Sounds lovely!
I'm intrigued by the fact you always seem to have afters, I rarely do (I prefer savoury things and if I'm eating out and getting 2 courses it will always be starter and main, maybe a coffee, I like affogato as a light dessert that's basically coffee really).
I like some desserts, but rarely want one after a meal, I'd be more likely to have it as a snack rather than as afters.
I might do a "do you have afters" type poll.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, i usually have to wait for an hour or so after my tea to eat my pudding, but I usually don’t have one at all

When I was growing up, we very rarely had pudding, or sweets, biscuits, anything like that. Too skint. When I got my first job, I bought all the sweet stuff I fancied (had shoplifted it for years), and that's never changed.

I crave sweetness, especially after my tea, and ALWAYS have something. I don't know how people cope NOT having pudding

My brother says he has a pudding compartment in his stomach and always has afters.

Your brother is correct, and I also have one

 

[nottsgirl]

I nearly bought mochi in the Korean supermarket and now I really wish I had some.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A big fuck-off steak with spuds and veg.

 

[sojourner]

Leek and cannellini bean gratin, with baby spuds, broccoli and veggie gravy. Bloody freezing here lately!

Tother half of the tiramisu with blueberries, and tonight, I will attempt to NOT eat a whole bar of fruit and nut choccy immediately afterwards

 

[shakespearegirl]

Last night was mustard, crème fresh and roast chicken pasta, tonight pea and asparagus risotto

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Chicken in breadcrumbs with spuds and veg.

This similar for me too. I'll never not have an option for pudding.

Same with me, but I stopped buying afters when unemployed to save money, and never really shook that habit. Before that, my favourites were Hob Nobs, Kit Kats and Echo bars!

Oh god, I used to demolish whole packs of Hob Nobs

Chippy tea tonight on account of getting our collective hair cut at tea time, and having a video chat with my lass scheduled for 7.30. So fish, chips n mushy peas for me, some unholy combination of chips, gravy, curry and peas for him.

He's baking a fruitcake so a fat slice of that with a decaff coffee.

 

[nottsgirl]

This:

Nigel Slater’s recipes for roast spring vegetables, tarragon and lemon dressing, and chicory with basil and honey vinaigrette

It’s the season of salads, so a good dressing is a must

www.theguardian.com

I’ve come into possession of some nice beet tops. What shall I do with them?

Throw them in the bin, they're vile.

Right, well, seems my chippy days are over then. Last time I had fish chips n mushy peas, I had terrible wind and bloating all night, and I was actually disgusting myself with the vile odour emitting from my bum. Same this time. It might just be the mushy peas, but I think the grease has a lot to do with it too.

In better news, the fella is making us a wholewheat penne arrabiatta for tea, which we'll lace with black olives and capers, and slather in extra mature cheddar.

Fruitycake and a brew.

 

[mrsfran]

Train picnic! We're travelling from London to Edinburgh this evening, so train picnic it is.

No idea. Mrs Shoes said she'd cook and isn't home yet...
