Last night we had roast beef, yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings. So tonight is cold beef and bubble and squeak cakes, made with sprouts. ;D Saturday night - Lamb Rogan Josh Sunday night - Tandoori Chicken Tonight - Prawn Korma Sleepy that Sounds like our type of cooking ;D Because OH doesn't get home till about 7.30pm then the kids go to bed then I cook our tea. But tonight I was very good and made Homemade chicken and Bacon soup (boiling the chicken bones for stock.) with garlic bread for everyone. And I have to say it was very good, OH even had seconds, even though I could see him pulling a face down the phone when I told him what we were having. ;D Cottage pie tomorrow - maybe  |

Tonight the kids are having spag bol and we are having Tesco's beef stew and dumplings with broccoli. - not cottage pie as R won't be home until 8pm.  |

Quorn is great, OH cant tell the difference between quorn pieces or chicken pieces in a stir fry ;D The real difference is price! It always seems to be on special offer too, its also handy as you can cook it from frozen. Yes I'm on commission ;D I'm also addicted to making rice pudding in my slow cooker ATM, i've made it 3 nights in a row, mind you i'm the only one eating it tonight  |

Had sausage, mash and broad beans tonight. Spag bol tomorrow, well I say spag bol, but we actually have penne bol - doesn't have the same ring to it though ;D I've started using wholewheat pasta btw - can't tell the difference either.  I love broad beans - they are delicious with bacon. Anybody watching Masterchef? The other night some guy did a meal with chicken breast which he barely cooked and was virtually raw! He didn't last long. |

What? You mean he died shortly after.....poor bloke....... Actually they all refused to eat it. How can you get on the box for your cooking skill and be unable to cook a chicken breast properly - that's a real basic. |

I was poisoned at a BBQ once, and I only swallowed a mouthful of foul fowl  |

I wish they hadn't moved Masterchef's time of broadcast. I can't sit and watch it now and I used to enjoy getting cross with the way they all fiddle about and got sooo precious about all that grub! I can't understand anyone wanting to put themselves up for it anyway - they are soo rude to them and make them work soo hard.

It's funny to watch a chicken or fish being unstuffed ;D and liquids flowing upwards. There's no end of fun in your neck of the woods Reet....... |

I can't understand anyone wanting to put themselves up for it anyway - they are soo rude to them and make them work soo hard. I preferred it when it had Lloyd Grossman on it with a guest chef and a celeb....nowadays I think the two who run it (who are I'm sure very nice blokes) are far too precious, and quite rude to the contestants. |

Thanks dear..I think he'd need to be! It's a newish dirt cheap one but rubbish and no one can get the channels tuned - we've all tried so it's just for watching videos........
