What are you making for dinner?

Any

I have finally made the Nigel Slater's bean&chorizzo soup, so that is for lunch today. Smells good so quite looking forward to it!
For tea we'll have a fish with new potatoes &veg
Have not decide which fish yet, as thanks to buying the fish box delivery I have a choice, or what sauce yet - just butter & parsley,or olive oil with lemon? Or something different? It will be white fish as that is what I fancy. Not much ingredients in the fridge as I need to go shopping soon😟

It’s tuna mayo salad for lunch today, and tonight I’m just doing battered (shop bought) fish and chips - mostly because I want to clear a bit of space in the freezer!

I took half a loaf of white bread out of the freezer for lunch, as I'm tired of the aldi brown bread that husband keeps buying.... I don't put it on the shopping list, yet he buys it. I'll have to add it as 'NO bread' next week! We'll have the white bread toasted (croque monsieur) with ham and cheese, maybe some pieces of pineapple.

Tonight will be cauliflower chickpea curry; tomorrow will be the last of the notverynice aldi pizzas. DDs know that some items just need to be eaten, because we will not throw food out.

I'll have to see if there is enough rhubarb to make a rhubarb crumble. The rhubarb in my garden and in neighbour's garden (that I'm allowed to harvest) is not doing very well; I think it's too dry.

Mackerel and toast for lunch with a smoothie.
Quite likely take away for dinner which seems to becoming our ''treat'' each week under these strange circumstances.

SIEBRIE - Our rhubarb flowered this year - I have never seen that before, it looked like a small cauliflower - after google search we removed it, apparently they only do this when they are stressed, due to garden refurb, we moved it last year, I think that was why.

ive had a fridge sort out and have used a small stray courgette, a bit of red onion, a sad mushroom and a couple of wrinkly tomatoes to make a med veg tart for lunch, puff pastry a spoon of pesto topped with veg and mozzarella 👍

That looks delicious, IM. Are the ferries still running? If so, I’m on my way!

I wish I could make my sad fridge items look like that IM
This morning I made some banana pancakes from an Aldi recipe that's super simple. I only have 1 banana left in the freezer which is unheard of (I can't stand them once they start to get any spots so invariably ones I buy get frozen). 
Lunch was a part baked petit pain with tuna and sweetcorn mayo and some white cabbage, plus a slice of banana, rum and rolo loaf.
Not sure what dinner will be today. I am having a funny day, I'm ok when I'm doing stuff but when I'm not, my motivation just isn't there and I feel generally fed up with this whole lockdown.

A lovely lunch IM, it looks scrummy 

Our lunch was fridge leftovers to, but no where near as nice as Island Maids.  We had tomatoes, cheese and crackers some pepper and carrot dips with last of the hummus. A quick and easy tea tonight fish fingers, chip and peas.

On a positive note I went to the supermarket today and stocked up for the coming week with a few extras for the store cupboard and for the first time since lockdown I not only got everything I needed but didn’t have to substitute brands or pay through the nose for free range eggs.

It’s holiday food today, we have an octopus in the freezer, so we will have that tonight, as part of a tapas style meal, Octopus on BBQ, garlic prawns, chorizo in sherry, manchego cheese and Ham (jamon Iberico), fresh cooked bread, pardon peppers, salad, olives etc and some good wine

lunch will be pork pie and salad

Lunch will be homemade tomato soup (from frozen tomatoes) and a wartime cheese pudding and supper will be a bacon and onion Yorkshire pudding with mashed potatoes, carrots and spring greens.  Sadly there IS still rhubarb crumble left for HWK of he feels he can cope with it!
