What are you making for dinner?

Out out last night for DH birthday dinner. Went to a local Indian which was very nice although chuck in a couple of after dinner cocktails and I think we spent more on drink than food

Scary how that happens @kerri_gt 😆

I'm out for dinner with the girls tonight, so got DH and the kids an M&S pizza meal deal - two pizzas, garlic dough balls and Mac n cheese bites for £10 (hopefully they can manage to stick in the oven themselves 😉).

It was also scary for the table across from us who they tried to give our bill to...DH heard the guy saying 'we didn't order two Espresso Martini's...' ...then looked across at our two empty glasses with coffee beans in the bottom 🤣🤣

@Kerrie_gt glad you had a lovely meal, bit tight of other table not to pay your bill though 🤣🤣

I’m making one of my favourite meals today, Duck confit with celeriac dauphinois and spiced red cabbage, a proper indulgence, the duck was bought for New Year dinner, but to to illness, wasn’t used.

I know, had we known they weren't going to pay we wouldn't have ordered a second round of cocktails 

Last night was HM pizza, dough and sauce were already in the freezer so just a case of defrosting and assembly.  Honestly don't know why i stopped making pizzas so long ago, really so easy, and much cheaper than store bought. 

Chicken breast for me tonight with the last / other half of xmas sauce. Just picked up a bag of olio goodies so may have that with some broccoli.

I also have 4 packs of goats cheese thanks to olio...goats cheese pizza anyone 🙂

Got family coming over later, so making The Hairy Bikers sausage casserole (had 10 sausages in the fridge bb today!), with crusty bread, rice, broccoli and cauliflower.

I’m trying not to do a shop this week.  We have left over gammon, onion and potato pie with a little cheese grated in the mixture.  We will have that with beans and fried egg.  For desert I used the rest of the pastry as the base, crinkled apples chopped up mixed with mincemeat and a sponge on top.  It’s in the oven now and smells divine.

I wandered into the fish shop on Friday (proper monger) and the chap smiled at me and said "how about some salmon?"   Must have read my mind or maybe I looked familiar (I've seen him before but can't remember where) so ended up with 2 honking thick slices of salmon.  Plan was to cook them for Sunday breakfast and have the left over for lunches but then I realised that the price I was charged meant they would do nicely for us both for dinner.  So panned fried them last night and served with a bit of frozen  spinach (heated up obviously) and a couple of Lidl's emmental potato cakes.   OH always makes a face when I suggest salmon (prefers various white fish) but really enjoyed this.  

Discussions are underway whether we will have a cheese fest for dinner with bake at home rolls (been told this isn't appropriate as we had croissant for breakfast) or lasagna.
