Shit dinner thread

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?

Two fish fingers in a pita bread, some mayonnaise, pickles, tomato and lettuce.

Yes it's a shit dinner.
Once in a while is ok.

Ponder the phrase 'a while.'

Tell us what you cook every day then, Gordon Ramsay.

After thinking, shopping and cooking family meals for 18 years of which DC has been a "selective" eater for approx 17 years, your dinner looks great OP!! Absolutely nowt wrong with that and your DM needs to be a bloody sight more grateful.

I had a meal deal for dinner but am starving again! Would kill for some chicken dippers OP!

gurnerandpooch · 26/01/2024 00:26

This probably doesn't help but

I had hello fresh boxes for ages - great for whipping up a decent dinner

However - i now live alone and have health issues - a local woman does home cooked meals and delivery and that's what I do now

Saves time waste and money . Just bought an air fryer to reheat them .

Probably no help with a family but I see nothing wrong with your shit dinner !

Mine is a 10 minute tofu stir fry, a fried egg and microwave rice. If I only have to concern myself with myself, it’s instant noodles. You’ve got me beat by a mile.

@GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut her problem is with the frozen chicken dippers and Yorkshire puddings. Apparently I needed to have caught and butchered the chicken myself and whipped up a fresh Yorkshire pudding batter from scratch. No issues with the mash though as homemade lol

I have some chickens who aren't pulling their egg laying weight now I know how to incentivise them #missespointcompletely# 😂

I’m trying to use up things in the pantry and freezer. I had a marinated lamb steak of dubious vintage from the freezer and purple sauerkraut. Tbf, it was delicious, but the rest of the family went for frozen risotto.

Oh I think that looks lovely! Can't make it all out but veg, potatoes and gravy is all great isn't it

I'm just waiting for my baby (large fully grown child) to fall asleep then going to make crumpets with peanut butter for dinner

Crumpets with peanut butter? I’m going to have to try this!

Bristoluser · 26/01/2024 01:46

When I can't be bothered I have a tin of tuns with mayonnaise and a tub of ice cream or a packet of biscuits. Sometimes I have bread dipped in melted cheese or a tin of tomato soup with crisp on top. Your meal looks gourmet if you're tired!

Bristoluser · 26/01/2024 01:47

Tuna, not tuns

Nevertouchakoala · 26/01/2024 01:59

Looks fab! My lazy meal is crisps 😂

Alwaystired2023 · 26/01/2024 06:46

@custardcreme77 yes so good and makes for a more substantial meal 🤣🤣🤣

Well, when I got home I opened a tin of beans. Poured some in a container, drizzled with Worcestershire sauce and ate them. Cold!

Daffodilsandtuplips · 26/01/2024 22:39

@Deathraystare I love cold baked beans! Straight from hevtin.

Deathraystare · 28/01/2024 18:33

@Daffodilsandtuplips

I might do it again tonight!
