What are you making for dinner?

Had scrambled egg and dry smoked bacon at around 1pm, not hungry tonight, hubby had a crab sandwich as he bought a lovely big brown crab earlier. Kids are out with friends.

We went out Christmas shopping on Thursday evening and stopped for dinner on the way home at a Turkish restaurant, I think Lebanese food is my very favourite.
Husband had a kebab, I had a vegetarian mix of hellum cheese, which is like halloumi but it came with falafel, but these were like patties which were covered in seeds and really crispy. I have looked a recipe up and it uses soaked but not cooked chickpeas so will have a go at making some.

Both dishes were served with rice, bulgur wheat, mixed salads, pitta bread and hummus.

Back down to earth tonight, air fry chips, mushrooms, fried eggs and bacon.

Croissant bread and butter pudding worth all the calories 

Brie

OH is doing something with goat, aubergine, courgette, peppers and (I think) merguez sausages.  On cous cous.  Hope he doesn't serve it at 8 pm!

Frith

Fried some onion with sliced chicken and some roast veg that I froze the other day. 

Cooked in puff pastry with grated cheese, like a big pasty. With peas and gravy.

Roast chicken dinner for us tonight, with roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, carrots and gravy.  Apple and blackberry crumble for pud. I anticipate falling asleep in a carb haze shortly after the Strictly final.

We had a lovely day today, a visit to a farm shop that goes all out for Christmas, I bought two boxes of mince pies, £3 each or 2 for £5. 
Then we came home and put the Christmas tree up. Finished off with a cup of tea and mince pie. Shocked that there were only three mince pies in each box, I thought they were double layered!!

We then went out for dinner, a carvery. It wasnt the best, but lovely I didn't have to cook!  Husband had gammon and pork, he had absolutely loads of meat. I had nut roast with mine.
