I was lying here thinking about what to make for dinner (I really wanted to make a tuna pasta bake but I forgot to buy mushrooms) and now I can't stop thinking about the cheese toast and tomato soup I ate this week, It was home made soup (not by me!) and FUCKING TREMENDOUS and I just know it won't taste half as good if I make it!

Cheese fondue at a local restaurant, served with cornichons, cubes of sourdough bread and crispy roast potatoes.

We have it about 4 times a year, but I honestly think I could eat it every week.

I've just had a smoked mackerel and potato salad with green beans and spring onions, lemony vinaigrette dressing. For something so simple it was obscenely delicious!

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 25/07/2025 17:58

@DollopOfFun (you could change your name to DollopOfFundue!) yum! It’s just occurred to me that in my thirty something years of life, I’ve never had cheese fondue! I should change that!

@PeachTrifle yum! That is always the most fantastically underrated combo

Nothing of note, but am intrigued as to why you can't have tuna pasta bake without mushrooms? Surely pasta, tuna, sweetcorn, sauce, cheese is all you need?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 25/07/2025 18:00

Salmon, Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes and Caper pasta with Boursin making the sauce. Amazing

ExquisiteSocialSkills · 25/07/2025 18:01

A Nicoise salad with our own potatoes, green beans and tomatoes. Eggs boiled to perfection, naice anchovies, just awesome.

A whole chicken with veggies and Moroccan seasoning boiling away.

Then take the chicken out cover it in butter and put it in the air fryer to crisp.

I’m in Spain and last night ate a timbale of ratatouille vegetables in a reduced tomato sauce with olive oil caviar and a sprinkle of sea salt. Delicious!

Made some jerk pork meatballs from a Gousto recipe, but bulked it out with chickpeas, more red peppers and more gravy - insanely delicious.

Cereal Milk cookies from Waitrose - so sweet but so good.

A steak done on a proper grill, rare, bearnaise sauce and a rocket and Parmesan salad on the side.

missb10 · 25/07/2025 18:09

Last night I made sauteed potatoes, fried eggs and baked beans, simple but delicious.

Friendlyuntilitwasnt · 25/07/2025 18:10

My favourite this week was actually leftovers i did a green salad with leftover tuna mayo, pasta salad and flatbreads. I was really tired and thankful not to have to make anything. Everyone including dc who has afrid and asd ate it all (quite a miracle). So perhaps it was a combination of Everyone eating it, minimal prep and minimal pots to wash.

Jamfirstest · 25/07/2025 18:12

Chicken wraps - my friend does it with her kids. Chicken breast oven baked in a Nando’s kit with tortilla wraps and salad and metro sauce. I thought it would be too spicy but the DDs loved it and want it every week!

Pinkwineandpinksofa · 25/07/2025 18:12

Also in Spain. The most amazing bruschetta that made me stink of garlic for two days!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 25/07/2025 18:13

Freshly picked blackberries.

Keroppi · 25/07/2025 18:13

I can't ever get sick of sourdough toast. It's the best every time

RainSoakedNights · 25/07/2025 18:14

I’ve got toast, beans, eggs and sausages for dinner.

They’re just all my favourite bits of a fry up, but a bit healthier because I air fried the sausages and poached the eggs!

BCBird · 25/07/2025 18:15

Toby Carvery yesterday unplanned.

BCBird · 25/07/2025 18:16

Ooh love a poached egg

SweetFancyMoses · 25/07/2025 18:16

Chicken laksa soup from Pret. I love it.

MeAndMyGhost · 25/07/2025 18:17

M&S marmite pizza, reduced to £1.25. Thought it was worth a punt - and it was!

ItsFridayIminLoveJS · 25/07/2025 18:18

Must admit is was a cream scone. Assembled at home so just as I like it, but can’t help thinking of that old phrase: a minute on your lips a lifetime on your hips!

Mydahliasareshit · 25/07/2025 18:18

Ocado had the huge Natoora ripe peaches just at perfection and Daylesford organic blueberry yogurt on a flash sale, so into my basket they went. Made a massive overnight oats which was stunning with some good coffee.
