Grrrrrrrrrr.

As many famous old-stylers have previously posted, sometimes rather than a main meal, a starter and dessert can be served to one's nearest and dearest;)

you haven't met my OH lol:rotfl:

The french onion soup that i had lovingly slaved over didn't go down well (plus french bread chees toasties). thank goodness for the rhubarb crumble then (that was scrummy)........

won't be trying THAT combo again:eek:

    Well, I think that sounds lovely so next time you're having it, I'll come for tea.

    I agree, it's a girly thing.

    I can't imagine serving up my dinner (deli olives / kettle crisps / G&T followed by an orange) to a b/f unless as an amuse-bouche!!

    thanks all for the support:)

    isn't funny how many of us ladies will quite happily have an easy/cheap/whatever dinner?!

    my OH too thinks he's missing out if he doesn't have a proper dinner:( i'd quite happily also eat the same thing for a few nights running....anything to save some money!

    VfM4 - your combo sounds like my kind of diiner;)

    I couldn't agree more, that's why cooking big batches of soup is so handy (made a spicy carrot concoction at the weekend, kept 3 small servings for the week and froze 11).

    How else will we ever maintain our figures and clear our mortgages??! It's a no-brainer!

    My lot find it very filling and have never complained especially HM mushroom soup with HM granary bread followed by a sponge pud with custard of some sort.

    Never tried it as I know what the reaction would be. They would be more than happy with a jacket spud and toppings though - which is just as cheap, less work but somehow feels like a meal....
