What are you making for dinner?

JIL

We went out today, Had to pay for parking but if you spent £5 in the big supermarket you got your £1 refunded. I have the shopping app so I bought two soups. (Made me think of Julie Walters as I typed that) and a vegetable biryani.
Got my £1 back and put in for soup refund.
So for tea we had biryani, and from freezer, Indian snacks, Dahl, chicken Balti and nan bread. Quick and easy.

DS2 and I ended up getting a Chinese last night, Wish I hadn't bothered, it was so sweet I couldn't eat it, this low carbing malarkey does change your taste buds. DH came home around 11 (lightweight) a little worse for wear and polished off the leftovers

Today BBQ beef burgers with salad for me, corn on the cob and jacket potato's for the chaps.

I did also make a huge frittata yesterday for work lunches and snacks.

Too hot for being in the kitchen but not at the moment so I'm making a vat of minestrone soup, have cooked some chicken pieces and will make a rice salad for later and that my friends is about all I can face in this infernal heat!!!

My brother in law has pretty well cut out salt and drastically changed the way he eats after a high blood pressure/health scare, and we got a Chinese takeaway last time they came (their request as they live abroad and can't normally get it, not us being thoughtless! ), and he just couldn't eat any of it as it tasted so salty it disgusted him

Salad today, and I'm going to make a fennel and walnut one but might be eating that one on my own :rotfl:

Tonight we'll be having hm quiche, ham, new potatoes, hm coleslaw and salad from the garden.

I have just braved the supermarket, nearly climbed into the freezers for a quick nap, its soooo hot out. Picked up lots of picky bits like salad, tapas, drumsticks and some quiche. Yes I know i could roast a chuck myself and make quiche but the kitchen (whole house) is a bit of a tip ATM thanks to the garden works (stuff just gets trailed in) and TBH, I'm too hot to spend much time cooking anything.

We're having marinated pork (cooked in the oven as we don't have a BBQ) with potato rosti, baby corn and little carrots.

We had a barbeque, if anyone had seen us I'm sure they would have questioned what we were up to. There was just the two of us and so we don't need a big BBQ. Its just a cheap £10 folding thing, I don't eat meat but husband does. So I was sitting in a garden chair, husband next to me in his chair. The BBQ was lit but only about 40 CMS off the ground. Husband has his half of the barbie and I had the other. We were both cooking our food at the same time. I had hallomi, peppers, asparagus, corn on the cob, vege quorn sausage. Husband had sausage, burger, a kebab, and a bit of frozen makeral.

We both had salad, a slaw, potato salad and pasta salad.
It made a nice change, much better than slaving over the oven.

I've got a chicken out of the freezer and I'm going to cut it up and OH and DS will have chicken breast tonight with salad and new pots and I'll have the first courgette from the garden with my salad :j, then I'll cook the rest of the chicken later in the week - possibly in HFW's Rosemary lentil chicken recipe (maybe cook it early to avoid the heat!)

I have defrosted some chicken thighs, I will marinate them later, something lemon and herby I think, green salad for me, cous cous Salad for the men
