I’ve not attempted a risotto for a long time, I think my last one was a stodgy mess but tonight I tried .
An extra handful of Kale and a courgette that needed using, swapped the ham out for the Vivera veggie bacon and it was a hit,

We had this tonight and I did what you did and added extra kale. We did have ham though which made a healthy dish a bit unhealthy.
You’re right @Bob it was delicious.

That's reminded me we have a batch of meatballs in the freezer from a couple of weeks ago, may use them up over the weekend.

No need now, the kids have paid for a Cock takeaway for tonight and I believe Mrs T has other plans for tomorrow.

Pizza!

We're snowed in and had run out of vital supplies (mainly cheese) so walked to Asda in 2ft of snow!

It took us 2 hours but totally worth it!

Leftover risotto for brunch.
Leftover meatballs for late lunch.
Home made pizza with salad for tea.

We have Chinese hot pot tonight ... to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It’s a great way of cooking and the meal can last as long as you want as you can take a break and then go back to cooking.

Minime is buying HERSELF a takeaway as its date night (it involves them (bf & 2 other friends) all being in their own homes, eating the same takeaway, and watching the same film on Netflix/prime/whatever whilst chatting over whatever device (x-box?) they all use.)

The carer has decided he's having a shop bought oven cooked Macceroni cheese as he was jealous of @proactive 's the other day.

I'm not a fan of macceroni cheese so I bought a oven cook Beef Bouginon with Gratain potatoes, and I have cauliflower cheese as a side. Just opened the beef & Gratain to find it might be enough to feed a squirrel but definatly not enough for me, and the side of cauliflower cheese is bigger than the main!

Thank goodness for crisps n dips.....

Well I've decided to put last night's laziness of getting chips from Weeping Cross behind me and be much more energetic tonight. So I will be driving across town later in order to pick up an EoO takeaway.

I've been overcome by a wave of CBA, with everything, not just cooking the last couple of days. Although I might still find the enthusiasm to pull the cork out of a bottle.

There's always screw cap if the pulling gets too much, or council pop.

Decent wine does not have screw caps.

Husband's birthday choice!

Not sure if he had a clear vision but it ended up resembling a pub side selection...

Garlic bread
Dirty fries (chips with cheese sauce)
Onion rings
Quorn / chicken
Halloumi fries

Yummy and he's very happy!

 

[Glam]

Roast Beef, Roast potatoes, carrots,cabbage (for me) yorkie puds, mint & apple sauce & gravy. Followed by chocolate swiss roll and custard for pudding.
This child will miss Mummys cooking when I'm on my nights next week.

 

[littleme]

Table for one....

 

[Lucy]

Ooh a hot cross bun.

Might be able to persuade the OH to eat at the table (kitchen island) for the first time in about 6 months tonight.

 

[Carole]

We’ve had similar to @Glam

Roast beef, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower cheese, gravy.
Haven’t cooked a roast for ages but husband had been yearning for beef so as it’s Valentine’s Day I thought it would be nice.
Actually put a tablecloth on and laid the table nicely too.

 

[That-Crazy-Rat-Lady]

Really fancied a roast as you were all talking about one!

But we had leftovers from yesterday (husband's eyes were bigger than his belly...)

So finished those off with crackers!

 

[proactive]

Feeling a bit more like it today, so home battered halloumi and chips followed by a red fruit crumble I made earlier.

 

[littleme]

Similar to @Glam & @Carole, we're having slow cooked lamb, roast potatoes, roasted carrot & sweede mash, tenderstem and Yorkshire puds with gravy and mint jelly/sauce.

It's still not ready as SOMEONE* overslept, and didn't put the lamb in the slow cooker till 11.30am.


*Not me, I was at work.

 

[Thehooperman]

Just had a gingerbread yoghurt for pudding. Quite strange but nice.
