idly wondering what everyone else is eating. We are spag bol (from the freezer) and salad and then an apple crumble I found - at least I think it's an apple crumble...forgot to label it and have been caught out before

Cod in a spicy yogurt sauce, boiled pots, green beans and carrots. Jam sponge pudding and custard.

Heck make a nice square sausage.

My mouth is watering, elegran , I can almost smell that sausage grin, there's nothing quite like it! Going "home" in a few weeks, I must bring some back with me. I might just have it in a "piece" !

Greyduster Tue 20-Oct-15 21:45:39

Thankyou! Looks a very convenient way of cooking sausage.

I made a (red) Thai chicken curry with the left over chicken from yesterday's Sunday Monday dinner and quite delicious it was too.

Lorne sausage is a square slice of sausage, said to have been invented by a Scottish comedian, Tommy Lorne. It is often served fried as part of a traditional "Scottish breakfast"

Can I please ask what Lorne sausage is?

gulligranny Tue 20-Oct-15 18:38:33

HildajenniJ, I lived in Hamilton for 9 years and I love haggis, so I envy you your meal today. And Lorne sausage! We don't get that "down south". Or Mothers Pride plain loaf, which makes the most divine toast in the world ...

We're having shepherd's pie with the very last of our runner beans tonight. Have picked up some lovely ideas from this thread, thank you very much ladies.

Beef casserole cooking in slow cooker to be transferred to pie dish and topped with pastry, with red cabbage and broccoli.

Cold chicken marinated in a mustard and something ? sauce, salad, oven chips and a nice glass of wine left over from a lunch party yesterday. Followed by stuffed apple with mincemeat baked and low fat custard.

I like your style Kitty PJs, glass of wine in front of telly.

We are having smoked cod poached, with new potatoes and broccoli just hate the smell of fish that lingers in the house.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 20-Oct-15 16:59:55

Chicken, leek and bacon pie. If I ever get up off my sit-upon and go and make the pastry. hmm

granfromafar Tue 20-Oct-15 16:56:26

I love reading these threads as it gives me lots of ideas for yummy meals! Having left-over beef casserole cooked yesterday in slow -cooker. OH couldn't manage to eat after visit to the dentist (he had to survive on soup!) so no cooking needed today.

Pittcity Tue 20-Oct-15 13:04:39

We've got belly pork in a chilli and pepper sauce (jar) with stir fried veg and noodles. Was watching Chinese visit on the news and fancied something oriental!

Greyduster Tue 20-Oct-15 12:42:28

We don't usually eat our main meal at lunch time, but DH is off to football tonight and time will be short, so I have just made stir fried steak with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cornichons and spring onions, with egg fried rice. Followed by orange jelly!smile

hildajenniJ Tue 20-Oct-15 12:07:56

Today we will be having haggis, Lorne sausage, eggs, roast tomatoes and home made oven chips. After all that, probably no pudding.

Worlass Tue 20-Oct-15 11:28:19

Hi Gulligranny and thanks for the info. I, too, take supplements for the macular degeneration. Been taking Lutein for 2-3 years now. Think it must be helping, as only had one course of eye jabs thus far. Sorry, everyone else for going off the subject. By the way, tonight's tea will be gammon (done in slow cooker) with home-made mushy peas, tomatoes and chips. Very naughty, but very yummy. The liver I had yesterday was also yummy. No wonder all my clothes seem to be shrinking in the wash! grin

whitewave Tue 20-Oct-15 11:25:22

Slow cooker chicken and bacon hotpot runner beans and cabbage. Stewed apple and custard left over from yesterday. There is enough hotpot for two days. So will have that tomorrow with Queen of pudding

kittylester Tue 20-Oct-15 11:11:07

Easy dinner tonight as DH and DS are off to the football and they eat at the pub on the way. So, a frozen sausage casserole with baked potato and peas eaten from a tray, watching Stenders and 2 episodes of Holby, wearing my jamas and dressing gown with a nice glass of white wine

Parsleywin Mon 19-Oct-15 23:10:32

Success! Thanks for the swede info, jinglbellsfrocks. I put the peeled half swede on a plate and nuked it for about 12mins. A couple of patches refused to cook but I just trimmed them off and the rest was - delish! I normally steam it, or add to stews but I thought the flavour tonight was much superior. Shall do a whole one in it's skin next time.

whitewave Mon 19-Oct-15 20:31:56

Now I've changed my mind ,ana

Evertheoptimist Mon 19-Oct-15 20:19:30

Hello! I'm new to this. But came home from work to find DH had cooked lightly dusted cod (M&S) with lots of veg. I'm trying to diet so all was going well until the bottle of wine was opened. Yummy, empty calories!

Ana Mon 19-Oct-15 20:09:53

Oh no, I'll never forget the smell of the cow's cheek my stepmother used to cook for the dog - it sat simmering in a huge pot on the stove all day and the whole house reeked of it...[yuk emoticon]

rosesarered Mon 19-Oct-15 20:01:47

Just soup for us today, spicy parsnip, with a slice of crusty buttered bread and a bit of cheese.

whitewave Mon 19-Oct-15 19:57:30

Will give cheeks a go sometime I think. I bet it makes good gravy.
