What are you making for dinner?

Beef in red wine made in the slow cooker a couple of days ago so well brewed with mash followed by banana bread just out of the oven:)

Bolognaise bake with a side salad and blueberry and apple crisp. 1 lonely apple and some lurking blueberries topped with crisp topping from Nigella recipe for blackberry crisp. It's going to be a bit stingy on the fruit, but it will have to do as no other fruit available!

OK, Islandmaid:
What are 'neeps'?
Some people say 'swede' when they mean 'turnip' and vice versa.

I think they are very different tasting vegetables - swedes are sweeter than turnip which are peppery (imho).
So what are your 'neeps'?

Re haggis, a friend brought us one down from a visit to Scotland and we hated it. Don't know if it was a cheap one that he'd picked up or if we just didn't 'get' it.

Anyways - our dinner tonight is OH's favourite spaghetti Bolognaise.

Islandmaid

Pollycat I am sure our Scottish friends will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe a Neep is a turnip, but we call it swede, that’s what I was told, and our Scottish friend is most miffed we are having the sacred Haggis today and not next Thursday which is Burns night x

"Neeps" are yellow swede aka turnip in Scotland just to confuse things.

Family dinner here tonight: Rib roast of beef, mash, cauli cheese, baby carrots, green beans, Yorkshire Pudding and gravy. Followed by lemon tart, raspberries and cream.

Yikes, sorry to hear about the burglary, how awful. Hope everyone is ok, that's the main thing, everything else is just stuff at the end of the day.

I never knew that, I've been with my OH for nearly 20yrs and always assumed when he said he liked turnip, he meant the white ones.

I do love haggis.

No idea what dinner is. Just had poached eggs on toast after a run in the snow. Have quizzed OH to see what he wants but no definitive reply yet. I'm thinking today requires mash at least as it's so cold and wintery.
