a sore hip and a sore foot and a sore throat. Do. Not. Want.

I'm about to cook a cottage pie with nice fresh mince chunky carrots and lashings of Worcester sauce. I'll top it off with buttery mash because I did 15 minutes Aerobic on my Wii fit earlier. That sounds a bit crap next to Sophie M's run but small steps and all that ?

Jacket potato with beans and cheese. It was meant to be niece-friendly but now she's staying elsewhere, again [quietly seething]

We're having sketty bollocknaise and home made garlic bread, it was going to be cottage pie until I realised I had no potatoes.

Sophie, running is no good for you, cars are the way forward.

I'm doing a weight watchers recipe for chicken kashmiri and rice, I know it will be terrible!

In contrast to HH, I was thinking of doing spag bol as I need to do something with mince. However, I have remembered there are some new potatoes in the fridge, so I guess I could use them for a cottage pie.

And thanks for the reminder about masterchef Sophie ?

I am SO excited about masterchef.

we are having pasta with fresh pesto, topped with a mushroom/red pepper/ red onion creation. and extra parmesan.

We had Jamie's turkey and sweet leek pie. It was lovely.

Oooh masterchef yeay - something interestng on tv for a change!!!

Ive just had king prawn stir fry and noodles (the prawns were on offer at half price, the stir fry was reduced and the noodles were 3 for 2 with other bits of stir fry for rest of week - so bargainous dinner)

We've just had spaghetti carbonara which was yummy, really looking forward to Masterchef here too?

We have had Jamie's Lamb and Red Wine Stew with dumplings. Delicious!!!

Beef stir-fry for me, although I wasn't hungry enough to finish it.

Spag bol for tom

The casserole was delish and really really cheap too ?

Lentil and egg curry with quinoa and naan breads - just need OH and BIL to get home so I can eat it!

Cottage pie here with steamed brocolli on the side. Just about to dish up now H is in from his bike.

I made sweet potato and butternut squash curry. It was yummy.

You are so right! That was horrendous - I gave up and only did 6km. I think I've got a bit of a temperature, and I felt grimity grim - couldn't get warm and felt like my knees were tied together ? On the plus side, I made it back for MC.

I had two bowls of muesli, then ham, jacket and salad. Then another bowl of muesli. I'm still hungry!

I had The Best Sirloin Steak In The World with ketchup and mustard (yes, I'm a heathen but I don't care!) peas and chips.

I was supposed to be having spaghetti & meatballs but the butcher didn't have any pork sausage meat or any mince and the sirloin looked soooo good...

Root veg curry, was really nice
