If you could eat anything?

DH and DC are away for a few days this week to visit family. I am so excited to be able to eat what I like for a few nights without thinking about who will eat what etc.

If you were home alone what would you have for dinner?

I wouldn't want to waste my precious alone time cooking so I'd go crusty bread, loads of butter and cheese, various pickles/chutneys and a massive glass of wine 🤤

Maddy70 · 28/05/2023 14:06

Cheese biscuits and port

AuntieDolly · 28/05/2023 14:07

Salmon, new potatoes and asparagus

I’d roast a small chicken and have it with all the trimmings (bought pre-prepared so can just chuck in the oven) on day one, then have the leftovers the next couple of days with salad, crusty bread, pickles etc.

Spicy homemade curry. Because I’m the only one in the family who loves spice and always have to cook one without chilli.

GoGoJasonWaterfalls · 28/05/2023 14:26

Dominos every time because DH hates it. Or lots of picky bits (meats, cheeses, olives, hummus, bread etc...)

I always get a ‘nice’ supermarket pizza when I am home alone. Deliveroo something the second night- usually sushi or chicken.

I absolutely hate cooking for one. I also hate housework, so minimal dishes and cleaning required.

When Dh and dc are away, I often have a Waitrose curry with naan because they’re quite nice for a ready meal curry (and the petrol station closest to us sells them because shop is a Little Waitrose).

This time of year, I’d be inclined to have pan fried fish or prawns/scallops with garlic butter, crusty bread, aioli and salad or asparagus.

Peanut butter and jam sandwich, chocolate milk.

TellKingTutIWantMyMummy · 28/05/2023 14:35

Nachos.

ODFOx · 28/05/2023 14:46

This week? Asparagus is still in season so I'd eat that for every meal.
Good bread, good cheese, eggs.
Simple but tasty food. Probably a pot of celeriac soup to go with the cheese as DH isn't keen so I rarely bother when he's here.

MakeYourself · 28/05/2023 14:48

I'd get some pitta, dips, cheeses, olives, nice tomatoes 🙌

RabbitsRock · 28/05/2023 14:51

Ooh how to choose? Probably a Chinese delivered as I love it but DH isn’t really a fan. Something like duck in plum sauce with egg fried rice & some of those prawn toasts. Yummy!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 28/05/2023 14:54

Nachos or Buffalo Wings.

MidnightMeltdown · 28/05/2023 14:57

Chinese takeaway

Missingmyusername · 28/05/2023 15:01

Salad, nachos, vegan salsa, pot salad, bread, wine, vegan sausage rolls and sorbets because DH steals my food 😂

SageRosemary · 28/05/2023 15:41

Omelette
Scrambled eggs with chives or scallions
Chicken, onion, mayo on brown soda bread
Stir-fry
Salmon
Soup whichever way you like it
Chess with crackers and grapes - cheddar, Cashel Blue or Brie
Mini quiche from M&S

lljkk · 28/05/2023 15:41

Baked beans & Doritos.
Lots of mayo on Romaine lettuce with tuna or prawns.

JadeSeahorse · 28/05/2023 15:47

Fish and chips from the chippie followed by loads of cake and chocolate. (Then I'd be on the Fast 800 diet for a week 😂)
