What's for dinner tonight? Takeaway, out or cooking?

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..!

We've just decided we're having a Chinese takeaway. Going to try a new place tonight- fingers crossed it'll be good.

Curry tonight!

Oven fish and chips - properly lazy but DC love it, and much cheaper than real fish and chips 😁

Spent most of the day in hospital for investigations so dinner via m and s. Pizza for then, green godess salad and prawns for me. Lots of fruit boxes too.

TheTempest · 13/09/2024 17:28

We are having a selection of beige that I’ve dug out of the freezer! I really can’t be bothered to cook and I can barely eat anything so takeaways are pretty wasted on me!

Tacos with Kansas style bbq beef brisket ans burnt ends plus a variety of sides (salad, sweetcorn, rice, tortilla chips, black beans) and toppings (sour cream, cheese, pickles, slaw)

The children requested pizza from Domino's which I find revolting so I'm having chicken, dauphinous and green beans.

Salmon, baby potatoes and frozen mixed veg

Rowansiskin · 13/09/2024 17:34

Off to Wagamama. DD’s treat as she’s moving into uni halls tomorrow.

thebastardsgotme · 13/09/2024 17:38

chilli - and it's nearly ready

Pizza, with red onion, black olive and anchovies…I love anchovies, though I know they divide a crowd. It will taste even better because it’s being made by my DH as well. So all I have to do right now is drink rum and pick the songs we’re doing on karaoke later. Cheers ladies, hope you’re all having a good one tonight, it’s felt like a long week and we deserve a break 🥂

Fresh Hake in a white breadcrumb for me and DS, frozen fish for DH because he doesn't like fresh fish! Homemade chips and mushy peas.

Not sure yet, I fancy spaghetti bolognaise but CBA making it 🤦‍♀️

I need a nice recipe for pulled pork please! We tried it once and weren’t keen but I can’t remember why. I think it might have been too sweet.

I love this recipe by Taming Twins, the DC always ask for it if they’re home for the weekend from uni.

Slow cooker pulled pork

Slow Cooked Pulled Pork {ULTIMATE recipe!}

Slow Cooked Pulled Pork can be made in the oven or slow cooker, resulting in deliciously tender, shredded meat with a delicate BBQ sauce.

Dishoom's black dahl with frozen parathas.

IKnowAristotle · 13/09/2024 17:45

Chippy tea

lucysmam · 13/09/2024 17:45

Cooking here.

Lemon chicken orzo with fresh bread 😋. Nuggets, noodles and peas for dd2 who's as fussy as they come 🤷‍♀️. She'll eat the bread too.

We’re feeling autumnal so we’ve made macaroni cheese with spring onions and prosciutto, and a pumpkin spice cake to have with a cup of tea later.

Practically zero calories too 😳

mamaduckbone · 13/09/2024 17:49

Dh's homemade pizzas 🍕😋

I was thinking how is mac n cheese autumnal, until I saw the spice cake dessert 😂 I don't think mixed spice and cheese would be a pleasant combination!

I just make it in bulk, use for lasagne the nxt day, and huge tub in freezer for another spag bol, or lasagne another time. It does take 800-1 kg of mince, and about 7 tins of tomatoes!

Bigboysmademedoit · 13/09/2024 17:53

Large sirloins (from the freezer), beer battered chips, mushrooms, sweetcorn and carrots.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 13/09/2024 17:53

Lemon, sesame chicken stir fry with noodles and green beans.

Cheesecakelunch · 13/09/2024 17:56

Take away. Possibly eaten in bed as I am overworked, grumpy and unwell.

Raveonette · 13/09/2024 17:57

I've made a huge pot of daal - enough to put a couple of dinners' worth in the freezer. So we'll have that, with rice, naan and mango chutney. It's a family favourite!
