What are you making for dinner?

I'm afraid it will be kfc tonight.  MiL is in a hospital about a 40 minute drive away and the only time OH can visit is 6:30 so we'll go together and then stop off to pick up dinner on the way home.  We've got to start eating earlier (8 pm is normal) as I know it is much healthier for us but tonight it's not an option.

I've spent most of this afternoon on use-it-up batch cooking and baking for my Wednesday walking group and have just finished doing an epic amount of washing up after using my new stand mixer for the first time.

I made Felicity Cloake's perfect asparagus tart without the pastry to keep the calorie count out of the stratosphere and ate it with Chris Baber's za'atar roasted cauliflower, petits pois, green beans and sweetcorn from the freezer with José Pizarro's thyme roasted rhubarb for pudding. I didn't have any cheese for the tart so subbed in some nutritional yeast flakes which worked out quite well and I also didn't have an orange for the rhubarb so juiced some rather elderly easy peelers that were sitting out on the side in the kitchen. 



Here's the rhubarb which was delicious and will be eaten for breakfast tomorrow as well.

Please let us know what you think of the bass, I’ve seen it, not tried it, love bass 😋 and it’s a bargain price from Iceland

@Islandmaid. I thought the seabass was lovely but I have only had it from there meaning I can't be sure if it IS good compared to bought else where, if that makes sense. I really like the seafood multi buy deal at I/land, as there is a good variety of choice and as you say a bargain price. I usually pick three from my favourites...trout/ salmon/ smoked fish / seabass / prawns... but I think there's lots of others to choose from too.

Chilli and rice.
Yesterday I did a check of freezer and cupboard to check what food is in there. Then a rough list of possible meals for the next few weeks meaning I can put shopping off for a little bit although I will start needing fresh veg (and to replenish treats/cleaning products etc) but as for veg i can manage to use a bit of frozen or from cupboard and at least I don't NEED to shop right this second.
Chilli came out strong as something that can be made fresh a couple/few times in the next month not to mention the left overs frozen from said batch(es) or had for a second day... so it will be chilli tomorrow too.
