    i really need some meal ideas... i am a fussy eater and i'm getting bored of eating the same things ie veg/pasta/potatoes! i'm not keen on sauces, spicy food. garlic is yuk. cheesey based foods are good either. only eat chicken and fish too. oh and i dont like eggs or quorn! any ideas?? :o

    MATH - just caught up with your post from the other day - nice to see you're all well, you're in a similar line of work to me and I agree its very rewarding and a lot of fun sometimes:)

    Turkey twizzlers:eek: wash your mouth out with soap!:D

    We are still as lovely and friendly a bunch as we used to be. There are still some 'oldies' left and I'm sure you will be giving Halight a run for his money as our resident male ;):D
    talking of Halight - where is he?

    Just had a nice quorn sweet and sour for tea, lots left for the freezer.

    have a nice evening all x

    How about trying to broaden your tastebuds, just imagine you are DS and you have to be presented with a new food at least 20 times in order to accept it ;)

    How about chicken in red wine with mushrooms, not a really thick sauce, gives a nice flavour and you can "sieve" the chicken and mushrooms from the SC with a slotted spoon.

    Cod and chorizo parcels - basically cod portions with thinly sliced chorizo sausage with some veg, wrapped in foil and roasted in oven.

    Chicken breast smothered in wholegrain mustard and cooked in oven, a little bit spicy but not quite in a vindaloo range ;)

    Will you eat anything in say a tomato based sause at all?
    Other than that I am drawing a blank :rotfl:

    We have just finished my Chinese chicken wing leftover concoction. I put the millet in with the sauce and chicken and added peppers, celery & walnuts. I was trying to make a sort of millet risotto. It was OK but not to be repeated I think. Certainly not added to the list of favourites :)
    Lou - can't recommend this although it has chicken and veg it has garlic! Anyway it wasn't great. x

    Evening all

    ((((jackieg and reverbe)))) plus anyone else who wants one x

    Tappers - halight has been on FB this week so is still alive!

    I feel icky :( like I have a cold coming, hope not cos I have date with Toyboy Sat night!!

    Had a good day in work despite being ill, had my appraisal and got a 'very good' mark, which means I am in the top 5% of my company :D and only one in my office to get that mark. Sadly it only equates to about a 2% pay increase, but that's better than nowt!

    OS wise - dinner from freezer - 2 different curries and some rice.

    Going to cwtch in on sofa and try to will myself better

    the chicken with red wine maybe doable :think: well i like red wine and chicken

    i'll eat tomato based sauce like bolognaise (minus the meat :o) normally have it with peppers and musrhooms and spaghetti or k
    jacket potato

    i'm going to give roasted peppers ago... i like peppers so they're not going to taste any different roasted...i hope :rotfl:
