Happy Friday!

I'm making DIY egg fried rice with whatever is left in the fridge chucked in.

House to myself which is a treat, so trying to resist the very strong urge to get a takeaway for one.. as I have no self control and eyes bigger than my stomach!

What's everyone having? I need to be inspired for tomorrow..!

Pulled pork in brioche buns, chips and corn on the cobs. The pork is in the slow cooker and the smell has been making my mouth water all afternoon!

Gousto box was delivered today, so will either be fish curry, mushroom madras, gochujang beef udon noodles, or Greek style chicken flatbreads.

Mmmm... These all sound lovely. We're having spag bol out of the freezer with cheese grated on top.

Home made chicken pie (well, the filling is homemade, I don't have the skill or enthusiasm for making my own pastry) mash, broccoli, sprouts & bisto gravy. Judge away!

Alarae · 13/09/2024 16:24

Takeaway lazy day. Mainly due to the fact I have a 40% offer on Uber Eats at the moment!

I’d like this too please!

Planesmistakenforstars · 13/09/2024 16:32

I love egg fried rice OP, I consider that better than a takeaway!
I've made some burritos. On the one hand I've made the tortillas, the refried beans and the meat filling. But on the other I'm using packet "Mexican" rice because it's better than what I make, and I'm also using those filthy slices of plastic cheese because there's nothing quite like them. I'm also making myself a margarita. Happy Friday!

RuggedHairyTortoise · 13/09/2024 16:32

Out tonight at the local Italian with family who are staying for the weekend.

Same! Although I put mine on low in the oven at 8am this morning and went to work. So easy yet delicious. Just made the dough for the rolls so that's resting for the next hour or two before I shape and pop them in the oven. My house smells wonderful 😊

frogsofbox · 13/09/2024 16:34

@Begaydocrime94 and @MintTwirl I did pulled pork earlier in the week . We are having pulled pork nachos tonight to eat up the left overs. We always buy a large piece so we can do this. Pork with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, salsa, jalapenos, cheese and tortilla chips cooked off in the oven served with sour cream and guacamole. I am so looking forward to it. It feels low effort for a Friday.

AluckyEllie · 13/09/2024 16:34

I’ve got hot wings marinating and I’ll make a blue cheese dip to go with them, it’s turned into a bit of a Friday night tradition. Yum

DarkForces · 13/09/2024 16:34

Homemade pizza and salad. Just finished the dough!
