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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Can I please ask what Lorne sausage is?

Elegran Tue 20-Oct-15 20:33:10

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"

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

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

Thankyou! Looks a very convenient way of cooking sausage.

grannyqueenie Tue 20-Oct-15 22:07:08

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" !

Heck make a nice square sausage.

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

kittylester Thu 22-Oct-15 13:56:28

Griddled salmon with 'free' Sainsbury's chili butter, lyonnaise potatoes, green beans stir fried with garlic and tomatoes! No pudding, we never have pudding!

Greyduster Thu 22-Oct-15 17:43:00

Something light tonight. Cheese and ham omelettes and salad.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 22-Oct-15 18:12:55

Pork steaks, jacket spuds, and frozen peas. Followed by blueberry and pear crumble and custard.

harrigran Thu 22-Oct-15 18:22:55

Prawn curry. I have been out for lunch and had a very thin pizza but DH went off to the seafront and had fish and chips. He is probably not hungry but my pizza was not very filling.

grannylyn65 Thu 22-Oct-15 19:59:50

As I arrived home to discover cooker had packed up, it was a ham sandwich !!

grannylyn65 Thu 22-Oct-15 20:00:44

Ooh blueberry and pear yummy grin

ninathenana Fri 23-Oct-15 07:13:50

Spag bol as the DGC will be here and it's one of their favourites.
The other being DH's homemade Korma !

Pittcity Fri 23-Oct-15 08:35:59

Looks like nobody ate on Wednesday! We had sausage, mash and baked beans. Ate out last night at our favourite posh burger place where they serve delicious rosemary fries, yum.
No ideas for tonight yet.

whitewave Fri 23-Oct-15 08:55:14

Something from M&S tonight. It is Mum duties today. Her cleaner is off sick so I have to be cleaner this week. Will be too knackered to come home and cook after walking the dog as well! ,- DH recovering from his back jobby.

annsixty Fri 23-Oct-15 09:04:13

Tonight it will be smoked haddock with a poached egg on top and a few homemade chips. I must have been enjoying this meal for 65 years.
Tomorrow it is duck breasts with a cherry sauce, courtesy of M&S Dine in menu.

Sirloin steak marinated after it has been cooked a la Nigella! I can't remember it's fancy name but it's delicious! With rosemary and garlic oven wedges now that I have read Pitt's post and oven roasted cherry tomatoes! I think I am becoming addicted to cherry tomatoes.
