Gandalph Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Two nice chicken Breasts, Oven fried chips and a nice saucepan of Sweet -n- Sour. Uncle Ben's of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Stew made with lamb neck fillet, tender stem broccoli and genuine mashed spuds, none of that packet nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I always have something light and quick on a Friday evening. I will have some chicken wings with salt and chilli dressing, from Aldi, with a few slices of my home made bread and butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 The usual Friday Fish (Cod or Haddock) from our local fish shop - not a supermarket Actifry Chunky Chips (crispy outside, soft inside) Harry Ramsden Mushy Peas Garnished with Lemon and accompanied by either Tomato Sauce or Mayonnaise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 No idea yet, it's almost certainly in the freezer or maybe still on the shelf at Tescos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 My dinner is akin to Irene's (including Actifry chips) but with Tesco mushy peas. I think the Harry Ramsden brand is grossly overrated. Note: I always Actifry my chips in goose or duck fat for the best crisp finish.

Belatucadrus Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Well having hacked my way through the frost and ice that was encasing the fish drawer it's turned out that today it'll be battered haddock with chips and either runner beans or peas. Note to self time to defrost the freezer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 It's Friday. Fish and Chips night tonight. Aldi Breaded Haddock fillets with Spicy Wedges. Drop of Lime juice and a little sprinkle of Salt, lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 OK I'll admit it today is another cheat day M&S Butter chicken with rice, I can do a pretty damned good curry but if you're just cooking for two it's hardly worth the bother and M&S butter chicken is really rather good. If M&S want to send me a few free packs for bigging up the product my integrity is for sale at a very low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I absolutely agree with you Bela' - M&S Curries, especially the butter chicken, are all excellent. None of the other supermarkets get close. We keep a couple of jars of M&S butter chicken sauce in stock and provide our own chicken or Giant prawns and rice. It works out slightly less expensive. (ie: cheaper) You are a chap of good taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 The menu tonight consists of: Balsamic Grilled Swordfish; Braised Fennel; Home Grown Courgette and Baby New Potatoes in their skins.

Belatucadrus Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Haven't done swordfish in ages, when I do it's grilled with Cajun spices served with chips and a side salad and if I overdo the spice plenty of something cold to drink.

AlanHo Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 We are out tonight at an Italian Restaurant in Birmingham. Grand-daughters 21st birthday with all her mates and our respective families. There are 22 going. I'm going to hate it - so will my wallet. I can't even anaesthetise myself with some nice Italian wine - I got the short straw and am driving. My wife will not drive at night - her cataracts produce halo vision with street lights and oncoming cars. Me being deaf is a mixed blessing - because if the restaurant is very noisy - I can't hear conversations at our table. However - if our gaggle of girls are being loud - I can turn my hearing aids down with the remote control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Really looking forward to it then Alan. Guaranteed the Girl's will be noisy, I've never known a bunch of Girls be quiet. For me tonight it's Hooray it's Saturday. Spaghetti and Bolognese sauce, and plenty of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranberry & Raspberry juice today (Most days to be honest) I do occasionally indulge in a full strength sugar saturated cola or fizzy orange. Never been much for wine and I got out of the alcoholic beverage habit some years ago. Not taken the pledge or anything it just sort of faded away as part of my calorific intake.
