What's for T tonight

[Jasmine]

I went shopping this morning so we've got a choice!
I think I'm going with sausages, chips and peas and crusty bread!

[Auricula]

Cheese topped baps with cheese and pickled onions inside. OH is having sausages, rice, peas and corn

[Jilly]

We had Spag Bol on Saturday & there's quite a bit of Bol left  . So going to add some more tomatoes & mushrooms to that & just do some more Spaghetti 

[Chuckles]

egg, chips, baked beans and bread and butter, yum. I ate far to much and am still fit to burst even after a longish walk

[chickengirl]

I tried out pea and bacon risotto which was met with pleas for seconds (even from my two boys!!!) Not an everyday occurrence so I am very chuffed

[Chuckles]

We like risotto chickengirl there are so many variations you can do. Fish and chips for us last night as we were in town

[Jasmine]

I wish my 2 would eat peas chickengirl - you'd think they were poisonous in this house!

We've got prawn fajitas tonight!

[chickengirl]

Oooh my boys love fish Chuckles and Jasmine, especially shellfish. They would gobble those dinners up in a second! Tonight I think I am going to make a sweet and sour chicken dish which I saw on the BBC Good Food website. We are also going to make some bread today which the boys are looking forward to.

[Jasmine]

Prawn fajitas for tea tonight. I couldn't do them yesterday so we had burgers instead - I'd forgotten to defrost some chicken for LT's fajitas - he can't eat prawns.

[Auricula]

We stopped off in Falmouth on our way home last night and had a meal. We sat outside, overlooking the water. OH had sirloin steak and I had pizza
No dinner tonight as we have friends for lunch. They're having chicken strips in ginger,lime and pepper sauce, I'm having plain fish. Both from M & S 

[Jasmine]

I like the sound of the chicken Auricula!

[Jilly]

I do too, unfortunately our M&S is in the wrong direction for picking things up on the way home from work, actually that may not be a bad thing  .

We made a big cottage pie last night, so we've got the rest of that tonight, with carrots, green beans & broccoli.

I think that is probably a very good thing Jilly!

I treated us to lunch from M&S and even BT commented on the cost of  few sandwiches and he thinks money just pops out of the hole in the wall in a continuous stream!

[Auricula]

What made you think that my chicken dish was from M & S eh Jilly?? and not a product of my own fair brain / hand?? Actually, you would have been correct but it was very well received and I did add some extra sauce ( Moroccan spiced sauce..... also from you know where)

[isabella]

I am making the most of our veggies now - I made cheese and onion pastries with one of the biggest onions and some soup with a quarter of a football round courgette and some tomatoes and an onion
The other day I made a Blueberry cake with cream cheese topping  and a vggie Moussaka with a couple of the aubergines,courgettes and tomatoes
 

[Auricula]

My friend brought me squillions of her home grown tomatoes, some runner beans and courgettes. As OH hates tomatoes and courgettes and we don't eat much cooked veg in the summer I fear they will all end up on the compost heap ( I thanked her profusely though )

You dobbed yourself in Auricula!

[Jasmine]

That all looks scrummy Pam!

[Auricula]

me and my big mouth

[Jasmine]

You need to be more economical with the truth!

[Jilly]

isabella I'm still trying to stick to my diet, I've just had dinner & I'm hungry again now   the blueberry cake looks absolutely wonderful.

Auricula do you remember the advert from the 70's with the woman having a dinner party & throwing all the boxes in the bin 'oh I made it all myself '   I think it was for vesta curry though which was hardly something you'd want to admit to 

Could you not add all that veg to the next curry you make? I sometimes make curries that consist almost entirely of courgettes & tomatoes.  

[chickengirl]

Auricula, that sounds very tasty indeed! Isabella, you are lucky that you live so far away as I would have to come and kidnap you - those dishes look divine. I would very much love to walk in and have somebody cook like that for me. Well done!!

[Auricula]

That's a good idea Jilly I make 2 different curries anyway for OH and me so that might be a solution.
Yes, I do remember the ads I lived on Vesta curries when I was a student, those and tinned vegetable soup with cream crackers. No money, no interest in food... and...no weight I weighed less than 8stone when I got married

[Chuckles]

Lamb chops and all the trimmings last night including that traditional accompanyment mint sauce

Fresh air for T tonight as I'm still full from lunch with a friend

[Auricula]

Pasta with sauce and chicken for OH. Pasta with no sauce ( just a drizzle of olive oil to stop it sticking ) and mushrooms for me

[Jasmine]

We had pizza for tea and pineapple for pudding!
I'm trying to finish things off!

[Jilly]

Eggs (from my friend's hens) bacon & chips tonight.

[Auricula]

Tonight we have.. plaice mornay, parmentier potatoes, runner beans and mushrooms, followed by profiteroles and ice cream.............proper little Delia Smith , me

[Jasmine]

Did M&S put your Delia Smith cooking in nice boxes for you?

We've got meat ball pasta and/or fish and chips - those are the last supper and the penultimate supper but I'm not sure what order we're having them in yet!
