    Ours this week is-
    Su - roast gammon, roast potatoes, spinach, courgettes, baby squash, sugar snap peas (sounds a lot but there wasn't much of each apart from the spinach because they are the first lot from the garden).

    M - pasta with homemade tomato &veg sauce with leftover gammon added.
    T - chiken drumsticks (haven't decided how) with new pots, carrots, broccoli
    W - beef stew and dumplings (freeze half for another day)
    Th - homemade pizza and garlic bread
    F - fish and chips from chippy

    We usually shop on a saturday morning so next weeks plan will be discussed and decided on thurs or friday when I start doing a shopping list.
    I like to live in cloud cuckoo land :hello:

    Kaz the chilli and ginger chicken with pineapple sounds great. I did a quick search on the recipe index but couldn't find it, can you help?
    edited cos I can't spell.

    It was tasty - but next time I'll leave the pineapple in chunks (I blitzed in liquidiser)

    mgardner , egg and chips is my favorite
    mopping up the plate with bread and butter after is the best part imho!

    Oh Broken Wings you have made my month, do you ever put a dollop of tomato sauce on it too? or Brown ? do you sometimes have beans or God forbid as a dear friend of mine does mushy peas, cant face that one.

    Seriously I note that you are a very experienced poster and wonder if you would tell me about the thanks button (do I press it and reply to a post or only press it if I am not putting a reply, I have really wanted to ask but have been afraid of attracting sarcastic replys. Best wishes Mary

    Sunday - HM pizza
    Monday - Roast chicken
    Tuesday - Sausage casserole
    Wednesday - not cooking as both out
    Thursday - dunno yet
    Friday - DH out so not cooking

    Weekend - definitely doing roast beef at some point

    As a not very experienced poster can I put my two-penneth in? I like to press the thanks button if someone has made me laugh, given me an answer to a question, or to show agreement with what they've said. I'll post if I think my thanks needs explaining or just 'cos I've got something to add, otherwise not. I'd always rather go for thanking someone than not, after all it's free!!:D

    I confess I have never fed the family on Egg & Chips,(or beans on toast etc other than as a supper snack) which might well explain why we are both chubby & skint !! I am certainly going to introduce it as a regular though because I could almost taste it as I was reading the mopping up comments. I wonder if I try too hard with dinners sometimes.

    I am thinking of doing a short cookery course when the evening classes start in september just to learn something new & get out of my cooking rut.

    Thanks for the inspiration!!
