I desperately don't want to cook today. Any tips for a healthy dinner which takes ten minutes?

stirfry?

Salad with some cooked meat and bread.

hunkermunker · 11/07/2005 16:13

Salad, bread, ham, cheese, pate, houmous, locusts.

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 11/07/2005 16:13

pick up the phone and order in.... oops, sorry you said healthy!

compo · 11/07/2005 16:14

omelette and sald
baked potatoes in microwave with nutrious filling like tuna and salad

spidermama · 11/07/2005 16:30

Good suggestions. I'll have to go for the stir fry tarantula due to available ingredients but I still consider that to be cooking really.

don't you have any left over roast? Bit a salad, Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt!

Set fire to the kitchen

Omelette with peppers and cheese and salad?

WideWebWitch · 11/07/2005 16:35

Janh · 11/07/2005 16:36

Chip shop. Bugger healthy for once. (You can always take the batter off your fish).

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 11/07/2005 16:36

im going for pizza delivery... too hot to cook!

Janh · 11/07/2005 16:37

Left-over roast, mars? You mean you had one yesterday in this heat?

Spidey's having stir fry tarantula - how appropriate

MrsDoolittle · 11/07/2005 16:37

locusts hunkermunker?

WideWebWitch · 11/07/2005 16:38

I know, I read the locusts and wondered if she put that in just to see if we were paying attention. Do you think?

spidermama · 11/07/2005 16:38

Fefi. Eureka! Sounds fab. Thanks.

Was v. tempted to go to chippie too jahn but not with all 4 kids.

Pizza Hut.

Janh · 11/07/2005 16:39

I assumed it was either another whimsical trifle or else a ref to the weather.

(Or else she keeps some in her cupboard for moments like this. Choc. coated probably.)

MrsDoolittle · 11/07/2005 16:40

Can't imagine a roast mars being healthy either.

tarantula · 11/07/2005 16:40

Sounds about right We spiders have no hesitation in being cannibals.

hunkermunker · 11/07/2005 16:44

I did wonder whether anybody read my posts

Yes, was a whimsy trifle, JanH

Love that the thread also has reference to stirfried tarantula on it though Most apt!
