Suddenly on my own for tea...what should I have?

[ToooOldForThis]

Unexpectedly rid of my kids for a couple of hours...going to watch a film and eat something nice...but what?!
I don't want to cook (much) but really don't like carry outs and ready meals are always disappointing...
Is there anything easy / decadent I could rustle up?! I'm needing to pop out anyway so happy to grab ingredients!

I'm unexpectedly alone too. I'm having mushrooms in peppercorn sauce on thick sliced garlic toast.

I'd definitely have a macaroni cheese.

I'm not sure if this is because I no longer eat dairy and fantasise about it or if it's actually THAT good.

What about a Wagamama takeout? It's less takeaway than most.

Chip butty, white wine, brownie!

Sourdough, avocado and poached egg.

With wine.

@Poledra your fish pie spoke to me!
Sounds extremely sad but I've got some lovely fish cakes and a fancy packet of green veg (no peeling no chopping!)

And of course, wine, crisps, hummus and a creme egg for the win

Oh and 2 big stuffed mushrooms for with my fish
Is there a pig emoji ?

King prawn fried rice that’s my huge treat.

I'm always have chilli prawn pasta. Garlic and chilli lightly fried in olive oil, large handful of halved cherry toms and gluttonous amounts of king prawns then stir though fresh pasta. Serves with a green salad and a large glass of chilled white wine. Posh chocolate for desert. Yum

Mini cheeseboard, charcuterie and olives, dry white wine out of M&S.

Sounds lush op. Enjoy!

@mumofone234

Rotisserie chicken, focaccia bread, olives, salad, etc. All you have to do is put it on a plate! Yum.

This is what I'd eat for maximum pleasure and minimum effort.

Beans on toast. quick and easy and only a couple of pots to wash

@bigyellowTpot so good and so underrated. Though I’d add cheese under the beans for maximum pleasure.

[quote midds3]@HunterHearstHelmsley aren't they all sold out now?

I usually go for what @dancemom has suggested when it's just me. Also take the opportunity to indulge in a few treats without having to share with the kids. [/quote]
That's what I read but my local has them! Waiting for delivery along with a salted caramel McFlurry. As you can tell, I'm a classy bird.

For my decadent lunch today, I had a yummy mixed olive crusty roll and baked Camembert cheese.

@Benjispruce5 oh yes adding the cheese sounds great I could just eat that myself now. Or maybe the heinz beans and sausage instead of just beans.

Crispy jacket potato, big salad, avocado, olives.

Champagne and blinis for me! I always have this in stock for these wonderful occasions!

How do you make your sauce please?

Crackers and Cheese

I’m now wanting to evict my entire family and have exactly what I want all by my lonesome!

I’m having king prawns with chilli and garlic butter stirred into pasta. Quick and easy but a favourite.

I'll have what she's having!

Is anyone else invested on whether @HunterHearstHelmsley gets their chicken Big Mac?!

Crisps and dip and a chocolate orange.
I wouldn't waste any calories on actual food if no-one was watching me
