    That's one of the first things my OH made for me when we first met.

    I met a friend for lunch today, we both had leek and feta tart with skinny fries (shape was the only skinny thing about them :rotfl:) so that did me today.

    We had coleslaw made with a small cabbage I bought in October. Chicken, roasted in a spicy coating, sweet potato fries and Caesar salad. I had a mushroom omelette with mine.
  • I am taking my 6yo niece out tonight to an event at school so we are eating out - I will probably have pizza or lasagne.

    Kerri - Cheesy beanos was a staple for me and OH as students. The first meal he ever made me was a truly disgusting mix of tuna with supernoodles.
  • Yellow sticker chicken breast, will make a stir fry with it to stretch it out a bit, and some rice.
    Yellow sticker scones and strawberries for dessert.
    Loving the yellow sticker bargains about at the moment.
