What's for dinner?

We had lemon drizzle too Merlotgran when we toasted the War Veterans at 3 o’clock, with a glass of chilled white wine ?

Tea about 6.30 pm will be grilled Chicken with mushroom and thyme cream sauce, green beans and creamed potatoes.

As it’s the start of the weekend a rhubarb gin and tonic will be in order ?

Have a good evening all gn’s.

Lemon Drizzle cake for tea so dinner will be a bit later. We don't normally eat anything in the afternoons.

I was going to do Spag Bol but at the last minute thought, being VE Day we should have something traditionally British so thankfully there was a lamb hotpot in the freezer that I made with the left overs from Easter Sunday lunch.

As I couldn't get out to buy DH a birthday present I ordered a gift which included chocolate.
Unfortunately, I didn't realise that it was very very dark chocolate which he doesn't like.

Looks like I will have to scoff it all.

Listen (or look even) this old laptop is jumping all over the place (more than I can do..grrrr) so, for whoever got CHOCOLATE, I'm deeply envious, OK?

Sorry, that should have been for Whitewave

Bloody hell, Riverwalk, you lucked out!all I got as a mistaken delivery was a ginormous, well,3.5kg, bag of tats. And I don't really eat potatoes

I don't think it will inspire you riverwalk but I had mashed potato, mashed carrot/swede and lightly cooked cabbage.

I'd made a puree of spinach and this, with a little Oxo gravy, was poured over the other veg.

It probably sounds revolting to people who eat proper meals but it was absolutely delicious.

Ooh, the pie looks delish!

Chantenay carrots are my favourite type

And chocolate left by my delivery man by mistake which could not be taken back (health reasons) ???. So free chocolate, tea, ginger beer, softener, crumpets, bread and eggs plus other stuff. How lucky is that?

Lucky indeed Whitewave !

Thanks Puzzler61 as mentioned, I do cheat a bit with the chicken and mushroom one, but usually turns out ok!

Cor Phoenix that pie looks delicious! And so professional .
I’m be proud if I could turn one out like that. Enjoy ?

Can’t be assed day today so cheese omelet and left over apple pie and cold custard.

Home made Fish soup for lunch (left over)

Porridge for breakfast

And chocolate left by my delivery man by mistake which could not be taken back (health reasons) ???. So free chocolate, tea, ginger beer, softener, crumpets, bread and eggs plus other stuff. How lucky is that?

Chantenay carrots are lovely, TerriBull great flavour!

Chilli, ginger and lime chicken breast fillets, courtesy of a Tesco delivery yesterday. Accompanied by roast potatoes, broccoli and Chantenay carrots, stumpy fat and small but the only ones available!

Local Butchers Sausages with Mash, steamed mixed veg out of the freezer, and rich onion gravy. The Sausages are very nice and meaty, I will definately buy some more on my next months meat order for the freezer. He does a very nice Huntsman' s Pie too!

Vegetables korma tonight but extra specially hot. DH cooked and is liberal with chilli. Bread and butter pudding c/o Gransnetters. It was delicious

Right then, as requested by Riverwalk !

A lot of Japanese dumplings - chicken and veg and just veg - 2 half used packets left in the freezer by a Singaporean niece who until recently was staying with us for half terms and exeat weekends.
It says to simmer for 3 1/2 mins so ?they’ll be v nice.
Shall do a big stir fry of various veggies to go with them.

Pot roast and gravy sandwich with carrots and onion on roasted garlic covered baguette ..

Will do, Riverwalk and thanks for the compliment!

(Confession, I do actually cheat a bit with this one, however my roast chicken pie is almost cheat free )

Phoenix that's a lovely looking pie! Pleases send a pic of it cooked and cut open

I don't make pies - in fact not sure if I ever have!

Last night was Chicken and Mushroom fricasee. Tonight is Sausage and Bean casserole. Both very tasty SlimmingWorld recipes.

Yes plenty Kitty but I want to go somewhere, sit down and be served!

Pork chops, oven chips and peas tonight.

I buy my meatballs from our local family butcher. Yum

We are having a sausage, chilli and mushroom pasta sauce with pasta and enough left to freeze.

Riverwalk are there no pubs or restaurants doing deliveries near you.

We have someone who trained at 2 Michelin * restaurants running a supper club delivery service.

They do a 'posh' night, a pie night and sunday lunch. And a few pubs in the village do pop up nights. One has had Italian, curry and fish and chip nights.

I love cooking but a break is good too, isnt it?

Chicken, bacon and mushroom pie, with tender stem broccoli.
