On a bit of break...
I'm doing roast beef with all the usual trimmings tonight. My lad got back at about 8am from playing a gig in Belgium so he'll appreciate a decent meal when he finally surfaces.
What's for tea tonight? (#8)

I've been away for a week, so I don't think the family ate very well.
Tonight, I'm doing a roast pork. Sadly, two of my family members will not be here to eat it, so I'll save them a plate for when they get home from work.

After yesterday's indulgences*, it's leftovers with nice bread, good salad and a simple pasta dish of some kind -breadcrumbs, oil, bacon, or possibly a carbonara. Had a lovely day at the allotment, watering and generally admiring the nascent shoots everywhere and have already come back to a sandwich stuffed full of tender slices of belly pork. It's a day for lazing and leftovers
*Guests came over, with avowed intentions to get heavily stoned ('like the old days') and to eat nice food. Arrived by 8, food served at 9. First whitey at 9.30, followed by general lying in the corridor and an a quick lie down that turn night ending. Her partner ended up crashing in the same (spare) room at, ooh, just past 11 and we had two unexpected house guests till this morning. Job done; mission achieved. They were sheepish but smiley this morning. On the plus side, we have the maple pecan tart nobody could manage yesterday.

Earliers dinner was- as it turned out - delicious. My mam did roasted sirloin steaks of beef in butter, rosemary and onions....now typical Irish style she cooked the bijéipers out of them (also bearing in mind that we had two little kids to deal with...) the nippers gobbled up the lot (cut in tiny pieces) and i fed it to them like little blackbirds while watching The Wizard of Oz; the sides were parsnip and carrot mash (slushy but tasty) and maris piper potato mash (a winner, although herb and spring onion version for the oulder folks). Dessert was pears with a great throwback of HB's 'Brunch' icecream. Trés droll!
sounds good. I always wonder what people bring....(well not housewise) i just mean, did anyone make or bring anything interesting (food)
sorry, just saw this. was just thinking about that unusual asian salad, or the old garlic tart (which i still havent made yet). just anything unusually inventive. its so exciting when it happens.

ROAST! 
Chicken, roast spuds, cauli cheese, yorkshires, psb from the garden, green beans, bread sauce, gravy....oh YEAH, baby!!!! *slurp*
Just a fucking shame I've got to actually cook it and not just eat it, mind.
Shop bought melty middle hot chocolate sponge puddings with vanilla ice cream for pudding.

Fuck me, that sounds well lush
What smoked cheese did you use?
Well, as we are on an econofood mission to use up all available food this month, tonight we are having pesto linguine again, with black olives, sundried tomatoes, and a smidge of parmesan
Dunno tonight
Things to be used up I think.
Maybe a pasta of some sorts.
Where do people stand on the Mattessons Smoked Pork Sausage range?
I have a Hot n Spicy Smoked Pork Sausage from said range in the fridge which could be involved tonight.
From what I remember, you could well use this in a pasta dish mate - maybe with garden peas, and onions?

I'm aiming for mrsfrans puy lentil lasagne & salad.

sausage and potato salad
boil some spuds, put the sausage in the same pan still in it's placky bag to heat through. make a good strong vinagrette with plenty of mustard and vinegar, lots chopped red onion. chop the hot spuds into chunks and add to the vinagrette/onion then chop the sausage into half moon shapes and add those. serve with green salad

We're having freezer meatballs and pasta today. Not *very* exciting. I think I'd like to cook something properly tomorrow.

Def having this and it's in the pan tasting sooo good. I like to serve it with a green salad and a few of thos pickled jalopeno peppers from a jar plus a glass of red wine. I urge anyone who hasn't tried this dish to make it ASAP as it's really earthy and delicious. My BF doesn't know what is dinner yet so will be chuffed when he gets to mine.

We are having breadcrumbed haddock and oven chips and lots of garden psb. Ice cream sundaes for pudding.
Ahhh - a Nigel recipe by any chance? I only ask cos I have a tin of green lentils in my cupboard and was looking for recipes for them yesterday, only to come across this one.
I will do mine with veggie sausages, no bacon, no chicken stock, but with good veggie stock and perhaps a little paprika
duh - just read down the page! Still poss a Nigel one though
