What are you making for dinner?

Any

Fish green thai curry, with fish&veg from freezer and curry paste from thai supermarket
This paste was recommended to me by thai forum, but it is really spicy!!🤣 My OH who likes Vindaloo from take away places bulged his eyes out last time I made it🤣🤣 so I will need to lower the paste dosage... 
But it is very flavourfull, I have to say

Breakfast was a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. Dinner is cooking as I type. It is going to be spaghetti with sauce made from tinned tomatoes, various veg and chicken from chicken thighs, might get some garlic bread out of the freezer. Quite an easy dinner but main thing I have successfully resisted getting takeaway. Might not resist a glass of wine later though.

C_J I'd call that an 'Eton Trifle' (anyone a Jam fan on here because i now have Eton Rifles in my head  )

Been busy today cleaning off the patio and furniture,  put together some garage shelves that we bought when we moved in...4yrs ago! And generally trying to keep busy. Have stuff i need to take to the tip but obv thats currently closed. 
So dinner tonight was an Aldi fish pie each, OH had beans with his and i had petit pois.

What a catalyst you turned out to be .....

I used to love The Jam, and Eton Rifles was one of my favourite tracks.  You’ve taken me right back! Mister CJ and I used to argue endlessly whether they were Punk (I thought they were) or New Wave (he incorrectly asserted that silly fact). 🤣

I can report that Eton Trifle is delicious.

They're my OH fav band, he sits firmly in the 'they're Mod' camp (well technically New Mod I guess). We've seen several tribute bands together,  as close as he can get to actually seeing them. One of them called A Band Called Malice have played a couple of times at our local arts centre which is really handy being so close to home. There also used to be one call The Distant Echoes which were based largely around the west country and up to Swindon, not sure if they're still together now though.

Last night's dinner was a bit of a rummage affair.  It ended up as a sort of freehand pie effort - fried mushrooms, boiled potatoes and swede, steamed leeks, all chucked into the frying pan, a bit of flour stirred in with some dried herbs and a splash of milk, then some grated smoked cheddar.  Made some milk pastry (I find it behaves better for me than regular shortcrust), rolled it and cut a large square, filled with the veg mixture and folded it over.  Gave it an egg wash and bunged it in the oven for 40 minutes.  I was all out of enthusiasm for organising something proper to go with it so opened a tin of beans.

Home made tomato soup for lunch with a hard boiled egg for me and some toast for HWK followed by half an apple and half an orange each and supper this evening will be the rest of the Friday stew and dumplings as we  didn't use it yesterday.  I had some broccoli and cauliflower left over in the fridge already cooked and made a sort of sauce with a couple of tablespoons of mashed potato, some milk, some grated cheese and an egg and made us a sort of cauli cheese thing.....was actually very tasty too!

Morning all 

I made some seeded crackers yesterday, and some mackerel pate, so that will be lunches today and for my work lunches, will also make another loaf today and we’re out of bread.

dinner will be Lamb chops with the usual roasties etc sprouting broccoli, carrots and chocolate fondants for pud, that we didn’t have yesterday

We are having roast pork knuckle today, with sourdough bread&horseradish, gherkings&my OH might request sharp naked coleslaw (he doesn't eat gherkings). Exactly the way we had it at our favourite restaurant in Prague.
I had a Tesco sourdough mixture in the cupboard, which is out of date!! By couple months. But I had that problem before and I just added dry yeast to make sure it rises.. so fingers crossed it works for me again!
I am not throwing away flour mix in this climate!! 😁

We are having roast pork with apple sauce, roast potatoes, cauliflower/broccoli cheese, carrots and peas. Eton Rifles for pud

The pork joint is large and will feed the two of us for several more meals over the week in various guises. I'm planning barbecue pulled pork baps with coleslaw and salad,  sweet and sour pork with rice, spicy Singapore noodles, and maybe enough bits left over to mince up and add to some veg in a couple of pasties for lunch. It has left a welcome bit of space in one of the freezer drawers, too!
