I just know the roast will get wasted.

Ds is just recovering form that awful bug and his appetite is still really small, Dd1 has a sore throat and so isn't hungry, and I have a cold and can't really taste anything.

AIBU to do hotdogs tonight instead and then do the roast another day ??

yanbu, why would you be???

TheFalconInThePearTree · 14/12/2008 15:22

Not at all.

IllegallyBrunette · 14/12/2008 15:24

Because we had a junk food day yesterday (dd2's birthday sleepover), and it feels like ages since we had a proper (healthy) meal, but then thats because we have all been ill with something or another I suppose.

Weekends are for relaxing. We often eat hotdogs on a sunday and have the roast on monday. Tomorrow is roast pork.

DoubleBluff · 14/12/2008 16:04

i love hotdogs esp those herta ones! Yummy!

No. Do it. Your family will love you.

I am always amazed with children at how the level of enjoyment in a meal is in inverse proportion to the amount of effort required.

I have no excuse and we've just had fish and chips!

Absolutely NBU in the circumstances, enjoy!

We're having pizza and garlic bread because neither of us can be arsed to cook.... we had hotdogs for lunch yesterday because they are my pregnancy craving... mmmmm....

Watched Jamie Oliver's Xmas special the other day.

Thought it would be a good idea to use some of his ideas and use them to cook a lovely organic corn fed chicken.

Think you can guess the rest:
The worst roast chicken I've ever cooked and with all the extra stuff I had to do to try and save it, it took so long I felt too tired to finish it! Have never seen so much washing up after a roast either!!!

Hot dogs in buns YUM!! Am wondering if I can get away with this on Christmas Day as I know the DCs would definitely prefer it to turkey and all the trimmings (so would I actually!)

thankyoumumnetelf1908 · 14/12/2008 21:01

We have all been really ill and couldn't go to the shops and so all the food had run out - DS 5yrs had dry rice pops (no milk left) and a yoghurt for lunch and loved it!!! DH managed to get the shops this afternoon in time for dinner (phew!)
