What are you making for dinner?

that sounds easy enough for me to do!!!  (although I hate peeling pumpkins/squash...)

I'm going for incredibly simple tonight.  chicken thighs on the bbq & lettuce and tomatoes in a salad.  I know I've got thousand island and caesar dressing in the cupboard.  if OH wants any starch/carbs I've one pack of oatcakes left.

OH has also proposed cooking a game stew - diced hearts, kidneys and meat with some aunt bessies dumplings popped in at the end.  Hope I don't have to clean up after that - there's no concept of tidying throughout the production process and there's likely to be flour on every surface including the light fixtures.  Mucky pup!

I made sod all

Worked late ( very late ) the other day so got a Chinese take out. There was enough left over for tonight with a couple of those tiny spring rolls I fished out of the freezer to eek it out

I bought a lovely-looking joint of beef from Aldi on Friday (I do like their meat, the quality is always great - I’ve never had a bad piece). It cost a tenner which is quite pricey but it’s a very decent size and I reckon I will get at least eight portions of main meals plus a couple of rounds of lunchtime sandwiches out of it, so per capita/per meal it’s quite reasonable.

It’s roast beef tonight with all the trimmings (roast potatoes, carrots from the garden, runner beans from the garden via the freezer, home made Yorkshire puddings and gravy).

A couple of slices will be shredded and added to sliced onions, peppers and chillis to make fajita wraps tomorrow.

A few thin slices will be carved off for beef salad sandwiches for lunches on at least two days (I’m back to working a couple of days a week in the office again now, so on this days lunches need to be easier than the ones I can do while working from home!)

On Tuesday and Wednesday we’ll have the rest of it diced and made into beef Madras curry (probably with some added chunks of potato to stretch it a bit). I’ve got a pack of veg samosas in the freezer, and plenty of cook-your-own poppadoms to go with it.

MIL’s 90th birthday, took her to lunch, very nice roast, she’s knackered, just dropped her off for a little ‘eye rest’ and we’re now feet up watching Bridget Jones 👍

Honking big pork chops from our pork guy and a squash.  Butternut or acorn??  Will look to see if there's any yorkies in the freezer as they're always nice.  And as the chops will be done on the bbq it will be easy to co-ordinate.

Looks amazing! All of it 

Tonight we are having meatballs, pasta and cheese. I had pork mince in so I added a small amount of breadcrumbs, seasonings then formed into balls. They are in the fridge for later. I’ll make a hidden veg sauce with tomatoes, carrots, red pepper
