I did chicken red thai curry with sugar snaps and rice - easy and yummy

Now we all have kids we usually have friends round in the day and it's either BBQ or roast chicken and salad in the summer and joint and trimmings or bangers and mash in the winter.

On the rare occasion we do have a proper grown up meal I usually do an Indian banquet as it can be prepared in advance.

oh i wish i could cook, actually i prob could just can't be bothered, what i need to employ is a chef

Beef & red wine stew and mashed potato.

these meals sound quite nice

Any more?

Crudites and aioli, Roast lamb, pommes daupohinois, veg, chocolate mousse, rhubarb tart, cheese course.
