    I need ideas for very very VERY boring or plain meals i can do for tea tonight.

    I made a soup today, myself and my toddler ate it happily with bread but my husband and stepson who is 13 both turned their noses up at it. Husband then shouted saying i should know better than to make soup when stepson is over. The soup was fine he was just eyeing up junk food for the record.

    I was going to do chicken but after that outburst they can go sing, I've turned the oven off.

    So whats the most boring meal idea you can think of? Xx

    Sh*t with sugar on it ;) as my mother used to say :rotfl:

  • Meat and 2 veg.... your husband's, that is....
    If any partner of mine dared to shout at me over something I'd cooked, he'd be wearing a frying pan as a custom-made hat. Ungrateful !!!!!!! I'm sure your soup was lovely.:)

    well, what did you make?

    I would make something nice but only two portions (for you and the toddler). you could then explain to your DH you didn't cook for him and his son as you didn't think they'd like it!

    Alternatively, if you do want to feed them, go for pasta and tinned tomatoes.

    I would have tipped it over his head!

    Offer them fresh air sandwiches with no bread and butter.

    (or pasta out a packet with ketchup )

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
