What are you making for dinner?

Husband made konjac fettucine with tomato and basil sauce with lots of fresh basil and parsley plus a bag of seafood selection from ASDA and lots of grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Simple and tasty

We had a lovely day yesterday, started with a long Thai massage, then, accompanied by Frank, went for a late lunch of various seafood tapas and a main of surf and turf, lobster and steak with a very nice bottle of wine, no room for pud…

Fridge is bursting with goodies, just went to our local fab greengrocer and grabbed padron peppers, local watercress and rocket and the longest, fattest French radish I’ve ever seen, French as in the type of radish, they are also grown locally. Along with IOW tomatoes, this is for tomorrow’s birthday BBQ, lots of seafood, scallops, crab, huge langoustine, a 2kg steak, a boned leg of lamb plus various veg burgers and sausages for the vegans (separate bbq) in all a huge spread, and no, not cheap, but for around 20 of us it will be a lot cheaper than a meal out, especially as it’s Easter 

off to make basque burnt cheesecake, brownies as well as hummus’s, salsa and vegan ranch dressing

@Islandmaid you have me drooling and now reminiscing of the wonderful  holiday in the isle of wight, last year.  

I'm off out to lunch with my dad today. Fish and chips. Will just have a sandwich at dinner time. Husband and daughter can sort themselves, it's a bank holiday so I'm resting 😀

Happy birthday Islandlad!!

We were booked for the Nepalese restaurant on board this evening but OH was ill after the last visit there so we've cancelled. Don't think it has to do with the food served particularly but when you're at sea it's not a fun thing.  So we'll be in the normal dining room today which means formal attire ( not something I do well as compared to him indoors).  But the food will be good.  Haven't checked the specials yet but last night they had veal liver which was done perfectly, just pink, with mash and roasted red onion as well as a bit of streaky bacon.  Annoyed OH yet again by having the cheese for afters but stating no grapes, chutney or biscuits but an apple instead.  They obliged and had even peeled and sliced it for me!!!

@Brie I am definitely loving hearing about your cruise, I have always wanted to go on a cruise and see the northern lights. Put off a bit by the dressing up though.

Today's  fish and chips were excellent. Then for my tea, I had two slices of sourdough toast with mashed avocado and a hard boiled egg, sliced on top.  Really enjoyed it.

Last night was one of my favourite; cauliflower cheese,a little mash spud, carrots and sausage. With a little of my favourite mustard. Lovely! 

   Tonight we will treat ourselves and have a takeaway curry. One good thing,besides being lovely,is there’s always enough to freeze and have another feed! 

Brie

Supper club dining room tonight on board which will likely mean I'll have the rack of lamb.  Last visit there OH had a honking big tbone!

MrsStepford

Omelettes for supper.. I had wild smoked salmon & organic beetroot, OH had wild caught prawns and odds and ends of cheeses. I think we have either rare breed pork chops for supper on Sunday or rainbow trout fillets.

A traditional Sunday dinner today. We picked up a nice little joint of lamb for two,we have spuds and carrots to use up,and I grow a gorgeous perennial kale in our garden - so some of that too. Perhaps a Yorkshire pudding too. Lovely.
