what did you have for your tea!?????

[astonmartin]

Just wondering what poeple had for there tea, really to give me some hins-tips, on what to do my little family for tea!

I make the best mashed potatoes in the world btw (just thought I'd mention it for the benefit of those who think they do!)

You only think that because you haven't tasted mine

Just got back from Pizza express where Dd and I had their filled pasta with cream, ham and parmesan with garlic dough balls and salad! First meal of the day which is just as well as I think that was well over 1500 calories - oops!!!

Whats your recipe for mashed potatoes JanH?

Have just had a M&S chicken tikka. Not sure i liked it though.

Main ingredient is about 250g of utterly butterly (or equiv) - plus floury spuds and some milk. I think it's the utt butt that makes the diff though!

My mash does have many fans though. DD1 had an American friend here last week, when I did the same chicken casserole + mash, and she couldn't get enough of it and said it was the best food she'd had since she came over here (not sure when that was mind you!) so I was v pleased

Home Made Irish stew and dumplings - stew weather IYKWIM

Tuna pasta bake. Its a tandby for swimming/Brownie nights when we're in a bit of a hurry and jolly nice it is too.

Spacedonkey special - pasta, peas, tuna and pesto
Added parmesan cos am partial to it.

mmm just had a chinese takeaway - so much for the diet

janh, we had colemans chicken chasseur for tea last night.
Can I come round for some mash?

pork chops in cider, apple and parsnip sauce (made it up myself). Rice and broccoli.

SHEPHERDS PIE!!!!! SHEPHERDS PIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!

Going to do baked sweet potatoes tomorrow, possibly with beans on the side.

jacket potato with cheese, beans and a veggie sausage (for DS) and a lovely Indian takeaway for us!!

DS tucked up in bed. So just about to disappear & tuck into M&S curry & a bottle of white wine ! Yum - our Friday night treat !

tuna burgers - yes, as horrible as they sound. Why oh why did we give up meat for Lent? Mince is so useful on those can't really be bothered to cook days.

Meatloaf, roast potatoes, brocolli, roast swede and whole roast baby onions (forgotten the name ). That was all of us including 9 mo DD. She had the swede and pot as finger food and the rest of a spoon. Followed by strawbs.

fish and chips

Yummy Chinese - but had to leave early (long story) so waiting for DH to bring the left-overs home with my dd - celebrating her 5th b'day with a friend at the restaurant!

an apple

DD had salmon fillet, rice, carrots, sweetcorn and brocolli, followed by fromage frais and a banana. Me and DH had a curry takeaway, amd will have beers in a sec.

Its bugging me - what are those onions called? Jamie Oliver would be desparing of me.

Got it. Shallots. We love them (DH and I).

I have a dinner party for 16 tomorrow night - so I have been laying the table.

I am however ..... on my third gin
