We were going to get a Chinese but I've injured my jaw. Currently dosed up on co codamol and trying to think of something for dinner that doesn't involve much chewing Sad

DC's 2 and 3 are having fish and chips with grandparents. I'm taking dc1 to football and he will have his when we get back. By the time I get them in bed and do all the things I need to do it will be around 9pm. I will either have toast or not bother. Dh is away for work. At least the DC's will have a nice tea!!

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 14/02/2019 16:39

Dunno yet - DH is bringing something in from work (we own a restaurant), so night off the cooking for me. I'm not a big Valentine's Day "celebrater" either but DH is so I kinda get guilted into it.

Happierlife · 14/02/2019 16:43

Omelet and chips for one

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 14/02/2019 16:43

And booze of course - hoping for a bottle of champagne (or champagne method sparking wine) - it protects your brain from dementia apparently (so research published last week says) - so I prescribe you all a bottle a week (and not just for Valentine's Day.

Frozen Morrison's sweet and sour chicken and rice . I'm at work .

UsernameTaken76 · 14/02/2019 16:47

Lamb chops with roasties and cabbage, green beans , asparagus & tenderstem cooked with bacon and lots of gravy with mint sauce!! Can’t wait as we haven’t this for ages and really fancied it when we did the Meal Plan. DH will cook a fancier meal at the weekend as he enjoys cooking.

Shockers · 14/02/2019 16:49

We’ve just had a romantic bowl of veg stew in the canteen of the hospital that DD’s in.

We toasted one another with our Perspex glasses of water...

golddustwomen · 14/02/2019 16:49

Usually my oh cooks steak on Valentine's Day but he's been working crazy hours this week so I said I'd cook something of his choice. He chose lasagne, salad and coleslaw!

Chocolateheaven123 · 14/02/2019 16:50

We don't do Valentine's Day but still having a night off from cooking to celebrate Grin my DP is picking up pizzas and a chocolate pudding. No wine as I'm pregnant.

notacooldad · 14/02/2019 16:51

Garlic stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon with garlic and herb new potatoes and veggies followed by banoffee pie for me and chocolate fudge cake for DH

toomuchfaster · 14/02/2019 17:29

I've just had a cheese and tomato sandwich with DD. DH will feed himself later when he gets in from work. We 'celebrated' with Thai Tapas yesterday for lunch while DD was at school!

Mmmhmmokdear · 14/02/2019 18:13

I've just had some leftover lamb & couscous as DH has The Proper Flu, diagnosed by a doctor and everything and he's been in bed all day.

ohtheholidays · 14/02/2019 18:51

We went out for Valentines Day,we went to Miller and Carters.

We had the bread board platter(we never eat half of our main meal in there if we go for starters)

Then we both had rump steak,I had mine with Bordelaise sauce(that was gorgeous)skin on fries,garlic button mushrooms,onion loaf and a wedge salad with grana padano and a garlic dressing

My DH had the same except he had a black garlic and porchini mushroom sauce(that tasted amazing as well)and a blue cheese Caesar with his wedge salad.

Then we finished with an Indulgent sharing board
Glazed giant marshmallows, salted caramel profiteroles, raspberry sugar mini doughnuts, chocolate brownie, fruit skewers and toffee and chocolate sauces for dipping it was amazing.

Because were both still stuffed we haven't eaten tonight but my DH has bought our 5DC posh burgers and served them with lots of sides and he did them all hot chocolate fudge brownie cake with cream and strawberries for afterwards,I think they all enjoyed they're meals as much as we enjoyed ours.

TheGonnagle · 14/02/2019 18:58

Chippy and Sauvignon.

NameChangeNugget · 14/02/2019 19:00
