    Kerri - what about this http://eatrealfooduk.blogspot.com/2013/01/curried-squash-and-swede-stew.html?m=1

    We are at cinema tonight, so will have a quick omelette before going as I am busy preparing an Indian styled feast as the 3 kids and their partners are staying Saturday night.

    A lamb curry, chicken curry, mushroom one, cauliflower one as well as all the usual accompaniments - I love cooking for a crowd, and works out a lot cheaper than a takeaway for 8 :)

    Ohhh, thanks for the idea IM I have most of the ingredients in one form or another. What are you going to see at the cinema?

    K80 Black tonight I had chips, beans and a buttered roll, cooked by OH because I CBA. He had chips, beans and a Quorn 'steak' pie.

    So none of th veg got used up yet :o

    Supper tonight will be a sausage and bean casserole like a poor mans cassoulet! there is a 0%fat yoghurt for dessert if we want it and of course our usual black coffee.
