i usually make risotto with asparagus (plus any other springy veg i have) but that relies on having stock in the freezer.

Asparagus risotto? Just need rice, stock, butter and parmesan.

chips are an accompaniment, not the other way round.

Now we're talking! Hmmmmm.... I got some lovely peri-peri spice yesterday too.... How about pork chops with a tomato salsa and grilled asparagus?

sounds excellent! i had asparagus with krom bi l'ham marhi last night. that's nice too.
it sounds like something out of dune, but it's just sauteed cabbage with minced lamb, cumin, paprika, pepper and garlic and shitloads of butter.
it's well nice

Either a burger in the pub, or a pizza from the place next to the pub*, or a pizza from the shops on the way home from the pub.

no, anyway, allioli lis really easy to make. just pound the garlic with salt in a mortar and add olive oil.

lamburgers with rocket and tomato salad, allioli and pomme frites

How is that aioli? You need to make mayonnaise, surely, so there should be an egg yolk or two in there.

Tis so indeed.

Allioli is just garlic pounded with salt and oil. It's a Catalan sauce and has no egg yolk in at all. Besides, garlic has an emulsifying agent within it, so it looks just like a mayonnaise, but less fattening than a mayonnaise with egg yolk/oil in it

pay attention! i was talking about hollandaise. never heard of allioli, think truxta's talking about aoili, which is french garlic mayonnaise, which i would never make, let alone buy.

Chicken and mushroom korma with basmati rice. Not cooked from scratch (for once). At last there's a premade (you still need to add a bit of liquid and then heat it up with the meat or veg in it) curry sauce I can safely use 
and it tastes like a real homemade curry too, instead of like gloop.

Macaroni cheese. I've heard these rumours about bacon being a good ingredient to add, might have to give that a go. Not sure we've got any in though. I did spot a Spanish cured ham, chorizo selection in the fridge, would any of that do or is it better with fried bacon?
