What are you having for lunch/dinner? (Part 1)

We are having Chicken Curry and Rice today.

Cooking now are my roasties, tats, sweet tats and parsnips. Cauli cheese next to them in the oven. Broc and carrots in saucepan. These will accompany roast beef (processed slices, admittedly, cheaper), and yorkies.

just had my dinner, I have a steamer so I cooked cabbage, cauli, broccoli potatoes and put a gammon steak on top so it all cooked on one gas burner, was delish with added mustard to top it off

Just had Bangers and Mash.

Yesterday in Tesco I picked up a little plastic bucket thingy which held about 40 cooked cocktail sausages and was reduced to 25p. Original intention was to give to son to nibble whilst he played his computer games. But he suggested I bung 'em in a toad in the hole. So that’s tonight’s dinner, with creamed spuds, sprouts, carrots and onion gravy.

Oh and talking of gravy, you know those times whe. You grill lamb chops so there are no meat juices to make a lamb gravy? And furthermore no one makes lamb ā€˜granules’? Well a few weeks ago I spotted in Tesco (shelf with cubes etc) a pkt of three little pots of what looked like those stock pot thingies, but for lamb. So grabbed a pack thinking would come in handy.

Well the other night we had lamb chops, grilled, and remembered those stock pots so decided to try them out. Well! they are not actually stock pots. It looks like marmite or similar. A thick dark, very lamb smelling goo. Simply add to cold water, bring to the boil. Let me just say it actually produces a quite tasty gravy. But, must warn, it is both very dark, and very thick. I actually added lots more veggie water, and a dollop of milk to lighten. For the price though it works quite well

hot chicken salad which is chicken strips coated in a hot sauce and mixed into salad, was yummy!

Oh wow, there were actually 60 teeny sausages in the tub (original price £3), but as son had actually had a pick there were a few less, but not many, so the toad in the hole was choc a block with them, came out quite lovely too

Today we are having Roast Gammon, Roast Potatoes, Baked Onion, Stuffing, French Beans, Swede and Gravy.

Cauliflower cheese for me and salmon soup with home made bread for meat eater.

We have just eaten, Pork Chops marinated in spices, Home cooked Chips, Mushrooms and Beans.

Probably something from the freezer…I have a chicken meal reduced in price.

We had Fish & Chips from the Chip Shop today.

Just finished tea. Roast Pork with crackling, baked onion gravy & Apple sauce, Roast potatoes, pumpkin,carrots, sweet potato and beans.
Then a light dessert of home made vanilla ice cream with real chocolate swirls.

Blimey, looked at the time of your post and thought you were having a roast pork dinner for elevenses! :shock:

Then I realised you were t’other side of t’world! :smiley:

Got a pork chop for my meat eater and doing that with roast veggies - he has suddenly decided he will eat cauliflower but only if it’s roasted !
My niece made this yesterday http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1415655/tofu-and-spinach-cannelloni and saved some for me today so will be having that myself.

We got a lovely leg of lamb for today @ ALDI on Friday.

Really looking forward to it too, and it was under £10 - just!
