I’m doing chicken (peri peri and jerk as kids wont eat jerk and I don’t like peri peri)
salad and slaw and sweet potato fries (for two) jacket spuds for the other two and broccoli and corn on the cob.

we concur on strawberries and cream for pudding.

does anyone else have to deal with minor adjustment bullshit when cooking? DH is doing it all btw I’m just hot, grumpy and thinking ‘just piss off and eat a bloody jacket potato’ while they moan about what they will and won’t eat…

It was rather nice and enough left for another meal 😋

I was inspired by your dinner and ended up having pasta and red pesto. Just couldn't be bothered at all. Might get my slow cooker out for these warmer days where endless salads won't cut it. So cheers for that too...

-English lamb chops
-Minty mange tout and peas from the garden
-New potatoes from the garden
-Debating a cucumber/tomato salad from the garden or other veg 🤔

Its just DH and myself and we eat everything, so no picky food issues

Tomatoes from the garden?

This is top tier 👏

we’re ordering Chinese.

the kids normally eat really well but currently only want to eat bowls of crushed ice and bowls of Cheerios. I’m 36 weeks pregnant and our oven is broken and the airfryer generates too much heat. DH is on sports run with dc until 8 and has taken sympathy in me looking and feeling like a beached whale, so I don’t have to cook. It’s currently 37 degrees in our house

You are a warrier!

I remember being pregnant in a heatwave, yaaaaak.

Do you have a recipe for this please? It sounds lovely!

It clearly sounds fancier than it is Grin

I sprinkled some Schwartz garlic Italian seasoning on some mini fillets and cooked them in the air fryer. Then did an assemble yourself tea with cooked fusilli, tomato and basil pasta sauce and our usual salad favourites plus dressing.

I it was nice though Smile
