We’re a bit ahead in time here and I’ve just made OH tea. Lamb chops, mixed salad leaves, beetroot and home made coleslaw. I’m going to have kippers on toast later. Sometimes both of us struggle for ideas so what are you folks planning to eat tonight ?

I got a half price turkey the other day in Lidl and I have managed to get so much meat from it, it is squealing.grin
The little pieces of meat, that DH turns his nose up at, will become a turkey and mushroom filo pastry pie and he will be none the wiser.smile

We're having sausage and mash for tea.

Probably baked potatoes stuffed with cheese, bacon and onion, and salad.

Pork and bean casserole with jacket spuds.

Beef casserole which my husband prepared last night as he is working outside today.

Fillet steak, Charlotte potatoes and a salad.

We are currently using up the contents of the freezer , for several reasons, so tonight it is a small pork shoulder joint with veg and roast potatoes.
If our appetites are small ,as they often are now, it will be cold pork in some guise tomorrow.

Scrambled egg on toast! We have friends coming this morning to help us in the garden. I have made soup and a bakewell tart so we will be full of lunch.

grandMattie Wed 24-Jan-18 09:41:55

Roast chicken pieces, potatoes, leeks and various roast veges. Going away tomorrow, so want to finish off bits. also, finish off the stewed fruit in jelly.

humptydumpty Wed 24-Jan-18 09:43:36

Hold on, am I missing something here, do people really know at this time of morning what they're going to eat this evening??

MawBroon Wed 24-Jan-18 09:45:24

Tea, I expect (or maybe coffee)
Supper is another matter grin

Nannylovesshopping Wed 24-Jan-18 09:45:41

Haha!! Well obviously fruit in jelly, am trying green grapes in lime jelly tonight!! The obsession continuesgrin

annsixty Wed 24-Jan-18 09:47:24

Yes and most days all the prep is done by about 11am.
I can't begin to think about food planning later than that.
I am quite disciplined in that side of my life, sadly not in others.

DanniRae Wed 24-Jan-18 09:54:23

What to have for dinner is something I decide before I get out of bed in the morning. I can't rest until it is decided. Am I alone in this? hmm

moobox Wed 24-Jan-18 09:57:57

Actual food prep usually starts 27 minutes before we eat (I listen to the Archers at 7.03, and we usually eat about 7.30. Tonight I am on my own and will have ready made falafel and salad

Gagagran Wed 24-Jan-18 09:58:55

No you're not DanniRae. I often decide on the menu if I am awake in the night or very early morning ( we usually eat at lunchtime). I find I can then drift back to sleep once decided!

Tallyann1 Wed 24-Jan-18 09:59:59

Pork stroganoff...it's Mary berrys and its a doddle!!

gerry86 Wed 24-Jan-18 10:01:33

I hate having to decide what to eat each night, some weeks I have lots of ideas then others I struggle. Tonight I have a small pork loin which I'll wrap in puff pastry and have a few new potatoes and veg with it.
