    I will have my own kitchen again tomorrow (if I manage to unpack all the stuff that is :o) but tonight I think it will be fish and chips.

  • Morning all - diner's open early this morning but there doesn't seem to be any staff about? Oh well, self service and leave the money on the side then! :cool:

    Omlettes last night as OH has rugby training on a Thursday so it's easier to do something separate. I had mushrooms and peppers that needed used up so that sorted the filling out, along with a good handful of cheese. Stuck mine under the grill to brown the cheese and puff it up. OH stuck his to the frying pan as usual - I wish I knew what he did to things to make them stick! :mad:

    Egg mayo roll for lunch, (just hard boiled the egg!) and curry tonight for tea. Need to go and ask on MG's thread if anyone has a foolproof recipe for naan bread as I fancy making some to surprise OH with later! HM chicken & lentil curry is defrosting in the fridge, and I'll do rice and poppadums too. :D

    Have a happy Friday everyone!

  • DH has just made the most gorgeous chicken stew with tiger bread to dunk in it. Bliss - I don't think I'll be moving from the sofa much tonight :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • Ah! So THIS is where you all are!!!!;)

    Thought I'd pootle on over and see what everyones up to.

    Pen, your dinner sounded lovely. Ours was cobbled together from remnants from freezer, fridge and cupboard. Ended up with a bizarre roast effect type thing :rotfl:. Luckily Mr P has gone shopping tonight so we may eat something normal tomorrow!!!

  • I've done most of it on-line, I can't be doing with shops this time of year.

    Ah yes, I am tempted by that I must admit. I can do my shopping lists and then on the 1st just order it all. Know what getting Piglet so can just raid Toysrus late one night!:D

  • I love the atmosphere in the shops coming up to christmas. OH and I go for a day christmas shopping together, and I also go for a day with Mum, although to be honest that one tends to be more about having a day wandering round the shops and not buying much! :D

    Had the planned chicken & lentil curry tonight, I made naan breads and pepper & onion rice with it - both for the first time and both turned out well so hurrah for me!
