What would you eat for dinner if you had a rare night home alone?

[CarolinaWeeper]

DH is out tomorrow which is a rarity and I'm really looking forward to having a night in to myself, chilling out and watching what I want on TV. I'll need dinner and can't decide what to have. Takeaway is an option, cooking is an option but nothing too time consuming as I'll have beem t work all day.

What would you make? Please inspire me!

I'm doing it now. I have made a tofu + prawn stir fry - new idea but it's delicious if i do say so myself. Also plenty of wine and I picked up a bag of something like 'chocolate and salted caramel' nuts from M&S. I'd be more specific but it's in the kitchen and I can't be bothered to get up.

A bacon and tomato sandwich on toasted sourdough. With some salt and vinegar crisps on the side.

Jacket potato, cheese,

I always buy a fish pie, OH can't stand fish, or the smell of it so I don't buy it generally.

Cheese on toast .
I love it , DH doesn't ...

I'd order a Chinese takeaway - chicken with cashew nuts and yellow bean sauce with egg fried rice and crispy seaweed... yum!

So, I had baked camembert with garlic and honey, crusty bread, onion chutney and two glasses of red wine. Followed by crisps and some sweets! Feel sick now but I regret nothing .

😄😄 glad to hear it!

I’m lucky in that my DH loves food just as much as I do and is a great cook too so we eat very well indeed as a matter of routine.

But there’s something really nice about sitting down on your own to eat something that’s ALL FOR YOU!

Would have bottle of Prosecco for dinner, if they ever left me alone for an evening 🙄😂

Either a picky tea (nice bread, olives, cheese etc., which no one else would class as a proper meal) or mushroom risotto - lots of butter, lots of Parmesan, big glass of white wine whilst stirring it.

@omgthepain

I'd order duck snd pancakes from the Chinese and have the whole lot to myself 🤣

Or this.

Good choice OP

Great decision, OP. My meal is choice when I'm alone is a bowl of curry flavour supernoodles, a tube of Pringles and a packet of jazzies (white chocolate buttons with 100s and 1000s on top). All stuff DH sneers at and would be horrified to know I'd had it in the house.

Great decision OP!

I might have been swung by the recent crispy duck pancakes suggestion, but can't get them here

A massive toad in the hole, filled with brussel sprouts and onion gravy. Heaven.

Baked beans on tiger bread with plenty of better.

Toasted tiger bread, obviously

Toast
Or a marks and Spencer ready meal

** has to be the marks & Spencer. Macaroni

Steak with pasta and mushroom and asparagus cream sauce! Steak is too expensive for 5 of us, so we rarely eat it, but if I'm on my own, well, it's a fiver very well spent

I'd either go to M&S or Cook and treat myself to a posh ready meal (most things taste better when you haven't cooked them yourself) - or I'd make something simple, creamy / cheesy at home (the kind of foods that I love but DH hates, so I don't often make them).

You need to try the m & s “ best ever” range macaroni cheese

I do a thing with curried beans. DH really doesn't like it. It's my first choice if he's not eating with me. I always have the ingredients in.

Ready meal. If I'm on my own I see it as an opportunity to not have to properly cook. Although I will get one of the posher ones from M&S or the high end supermarket range.

I'd order in a Chinese or Indian and then eat it in front of the tv with my pjs on 😍
