We did have chilli and wedges on our meal planner for the week until I realised when I was in Asda it was Valentines! Doh!

So we have lasagne, garlic bread and melt in the middle chocolate puddings..............with Häagen-Dazs

M&S meal for us Thai fish cakes, steak with rosti potatoes, oven roast mediterranean veggies (not from M&S) and champagne and strawberry souffles with rose Cava as we're both working on Wednesday. We're having a belated Valentines Day out on Friday with a long lie, shopping, lunch then the theatre and dinner at night :j:j

It's just me and the little dude (3) so we are having a roast chicken dinner (simply because I have a whole chicken that needs cooked tomorrow), a bag of steamed veg I picked up for 50p in As*a, and some mash with gravy. I am also making a cheat cheesecake of the biscuit base and angel delight topping (I have a can of evaporated milk in the fridge needing used).

Nothing fancy just stuff needing used up. It's just Tuesday to me boooooo! Hope everyone is having a lovely valentines with hearts and all!

I have no idea...

It's the one day of the year that DH cooks for me :j so I just act like I'm used to living the life of Riley (whoever he/she is ) and stay out of the kitchen.

I did notice an M&S carrier bag in the fridge though.

for those that are interested in chocolate, these are really really easy.
the mixture makes loads so half it for 2 and it will prob be enough. i use small ramekins and usually put some raspberries at the bottom or cherries from a tin. don't let souffle put you off, they don't really rise and fall and go wrong. they are nice when they have gone cold too. they go into a firm dense mixture.


Chocolate souffles
· 100g dark chocolate , chopped
· 75g butter , cut into cubes plus extra for the ramekins
· 3 eggs
· 84 g!sugar
· 62g plain flour
· Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter 6 medium ramekins. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave. Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are very light and fluffy and then fold in the flour. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
· Divide between the ramekins. Bake for 8-12 minutes, the souffl!s should rise and form a firm crust but you want then still to be slightly runny in the middle. Serve with cream.

kittycat204, thank you very much for this delicious recipe. Made it for our romantic dinner in tonight and it went down a treat. Kids loved it too. So easy and quick, def will be making it again!!!
