DH is cooking a lamb chilli because it feels so cold and wintery here (raining ALL day) with wedges and rice. I'll be opening a nice bottle of Malbec as soon as DS is in bed and I think we've decided on Empire of Light for a film. How about everyone else?

I made chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka naga bhuna from scratch (different heat
tolerances in the house!). Eaten with a Pinot gris and some rubbish comedy on Netflix plus the antics of two kittens for entertainment.

Two cheese cobs. Debating doing packing. Can't motivate myself.

DH picked up fish & chips from our local (excellent) chippy and had a couple of glasses of rose wine with it. But I am not feeling 100% so couldn't manage it all .. unheard of for me, hope I am not going to be ill, feeling very cold and had to dig out a thick, winter cardigan!
I'm quite enjoying World on Fire although DH hates it ... as he's been watching cricket & golf all day he's happy reading tonight.

PhoebePhalange · 22/07/2023 20:15

dh made hm pizzas for tea, had a bottle of beer to go with it, and I've asked him to watch the notebook with me tonight 🤣🙈

Vetoncall · 22/07/2023 20:17

Fish tacos and The Bear here 👍

LazyLeopard · 22/07/2023 20:21

@IHeartGeneHunt what is VHS?

@Ragwort i hope you’re feeling better soon! It’s been ages since we had chippy chips.

I thought we had an Indian snack selection in the freezer, but can’t find it.. gutted!!

Kanelsnegl · 22/07/2023 20:23

Shouldn't have read this as now very jealous.
8 months pregnant so couldn't be bothered to cook and husband is out for the evening. I had some cream crackers and cheddar and cucumber and a lovely glass of sparkling water with elderflower cordial. I do have some watermelon in the fridge and chocolate ice cream in the freezer for later though
Oh and watching mamma mia 2

Ceraunophile · 22/07/2023 20:24

Lasagne and salad, glass of red. Currently playing game of life then going to read once dc in bed

ResponsibleWalrus · 22/07/2023 20:24

We've got a tartiflette in the oven because it's miserable here. We're watching Grace and Frankie. We've just subscribed to Netflix and have realised there are loads of sitcoms we've been missing.

gogomoto · 22/07/2023 20:24

Pasta (filled) with jar of pesto and the leftover rocket, I know gourmet or what! Watching stuff on the sky box recorded ages ago, too wet to bother going to the pub

Purplemoons · 22/07/2023 20:25

We had homemade burger with homemade fries and salad. Now I’m lying in bed with a peppermint tea deciding what to watch.

MooFroo · 22/07/2023 20:27

Eating airfryer Chicken DH is cooking

Elphame · 22/07/2023 20:28

Spinach and chickpea bake with more spinach and some sweetcorn.

Nice bottle of Pinot Grigio, a couple of dogs cuddled up and I'll finish my book once my iPad has finished charging.

Perfect Saturday night in

NatWestPigFamily · 22/07/2023 20:28

DH is away, I let the kids choose their dinner, fish fingers and chicken dippers with chips, baked beans and salad. I had a prawn layer pasta salad from M&S. We are watching Matilda the musical on Netflix with sweets and popcorn and a big glass of Pinot Grigio for me, snuggled under blankets.

Basa fillet shallow fried in butter and parsley and American skillet potatoes made with Jersey Royals. 30 minutes.

InSpainTheRain · 22/07/2023 20:34

DH and me cooked a Mindful Chef pasta and prawns dish together, then watched Chris Packham's "Earth" programme. Now relaxing in the 🛁 whilst DH clears up the kitchen. Love him!!

Nagado · 22/07/2023 20:36

DH has had a kebab wrap with chilli sauce and I’ve had hot home made mini Korkers sausage rolls with a portion of chips from the kebab shop. Harry Potter is on tv in the background and we’re both faffing about on our phones, making plans for winter and Christmas, while DH tries to get me to admire his new putter.

SanFranciscoCalling · 22/07/2023 20:37

Kebabs from the local takeaway and they were lovely! We're watching Independence Day Resurgence and I'm working my way through a lovely Aldi Sauv Blanc!

Twwodoorsaway · 22/07/2023 20:40

Steak and mushroom here with home grown new potatoes, first of the crop. A nice bottle of french Sauvignon now open whilst catching up on 24 hours in police custody.

Therealjudgejudy · 22/07/2023 20:41

We had pie, mash, mixed veg and gravy for dinner.

Im watching Death in Paradise (my go to comfort programme).

Made a butter chicken curry, we drank champagne (it’s our 10 year anniversary) 😊

Ruby Murray and Darts 🎯 here

dontgobaconmyheart · 22/07/2023 20:43

Nothing exciting! We had vegan burgers with fries (beyond burger, apparently the same one they use in the mcplant at mcdonalds). I'm not vegan but DP is so it's nice to have the same thing sometimes.

We played a game of scrabble and had a catch up and some homemade browni and Ben & Jerry's. He's now watching Succession. I'm more of a reader and don't generally watch TV so am in the snug (spare room) with a book and a candle on since it feels like autumn.

TellySavalashairbrush · 22/07/2023 20:43

Treated myself to fish and chips (first time in over a year) was great until I almost choked on a massive fish bone 🤮 which put me off.
ao now it’s coffee and a good book.
