As above. What are you having tonight?

I’ve just started cobbling together a leek and chicken pie using an assortment of freezer odds and ends.

Sausage ragu

We're going to a bring and share Christmas party. We're taking pigs in blankets. A couple of friends are African and have said they'll do traditional so looking forward to seeing what they bring! Looking forward to a nice graze.

We are north Scotland and largely missed the worst of the weather but it has rained solidly all day. We have had a cosy day watching Christmas movies!

Scampi chips and peas for the kids, cheese fondue for us!

HellofromJohnCraven · 07/12/2024 16:07

Cottage pie.

Monkeybutt1 · 07/12/2024 16:10

Chicken fajitas for us and DH is cooking so bonus

mitogoshigg · 07/12/2024 16:15

Salad - was fancying healthy food. It's warm in my house so don't really want stew

MrsH497 · 07/12/2024 16:15

Chicken ham and leek pie topped with cheesy mash and served with veg. Husband is night shift so want something I can shove in the oven and have ready when he gets up. Children may or may not eat it who knows!

@moggerhanger

Actual goat curry is delicious, I make Caribbean goat curry, authentic recipe from Jamaica.

It's is actually Goan curry you make?

@BeatriceAndLottie

That's Mondays dinner sorted, though I do cheat making risotto and put in the stock at once, it makes no difference.

Takeaway curry

UnhealthyCopingStrategies · 07/12/2024 16:27

Pork and cider casserole with baked cheesy mash and caraway cabbage.

This sounds lovely. Do you have recipe link?

I wish my DCs were more adventurous eaters!

I'm thinking takeaway. The power's been gone since last night and I'm not sure if it will be back. Also, I was away last night and I won't have time to shop and cook.

But what about the safety of the driver?! (Unless the storm has passed where you are)

Deliveries are ongoing here. Just seen Dominoes deliver to next door.

PepperoniPizzas · 07/12/2024 16:29

We're having the other half of the Chinese takeaway we ordered last night! 😋

MsXmasGGMasterTwat · 07/12/2024 16:30

I’ll be home alone for dinner. I’ve just been to Aldi to buy lobster tails and champagne truffles. So that’s my dinner. Plus 🍷.

Blueberrycreampie · 07/12/2024 16:34

Goulash, made on Thursday and now just needs heating in the oven. Mash and broccoli to go with. I'm just trying to decide if I should have a g & t beforehand. Probably will😊

ParsnipPuree · 07/12/2024 16:34

So happy to be in tonight.. very rare on a Saturday! Can't be bothered to cook so a takeaway it is!

MsXmasGGMasterTwat · 07/12/2024 16:35

Have to say that the shop was empty, probably due to the weather. I’ve got to drive later, DC1 needs a lift. No other options available. Not looking forward to it.

Mumbleitsoftly · 07/12/2024 16:35

We're getting a curry delivered. Brownies for pudding.

Crikeyalmighty · 07/12/2024 16:38

Homemade Lentil shepherd pie ( we aren't veggie but love it)

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 07/12/2024 16:40

I just finished a yummy ready meal from a posh local shop. It was creamy mash with peppered chicken and carrots. Not very big but we're off to a birthday party in a bit and there'll be nibbles and cake there.

obsessedwithfreshbread · 07/12/2024 16:40

Tacos tonight with all the sides like refried beans, Mexican rice etc
Followed by a slab of school cake, we rarely have a pudding but it I felt like baking today!

UsernameTaken76 · 07/12/2024 16:43

Fajita chicken, sweet potato fries and corn cobs. Wish we’d got a pudding in now reading some of these.
