Shit dinner thread

[Stockinggg]

Couldn't be asked to cook today. Long day at work and just generally knackered. I thought I did pretty good rustling this up in less than 45 mins (considering I was really close to ordering takeout) but according to DM, it is a 'shit dinner.'

Any other shit dinners to share or does everyone else eat 5* gourmet 7 days a week?

Often buy the supermarket premade pigs in blankets and just have those on it's own.

I'm just sitting down to my haggis, mashed potato, and swede as well.

That is not a shit dinner!
I had scrambled eggs with cheese and tomato mixed in, slapped between 2 slices of bread.
Yesterday I had cheese and tomato toasties.
Tell your mum that you'll happily eat anything she cooks for you, but until that happens you'll eat what you want. 😁

I also cook more 'from scratch' than my mother did when I was growing up. If it didn't come out if a box we didn't eat it, unless it was a special occasion.

You put more effort into dinner than I did! Husband cooks in our house and he's away, so I chucked some pasta, brocolli, and cooked chicken into a saucepan. Then drowned it in grated cheese.

Total cooking time (including prep and plating): 15 min

bowl of cereal....i dont even like cereal

We also had Idaho mash with Ikea meatballs and peas. Yum yum. I can never be bothered to cook on a Thursday, I run out of steam

The contents of a gregs to good to go bag!

Last night’s leftover chilli on a jacket potato with grated cheese on top.

My tired shit dinner go-to is jumbo fishfingers and chips in the air fryer with mayo. I can’t even be arsed to do peas on those nights.

I chopped up and boiled the broccoli too 😩

Slight tangent but I went out for a drink with people tonight and drank more wine than I should have. I stopped at Maccy D's on the way home and had filet o fish, fries and garlic cheesy bites.

I haven't told my family and yet I'm supposed to be knocking up a haggis feast in a minute. 😬

Yup sling a pile o'beige in the oven, walk away for 20 minutes, then boil up some frozen peas, open a jar of mayo for added style. We quite like that.

I had a Greggs corned beef pasty with Branston beans. DH had two Greggs sausage rolls.

I didn't have dinner. 🤣

I did have an enormous overpriced fish finger sandwich and chips for lunch though at the pub.
Was OK but wasn't great. Nothing better than bird's-eye fish fingers in bread in my book 🤣

I also had a lazy meal. Supermarket preprepared cous cous and a salad box with fancy chicken dippers. Aldi something or other in tempura batter they were nice.

I had 2 rounds of cheese sandwiches with a squirt of salad cream and ready salted crisps inside. White bread obvs

Homemade Cauliflower cheese (without cheese in the sauce-prepped yesterday), a handful of salt and pepper fries which I love, chucked into the airfryer, with a small side salad with lettuce, tomatoes and grated carrot. Not forgetting a copious amount of Heinz tomato ketchup. And two glasses of Pinot.

Phwoar, that sounds like a fantastic sandwich combo.

I had a meat pie from Lidl.

Aldi fake s&v squares (very peculiar) and a yum yum

Oooh one of my fave comfort meals (basically anything with mash!)

I had the fish fingers DS didn't want for dinner, the shaved heel of a chunk of posh sheep's cheese that's just too nice to chuck out, the end of a bag of salted peanuts, one chicken tikka skewer that needed eating and a pack of cherries.

I'm finishing what's in the fridge before we go shopping and am severely lacking in inspiration. I'm calling it tapas.

It is Thursday.
It is January.
It is cold and wet.
You did a brilliant job.
Who else is cooking dinner tomorrow?

I'm planning on that for breakfast, dunked in home made cranberry sauce from Christmas. I still have eight jars.

Ordered a pasta bake from the supermarket as a treat (don’t usually eat meat, dairy or gluten but really fancied it), was sooo looking forward to it. Wasn’t available, no substitutes available apparently, so I had “sag aloo pie” and salmon. The “pie” bit turned out to be mash like a fish pie, not pastry. More disappointment. It was fine, if all a bit mushy, but it wasn’t beef mince, real pasta and melted cheese 😭😭
