What are you making for dinner?

Final portions of sausage casserole today.

I've got some crab to use up, so think I'll make a crab and chilli linguine.

Have currently got a seeded marmite loaf in the oven along with a massive tray of veg roasting for lunches this week. 

When the bread comes out, I’ll put in some scampi, breaded haddock and HM chips for tonight’s dinner, will have peas and mushy peas alongside.

Doing my online shop for Wednesday and at least 3 things have gone up in price since last week, 2 by 5% but my daughters juice cartons for school have gone up 20% in one week! Shocking 

Would it be better to get some plastic drink pots and stop buying the cartons???  Bit of a faff washing of course and there is the initial expense - the sistema ones are quite good for not leaking.

OH has asked for soup yet again so I'm getting out one of the leftover pots from the freezer to see whether it's edible.  He likes the tinned soup so if he doesn't fancy what I'm having that's fine.

She has got a drinks bottle. I could try her with it, it’s  just I know she likes her cartons and it’s only 2 packed lunches a week. The rest of the time she drinks from her plastic cups milk, juice or water. That being said I will definitely give it a try this week see what happens.

Found some fossilised pork loin steaks in the freezer, will slice them and make a pork stir fry for the rabble - cod in a butter sauce for me a la 1973 🤣

Cod in butter sauce??  I seem to be a rare individual who has no idea what you are talking about.

A chunk of cod in a butter sauce inside a bag, which you boiled in water for 20 mins, then scalded yourself on the hot sauce when trying to cut the bag open and deposit it on your dinner plate

Those were the days

ETA always bemoaned the fact you could never get all the sauce out of the bag!!

Although @Boat_to_Bolivia is exactly correct, it is a 70’s British classic 🤌

essentially it’s a poached cod fillet in a beurre blanc

Was also available as cod in parsley sauce, seen it never tried it
Fish was free in our house when I was growing up so boil in the bag fish was not on the menu (and still isn't)
I also remember making Haddock Mornay at Domestic Science in school circa 1973, baked fish in cheese sauce

If Captain Birds Eye hears you calling it that, he’ll triple the price of them!

We’re having moussaka tonight, followed by a rum toffee banana tart tatin with a dollop of thick cream. About 90% of the ingredients for the entire dinner came from the community fridge, including the lamb mince, aubergines, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, bananas, cream and puff pastry so it’s a very frugal dinner indeed. There’s so much, it will feed us tomorrow too.

And the butter sauce was the best thing about it, the fish was small and rubbery.

Tonight we had salad, actifry potatoes and I made some small quiches to use up some pastry I had bought to make mince pies, but didn't use. Daughter had vegan quorn dinosaurs with her salad and chips.
