What are you having for dinner?

JMill are you in a hot country. Or are you all hardy?

Monday now, and ball room dancing tonight, so fish - it's fairly light. Salmon with leeks and brocolli and probably some mash.

No idea, I just come to the table when DH calls me.

carbqueen I took out some leek and potato soup from the freezer for lunch one day, but it turned out to be a box of stewed apple!
The labels fall off.

bangers and mash with onion gravy you could lay bricks with

A bowl of homemade granola, yoghurt and fruit, my default when I'm too tired to cook.

As I'm baby sitting all day it will be awaitrope pork joint, frozen creamed cabbages and new potatues roasted with sage and garlic!

We're having what we call mish-mash tonight; I've got some left-over bacon, boiled potatoes, a few mushrooms, half an onion so I'll make a frittata with it all and we'll have that with salad. And a nice glass of red wine, which is of course purely medicinal as DH has been told it'll help keep his macular degeneration from degenerating too quickly .....

Battered cod and oven chips all from the freezer

Cold meat from yesterday's roast and salad, stewed apple and custard.

Gulligranny, didn't know that red wine (or indeed any species of wine) was good for helping to combat progress of macular degeneration. Sadly, I suffer from this wretched affliction, but really dislike red wine. Has anyone been advised to eat chocolate to help slow down degeneration? Lol. Going to have liver and onions with tasty, thick gravy, carrots, button sprouts (frozen) and boiled potatoes for tea. No 'afters', but a giant mug of coffee to finish.

Chicken salad. It might have been grilled Ladybower rainbow trout but the b****r got away!

Oh, jinglbellsfrocks, have you remembered how the method? I have a large half swede reclining in the bottom of the fridge which I ought to use, or lose!

Thankyou Gulligranny and Worlass another sufferer here.I am going for my eye injection this evening so will console myself, while waiting for that needle to go in, that at least I have a glass of red to look forward to when I get home.

We're going to try the gluten-free chicken burgers that were new in Tesco last week, and then have the only pudding I make successfully, apple crumble.

Sausages bubble and squeak and baked tomatoes and just taken out of the oven raspberry and white chocolate muffins. they smell divine but the rest will be frozen for another time.

Parsleywin it was, just cut off the top and bottom bits of the swede. Put in microwave on full for (I think) 15 minutes. But the time would depend on size of swede I suppose. No pricking or cutting required.

I have bought a easy-to-cook chicken breast joint and some baby leaf Spring greens to go with my swede. It will be followed by remains of yesterday's apple and raspberry crumble, with single cream.

1/2 a sirloin steak, mushrooms, celery, sweetcorn, green beans and sauteed potatoes.

annsixty Gulligranny and Worlass- I have never heard of wine, red or white or chocolate slowing down the degeneration. Unfortunately kale is more likely to help but does not have the same taste as chocolate!

Thank you jinglbellsfrocks! I would be very happy to escape having to dice the critter ;-) Although I'm remembering now that I did already peel it, which may make a difference to how it'll cook. Off to the kitchen to experiment!

Just tested mine after 15 minutes. It's actually soft! That's amazing.

It must be the thick skin keeping all the steam in (but stretching enough to keep it from exploding). All the flavour is kept in too, not washed out into the water it is cooked in.

Don't forget to wrap your hand in a teatowel when you scoop it out.

I won't forget.

Just waiting for the rest of the din to cook now. I put swede on early because I really did not believe it! (Oh Ye of little faith)

Left-over roast pork, roast vegetables [onion, pumpkin, mushroom, parsnip, tomatoes, courgette], gravy and apple upside down pudding with custard, also leftover fromyesterday. I shall have mine cold, DH his microwaved!
