A couple of nights a week I have to go out to Cubs or DC taxi-ing. It's too late to start cooking when I get back so I like a meal that I can put in the oven before I go out (6ish) then we can eat together when we're all back (8.30ish). It needs to be one-pot and require minimal looking after. DCs still at home can stir, turn up, turn down, put in jacket potatoes etc, but not add complicated bits & pieces.
Lamb shanks and that type of thing are ideal but I'm always after new recipes...
