I'm having pizza, but later on whilst watching Lewis Capaldi in Hyde park livestreamed.
Anchovies, olives and capers, my favourite.

Oven pizzas and salad. Been out all day and it’s an easy way to guarantee everyone eats.

Katsu chicken with rice and peas

Assuming you baked the pizza,How are you turning on the oven in this heat?I just cooked some black chickpeas for 10.mins and felt like fainting! I will cool down that chickpeas.and turn it into samosa chaat which would be served with cold chutneys/youghurts. Have some readymade salad somewhere and some sushi for my kid. We tried having rice n curry last night which is our usual dinner but couldn't eat much so given up on following norm.wish the football was earlier as I think by 10 we will be hungry again.

Ahh makes sense! Enjoy your pizza,Sorry to assume everywhere is hot, it's gonna be like this till next weekend here so I am struggling with planning what to eat.

MurielTheTerrible · 11/07/2026 19:07

Rosé wine and peanuts. I may have a bit of cheese if I CBA. I was supposed to be at Hyde Park with DD today, but DD has a new gf so I reluctantly surrendered my ticket. Hopefully the gf is a delight and totally worth me giving up a gig I've been looking forward to for months... Though tbf it's v hot today so sitting in my pants with chicken wine is possibly the best plan.

My husband is currently making a chicken passanda. Glad I am not the one sweating in the kitchen. But I am about to do the bedtime wrangling of 2 toddlers, so I haven't got off scot free.

Fake Nando’s. It’s 20 degrees and pouring with rain in the North East.

Marycontrarygarden · 11/07/2026 19:09

Veggie BBQ

I had a ticket and sold it.
I have just spent almost two weeks in London and couldn't go again.
I saw Take That, Maroon 5 and Harry Styles though, and I've seen Lewis twice before.

We had pizza to

FurForksSake · 11/07/2026 19:20

We had rib eye steak, onion rings, curly fries. Asparagus, corn on the cob and the posh M&S garlic bread. With bernaise.

willowtree66 · 11/07/2026 19:20

Salmon, sweet potato and veg. May have some fruit and Greek yogurt in a bit.

Tenofcups · 11/07/2026 20:34

Ordered a pizza

susiedaisy1912 · 11/07/2026 20:36

Plant based ‘pork’ burgers from Aldi with salad. Not much puts me off of hot food even in a heatwave.

Netcurtainnelly · 11/07/2026 20:38

Fillet steak, salad and garlic bread, strawberries and cream.

PermanentTemporary · 11/07/2026 20:40

Halloumi, couscous and strawberry salad. I added some kiwi which actually made it a bit too sweet, plus it was 800 calories each which seems a lot. The glass of Cremant was nice though.

That, madam, is an exemplary pizza!

Fontet · 11/07/2026 20:41

King Prawns, dressing etc…garlic potatoes and crusty bread. Kept it simple…

Crikeyalmighty · 11/07/2026 20:41

had yellow stickered M&S salmon and rocket fish cakes ( very good) plus salad of lots of their deli bits- rocket, peppers, sun dried tomatoes, olives, bit of feta - lovely!!!

Crikeyalmighty · 11/07/2026 20:42

Now just about to have Greek yoghurt and a few strawberries

EverythingGolden · 11/07/2026 20:43

We had Niçoise salad but without the egg.

whatwasthatnoise · 11/07/2026 20:44

Also in Scotland, it's been lovely, drizzling and about 15°C today (sorry, not sorry).
We had salmon that had been lightly smoked then oven baked, boiled new tatties and salad. And a few glasses of white wine.

TheChosenTwo · 11/07/2026 20:44

We have ordered pizza to be delivered at 9 from the nice Sicilian place down the road, their pizzas are brilliant.
Only ordered 2 between 3 as none of us are very hungry plus dh and ds are planning on having wings and ribs during the football.
I’ll have a couple of slices of pizza and then a nice evening walk - its so glorious out at the moment, I adore this sunshine and heat and don’t want to waste any of the lovely evenings! Plus I hate football so have some podcasts to listen to and I’m looking forward to it 😂

honeyfox · 11/07/2026 20:45

Steak on the barbecue, salad and skinny fries.
