Veggie fried rice

Cheese, onion and potato pie with homegrown peas and broccoli

PerditaMacleod · 21/08/2021 18:36

DH's pizza, made totally from scratch, which is out of this world. And I probably have Covid so can't even taste it Sad

DeeDimer · 21/08/2021 18:37

Indian takeaway. Just waiting for it now. A real treat and I can't wait.

CornishGem1975 · 21/08/2021 18:38

Home alone. Can't meet the £15 min spend on Just Eat so I'm making cheesy chips.

@MarioPants, that sounds lovely. I would love that with spaghetti or tagliatelle.
I've got nothing in. I found a part baked baguette so I made pizza, and a waffle with a poached egg. Bit mish mash but was lovely.

I'm on my own at home for the first time since 2019!

So to celebrate I'm having M&S butter chicken with sesame prawn toast.

Yes, I know they don't go together. No, I don't care.

TheWernethWife · 21/08/2021 18:43

Lamb Balti and chips.

@Dementedswan

Sausage with onion gravy, mash and veg. Nothing exciting. Just hot, easy and filling as its chucked it down here all day.

I'd much rather be having a takeaway curry.

Exactly what we're having! Sadly not homemade onion gravy as I forgot to buy onions 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm really looking forward to it!

Chicken and cashew nut curry - Nigella Lawson recipe from the Forever Summer book. Nice to be able to cook easily after a week camping! Plus wine.

ISpyCobraKai · 21/08/2021 18:46

I made spaghetti with aubergine, tomato, capers and a splash of cream.
It was delicious, and somewhat better than last night's three packets of crisps and a brownie debacle!

Jacket potato with tuna mayo cheese and salad

Cocktails, followed by whatever I ravishingly reach for after!

Cauliflower Korma

idontlikealdi · 21/08/2021 18:52

M and S cottage pie. I've haven't got my smell / taste back since having covid a couple of weeks ago and I can only face bland mush.

mrsm43s · 21/08/2021 18:54

I'm making sushi as a start, and then Miso Cod with asapagus tips and brown rice.

Giving the teens spaghetti and IKEA meatballs with tomato and basil sauce. Not because they wouldn't like our meal (they're teenagers, and they would), but because we've had a really manic week where DH and I have been like ships that pass in the night, and I really want a quiet meal just the two of us so we chatter and catch each other up. And the kids are happy because they love IKEA meatballs. Everyone loves IKEA meatballs!

mrsm43s · 21/08/2021 18:55

Oh and while the sushi is from scratch, the Miso cod is a simply cook - so not really too much effort.

Ughmaybenot · 21/08/2021 19:03

Sounds lovely but watch out for the double carb police on hrte!!
Bring it on @FunTimes2020 carbs all round… almost as round as I will be after double carbing it Grin Wink

Homemade Vegetable lasagne

Madcats · 21/08/2021 19:08

The weather has been vile all day, so we rescheduled meals to have roast chicken tonight.

DH is cooking as I had to do a long 'work' call at 4. Result!

True to Mumsnet legends, it will become a chicken curry and enchiladas later in the week.

GameSetMatch · 21/08/2021 19:09

Low cal fajita rice, on a diet ☹️

frogsbreath · 21/08/2021 19:11

Pulled pork and veg in cheese topped rolls

StevieNix · 21/08/2021 19:13

Quorn mince bolognese with spaghetti- it wasn't my best, it was really bland unfortunately but the rest of the family liked it at least. But it was very quick which is just what we needed this evening!

Hummus with toasted pita bread cheese and crackers
