TONIGHT`S DINNER

Meatballs and Quorn balls in tomato and veg sauce with egg tossed tagliatelle, tomato and mozzarella salad with basil.

Waitrose's own macaroni cheese, bacon and fried tomatos.

Ham broth with chunks of ham made from two ham houghs along with crusty bread. Yum

Sorting through the freezer I found some smoked haddock I'd forgotten about. So put together a delicious kedgeree. DH said 'we should have this more often' so praise indeed as he rarely notices what I feed him.

We had liver and onions, creamed potatoes, chopped carrots and parsnips and cabbage. , very tasty it was too. Haven't had liver for ages and was surprised how much dearer it was than last time I bought it. Has it become one of those peasanty cheffy foods?

We also had baked salmon but for the first time for yonks I made a creamy parsley sauce as I had a bunch of parsley going begging. Sautéed potatoes carrots and sugar snaps. A glass or two of Chardonnay might have figured in the mix.

Sounds scrumptious, Gk. That's one I will remember.

I made Bombay potatoes and baked salmon with raita and poppadums..yum yum!

I decided to resurrect this thread because the dinner I made tonight was divine and so easy:

Fennel and red onion sauteed (or however you spell that) in a pan - add splosh of white wine and seasoning and let it simmer for 10 mins or so. Tip into a baking dish - place fillets of cod on top of the fennel/onion mixture and bake until the fish is opaque (took about 12 minutes of so). Because there are four of us, the fish fillets placed side by side covered the below juicy mix and all was revealed when people went to dish up. Much ooh-ing and aah-ing.

Served with rice and sweet potato and butternut squash done on the hob with a bit of butter and a pinch of sugar - you have to stir it frequently but it ends up similar to roasting it (this is easier and quicker).

Bon appetit x

More chips with cold ham and turkey, plus a bag of hot veg. A homemade rice pud with a dollop of brandy cream in it.

Ham, egg & chips with pickled red cabbage.

Plaice and chips here at Vegas Towers

glamma so many of us just wanting egg and chips after the excesses of the last few days.

Chips,egg and mushy peas to-night afterwards we will finish the trifle just enough for the two of us yummy.

Fry up! All the components of yesterday's meal chopped and fried up together in butter. A tradition in our family, and absolutely delicious! Good job I got a 'Fitbit' for Christmas. Diet Monday.

Roast pork with all the trimmings, tiramisu and a good bottle of red with DS and DiL. Good job they are staying over - it is snowing heavily here, so breaking out the chocs and battening down the hatches!

We are 'grazing' on cold meats, cheeses, pickles, crisps etc. and lolling in front of the telly after a busy, sociable day yesterday. I feel a slice of Christmas cake and a glass of lemonade/elderflower cordial calling to me.

Rich vegetarian lasagne with garlic bread and salad. (On our own tonight - next wave arrives 28th - all 8 + 4 who live nearby...) And wine...

Sorry to hear about your sore throat Grannyknot but glad you are being fussed over - tonight its lovely leftovers we particularly like reheated sprouts. Yum yum cheers

Who's eating what tonight? I need inspiration!

I've a sore throat today which I have overstated, so I have spent most of the day in bed with people fussing over me. Will get up soon.

Fried diced potatoes, fried diced bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes with 4 eggs dropped in covered and sort of baked!! Lovely!!

Lazy tip if you like Seafood Chowder try Lidl`s - scrummy had it tonight while DH had a ham salad!!!!

Can't be bothered to cook tonight so hopefully fish and chips from windy local chippies. Going than 'I hate cooking' phase........... Wish could just take a replacement pill instead of thinking about planning meals, food just doesn't interest me I'm afraid!

Wensleydale !

I love the Spice Tailor curries too thanks to Kitty's recommendation.

I am having to cook something discreet and non smelling tonight as DH is on the horrid medicine before his colonoscopy (sorry not a very nice subject on this thread) tomorrow and I thought it would be unkind to cook myself something that smells good.

So I have got two of those lovely stuffed mushrooms from the Co-Op filled with Leek and Wenselydale - yummy.
