FLMAO!!!

I'll give you a buzz tomorrow, hon!

Aww comeon angel, after all we have to make the most of those moments eh!! We always try to when its raining and we cant work outside!! Obviously, we have had a very wet winter!!

mr sizz has pork chops,mashed spuds and peas,followed by,pears,cream and two meringues

i wasn't very hungry so i just had cheesy mash with a fried egg

Got me daughters Dad here for the weekend, so Grandad is making our dinner, vegetarian moussaka, which is gorgeous, (Lou's Dads missus, who is also my best mate believe it or not, is a veggie, but sods law at the last minute she couldn't make it up here), and strawberries for afters

So I don't need to make much tonight. Might do a Spanish omlette if anyone's hungry.. I'll get the recipe for the moussaka from Dad and post it on here - Sloppy will like it! It's made with lentils instead of meat, and is so more-ish, even the die-hard meat lovers will like it.

Hello is anybody there? Today we had roast chicken, roast spuds and cauliflower cheese sauce but I'm still a bit peckish. Think some toasted cheese is on the cards for later

pizza
yum - my favorite

Sardines with brown pasta and salad!
Pineapple for afters.

OOh get me being all healthy lol

Macaroni

Been boring tonight - pigged out at the pub with hubby, Lou and her Dad.

I had roast lamb which was ok-ish, Lou had burger with chips and peas, hubby had steak baguette with chips and salad and Lou's Dad had a mixed grill.

So tonight I've just polished off cheese on toast and hubby stuffed MY chicken bap. The sod.

Dunno what to make tonight...

Got a freezer full of Yorkshire puds for some strange reason, so might get hubby and I a steak each, and do that with roasties and veg and gravy, and do some chicken for El Kiddo, with a couple of Yorkies and those brilliant inventions - microwaved steamed veg, she LOVES 'em.

Failing that, I am going to FORCE my darling husband to eat the smelly tomato and garlic sausages that he got from the butcher, that are stinking out our fridge. It's 'orrible.

Last night I had sausage, mash and fried onions. Yum!

I've been using these potatoes called Orla, from Asda extra special range, and they really are superb for everything.

Tonight cottage pie. With peas and green beans.

i aint heard of orla's before,it's shop week so i might see if morrisons sell them


last night mr sizz has what i call a cafe meal,chips sausages beans,i aint fussed on that so i did a gorgus cheese sauce with veg,it was frozen it tastes ok but not as good as fresh,

i had it for my brekkie also fried with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of cream so yummy

I just don't seem to have much luck with potatoes really. And especially the ones that are specifically (ha!) for baking have lately seemed to me vile. They are supposed to be fluffly inside not sloppy.

Or is it just me?

Anyway, the Orla ones I have been buying have been great for baking, mashing, boiling and for slicing and oven baking (posh chips or scalloped).

Tonight little 'un had chicken dippers, mash and mixed veg, and hubby and I had pork steaks in mustard and cream sauce, with roasties and mashed carrot and swede.

Stuffed is not the word.

Kitchen is a bombsite - I care not a jot.

i had some cheese sauce left over from yest,so i cooked some spiral pasta, and heated the sauce in the pan with cubed chicken,bit of parsley,then added the pasta yummy,ps the chicken was already cooked,mr sizz had chicken breast,chips,peas

Well i had a load bits and bobs in the fridge that needed using up so decided to something usually only have in the summer but it was lovely......

Big plateful of cold stuff.... Cooked meat (roast beef, pork loin and salami), cheddar cheese, boursin, pickled onions, tomatoes, egg mayonnaise with cress and some buttered bread and cream crackers

Cant wait for summer when we eat this most days!!

Went out for tea last night so had scampi. I know, not exactly an exotic choice but there you go.

Cor sounds fantastic... I love that sort of stuff. As you say, can't wait for the summer...

Tonight - roast chicken with new spuds, coleslaw and salad, and pickles if anyone wants them.

A cheese an onion roll. I became addicted yesterday lol.

I'm just getting over my previous addiction to prawn mayo sarnies on light wholemeal bread. I'm getting there.

Good look with your cheese and onion.

I've made a chicken curry and rice,and set the smoke alarm off doing my poppadums.

LMAO!

How do you all make your roast potatoes? I've made them but they're far from anything special. Any tips?

Mrs O's Roasties - for Karenjet

Put the roasting tin with some oil (not too much) in the oven at about 200 degrees before you even start peeling the devils, then boil the kettle.

Peel your spuds, cut up as necessary and par-boil for about five minutes in salted water.

Drain, then return to the hot pan and give them an almighty shake to rough up the edges - the trick with really good roasties is to rough them up cos that makes them crispy, and to have the roasting tin SMOKING hot.

Be bloomin careful getting the tin out of the oven, then tip the spuds in and toss them over to get them coated in oil, then whack back in the oven as fast as possible before the tin loses its heat.

Cook for about 45 minutes turning once.

This should in theory give you really nice crisp roasties.
