Has anyone else been horribly lazy about dinner today?

Ive just fed my children pesto pasta, a punnet of strawberries and three celebration chocolates each for dinner.

Feeling utterly exhausted tonight and just went for a quiet easy life. Even stirring in the pesto seemed an uphill struggle Grin

You did better than I did - sent DH out for Chinese. Yum

bowchickawowwoww · 13/07/2021 20:10

Yep! I ordered a subway

SillyBub · 13/07/2021 20:13

Burgers, potato waffles and baked beans.

It was supposed to be burgers, home made spicy potato wedges and a great big salad.

I just could not be arsed. It was a true 'fuck it' dinner.

Kids bloody loved it.

A packet of chicken noodles and some strawberries and some garlic bread. Why are we all exhausted? I've just banged my backside on the wooden bed too for extra good luck...wish I could just go to sleep...

RoseMartha · 13/07/2021 20:16

We had pesto pasta with broccoli too. I added lardons to the dc's and they had garlic bread with theirs.

LemonRoses · 13/07/2021 20:17

Better than us. It was sunny. We went swimming and then decided we couldn’t be bothered to cook so had bar food sitting looking at the sea.

ForCluckSake · 13/07/2021 20:17

Yep we had eggy bread for tea.

scottmichael · 13/07/2021 20:18

Yep! Chicken goujons (definitely not homemade) and wraps.

Lovelydovey · 13/07/2021 20:19

Mashed potato (which I did make), frozen veg and leftover roast chicken warmed up in gravy. Did the job but nowt special.

They did have leftover homemade ice cream for pudding which made up for it…

BoysTownGang · 13/07/2021 20:21

Yep!!
Had a KFC from Deliveroo!!
It was bloody lovely… and the Ddog was in the garden chasing flies, so I got to eat a meal without a snout inches from the food 🍗🍟

icecreamgirl94 · 13/07/2021 20:22

DP had his appendix out on Sunday so we’ve been a bit all over the place. He asked for alphabetti spaghetti on toast for tea tonight. He’s 27 😂

MichelleScarn · 13/07/2021 20:23

Yep! Dug through fridge and did what I'll call a 'ploughman's....'

No deliveroo or the like here 😪 coming soon apparently!

BillyRaywasapreachersson · 13/07/2021 20:25

Went out for pizza. Truly CBA today.

Blessex · 13/07/2021 20:26

Kids are away so deliveroo here Grin

pastadog · 13/07/2021 20:30

i had doritos for dinner Grin

thinkingaboutitall · 13/07/2021 20:31

Me! I have only just became eligible for the vaccine so had it today, that’s my excuse !

BoysTownGang · 13/07/2021 20:39

@MichelleScarn

Deliveroo is the invention of the devil!!😁
You will regret/love the day it gets to your area, depending on your bank balance and laziness!!

My KFC arrived piping hot, just 15 mins after I ordered it, and the youngster who brought it was lovely and polite!!

You will rue the day you get Deliveroo 😁

rainbowfairydust · 13/07/2021 20:44

I got so excited last night about adding some ready prepared mash potato and roast potatoes to a food order! Just can't be arsed at the moment, end of term, warmer weather, crawling baby.... But equally fed up of frozen food for an easy night so treated us to some ready prepared lamb in a tin and some ready made mash along with gravy and veg. Felt like a posh ready meal!!!

Mammyloveswine · 13/07/2021 20:45

Husband ordered a takeaway for him and eldest DC, youngest finished nursery a week before everyone else so is at grandparents for a few days as no childcare!

I had a meal replacement bar and some smoked salmon with bagged salad leaves (I'm doing the exante diet 😭).

Tomorrow will be a "party tea" of shop bought sandwiches, crisps, berries, cherry tomatoes and party rings as I have staff meeting and don't get home until after 5!

MissCalamity · 13/07/2021 20:56

That doesn't sound too bad at all!

We've had chicken strips and oven chips for tea, I always do the food shop on a Wednesday so it's normally "Crap Tea Tuesday" for us. 😆

boathemianrhapsody · 13/07/2021 20:58

Me! We went out for a pub dinner. I wish I had enough money to hire a cook, I hate cooking!

Violet1988 · 13/07/2021 21:01

Mine had potatoe waffles with cheese melted on, and a fried egg and tomato sauce for dipping. It was a weird pregnancy craving I decided to indulge the whole family in. I do usually cook!

Labradabradorable · 13/07/2021 21:02

Yup. It was late when I finished a deluge of admin. I normally cook from scratch but today we had toasted seedy bagels, scrambled eggs and gravadlax. It was bloody lovely!

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 13/07/2021 21:06

We had McDonald's, but only because DS2 suggested it. At least I don't have to shop for dinner tomorrow, we'll just have what was going to be tonight's dinner. Grin
