I have nothing. This thread is making me jealous.

LilyRose16 · 18/08/2017 18:11

Chinese takeaway. Two nights in a row.

Mamabear14 · 18/08/2017 18:12

We had hairy bikers chilli prawn pasta. I put too much chilli in. DP loved it. It burnt my mouth off. I am a hot food wimp though.

BeyondQueenOfLists · 18/08/2017 18:13

Just ate mine - tomato and mozzarella tarts and coleslaw. All courtesy of Aldi ready made Grin (they were rather nice too)

MaMisled · 18/08/2017 18:13

Homemade chicken x veg Tikka masala, Naan Bread and spinach and lentil dahl.

CheeseAndBeans · 18/08/2017 18:13

Sausages, mash and veg. I need to a food shop so it's boring one tonight. I don't fancy it after reading this thread now though... I want a Chinese!

RandomlyGenerated I love Lebanon and have had amazing food there. My favourite place is a family run restaurant in Byblos overlooking the sea. We would drive from Beirut to Tripoli on the weekend just to get Lebanese pastries.

PinkDaffodil2 · 18/08/2017 18:23

Spinach daal (cooking now) with rice and some bought piri piri chicken thighs (mostly for DH but I'll sneak a bit).

Violetcharlotte · 18/08/2017 18:32

Something boring like pasta. DS2 is out, DS1 is working til 8.30 and I'm going swimming. So will be something quick and easy about 9pm.

fuckoffdailysnail · 18/08/2017 18:37

DDs had chicken in cheese and ham sauce with mash and veg
Me and DH will be having chicken with mushroom rice and wine Wine

SparkyTheCat · 18/08/2017 19:07

Chicken (DCat will love us), mash and veg. Homemade trifle for pudding, if I can get the darn custard to set.

LockedOutOfMN · 18/08/2017 19:11

DH got some good news this morning so I upgraded from our original plans for dinner and went out to get stuff for a celebration then I got a message as he left work saying he was going to the pub to celebrate with friends. Now not answering phone. I'm starving!

LockedOutOfMN · 18/08/2017 19:14

Doesn't help that DC had friends over today and I fed them all an early dinner because the friends had a flight to catch, and there are no leftovers for me to scoff!

Pantryboy · 18/08/2017 19:16

Chinese pork ribs, fresh new pots, fresh kidney beans from the garden and broad beans,

ihatetosay · 18/08/2017 19:23

cheese and onion crisps and mayo in a wrap
then a tub of ice cream

notfunnyhaha85 · 18/08/2017 19:30

Ham and mushroom pizza with some sweet potato chips 😋

Pudding will be a chocolate brownie cupcake when the kids are in bed so I don't have to share Blush

oldlaundbooth · 18/08/2017 19:30

Not sure really.

On holiday and SIL is cooking.

Steak I think.

MaryShelley1818 · 18/08/2017 19:36

Crispy bacon sandwich and ice cream (I'm pregnant, home alone and tired!)

milliemolliemou · 18/08/2017 19:36

Oh heavens. Just gone fishetarian last month but forgot to get fish. So tonight it'll be green beans and tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden. With an omelette. So missing thinly sliced liver breaded with finely chopped parsley and garlic ...

Wonderful Waitrose recipe of filo pastry/Italian blue cheese/broccoli and cream/sour cream/yoghourt/walnuts nearly held me on my course but guests ate it all on a picnic.

Karlakitten1 · 18/08/2017 19:36

Heck chicken sausage and mushroom risotto and garlic bread.

Jessiecat27 · 18/08/2017 19:38

I've just had marmite on toast to put me on, oh is out and won't be back till late so I'll be scraping together whatever is lurking in the cupboards, fridge and freezer. Boring! You all eat such exciting things!

AgnesNitt1976 · 18/08/2017 19:56

Just had tofu peanut butter broccoli stir fry with rice

AngeloMysterioso · 18/08/2017 19:57

Chinese takeaway and cherry doughnuts Grin

myrtleWilson · 18/08/2017 20:06

Pan fried pork chops in a cream sauce with cornichons and smashed new potatoes and asparagus here

Looking at these threads make me realise how things change over the decades. When I was growing up in the 70s 'home made' was judged to be rather common . My mum and nan grew up in eras which gave them no choice but to cook from scratch. Which probably explains their love of ready made (especially M&S) not having the choice made home made less enticing. MIL is of a similar generation and would find it hilarious to make home made pizza - and she's Italian!
