If I turned up for dinner without any notice?

[JackThayer]

What would you rustle me up? Too late to go to the shops on Sunday so has to be what you already have in.

We're having fajitas, so I'd bung in more veg and sides. Online shop came this morning so I could do most things apart from a roast

If you were a family member or friend who I really like and wanted to stay i could do you a roast with pork and potatoes and peas. Or a dinner fry. Or various pasta dishes from store cupboard items or a stir fry. And various batch cooked dinners in the freezer (bolognese, curry) or frozen chips and fish fingers!

Cheese sandwiches and vanilla flavoured Keffir.

And when I say I mean my husband

I’ve got some sea bass in the freezer, so fish, whatever green veg is lurking around the drawer and a quick pilaf.

I’ve got a Lidl’s hot chocolate fudge cake in the freezer but wouldn’t share that sorry 😂

Mmmm burritos.

Nothing to add, just.... yummy,

What are marry me sausages?

We're pretty well stocked for a Sunday and I've already been to the shop for milk. There's lots of wine too.

Leftover takeaway curry tonight, but there's no extras for unexpected guests.
I could rustle up mushroom risotto or harissa butter bean soup.

I’ve got some homemade curries in the freezer which is serve with rice and naan. Probably make a raita.

But I’d have to send you to the garage for some beers….

@Funkyslippers these (brown the sausages really well)
The sauce made me do a happy dance when I first tasted it

Short shrift.

My main meal on a Sunday and any day I wfh is at lunchtime. You'd get a sandwich and I've got plenty of fruit to choose from.

I’m cooking roast chicken at the moment so could make that stretch to feed an extra. I’d ply you with wine first in the hope you wouldn’t notice if the portions were a bit measly. Ice cream or more wine for pudding.

DS has got into a really bad habit of asking if his girlfriend/friend can have dinner when it’s already 90% cooked so I’m getting quite good at making things stretch to feed an extra mouth.

@CorporaINobbyNobbs So how would you ascertain who was at the door before making that decision?

Would it be a peer from behind the upstairs curtains or would you crawl along the hall corridor to listen behind the door?

or other.... maybe checking the ring camera footage first?

@viccat

What time should I arrive?

shall I bring wine? Dessert? Cheese?

@fiddlesticksandotherwords

i remember your thread!!

You'd get a roast. Everyone else will get one less roast potato and because I'm nice I'd give you my Yorkshire pudding.

Half my chicken casserole from last night (cold). Soup from the freezer (take your pick - cauliflower, mushroom, celeriac), or what's left of the pepper and tomato soup I made the other day. If you don't fancy that, sardines on toast.

Chickpea curry with wholegrain rice.

Well anyone who knows me well knows I might not answer the door so they’d be persistent and maybe call to say they are outside! Or else as you say ring doorbell!

Spag bol. Or some sort of salmon pasta or veggie pasta if you don't eat meat.

We ate at lunchtime but there’s enough food for you too - chicken escalope, broad beans, peas and runner beans with new potatoes. Vienetta for pud?

Some microwave pesto pasta pouches fro Aldi with Peperami slices, one protein thin bagel, crunchy peanut butter and I've got a bag or mild salad in the fridge

For dessert, your choice of mango protein yoghurt or a double chocolate protein pudding

Washed down with sparkling Sainsbury's Apple & Elderflower flavoured water or copious amounts of Pepsi Max

You can have a hummus pitta bread, a cheese pitta bread or a tuna pitta bread. Or any of the above options on a jacket potato

I think I've got some pasta so can probably manage a macaroni/spaghetti cheese or a
plain carbonara

Right the lasagne is done so you can have that
