What's for tea at your house tonight?

Or you could just bake them - takes 60-90 minutes while you're doing something else, so the only prep is washing, pricking, and rubbing with oil and salt.

That's not a bad idea...but I need more on what to put in it?  The only fish pie I've done was a 'quick & easy meal' from Best that used oven chips as the top crust & I have fresh potatoes.

I always put mashed potatoes on top of my fish pie. And hard-boiled eggs in it with the fish. All in a yummy parsley sauce. Damn, I want some!

Yeah I thought about doing mashed potatoes on top (instead of the oven chips).  But this is my hubby & hard-boiled eggs:    -- well eggs of any sort.

Oh dear!

I made a chicken curry and lentils and have rice in the rice cooker ready to go. I also did a cucumber/yogurt/mint salad-y thing. It turned into so much food that I called my friend Catherine, and she's coming over to eat with me. Yaye!

parmesan & pancetta sausages, with mash....

Scalloped potatoes sound good, Britwife.  My gran usually parboiled hers a bit before putting into the casserole & baking -- she also used loads of Velveeta.

Well, not unusually, I decided to capitulate to my DH & bought 'bangers' -- but I bought a Toulousian variety, so I'm planning to do some kind of garlic/cheesy mash, and some roasted veg to go with.

Yes I know you are supposed to parboil but I'm to lazy for that. I don't even peel them.

I've never heard of fish pie being made with oven chips btw, sounds... crispy!

no no no, no eggs in fish pie! (not in my world!)

i bake or poach salmon and white fish, shread it and combine with mashed potatoes and cooked shrimp.  Mix in a basil sauce (from store, not pesto but a smoother sauce).

mum in law makes SUCH good ones

tonight was lamb chump chops (garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary) from the organic market, broccoli and carrots, and potatoes boiled then pan fried with mushrooms

Salmon with capers  and vinegar and olive oil  on a cup of steamed spinach..  sides  were  chinese fried rice and left over other rice dish and  potato wedges..

Well it was one of those quick & easy supper ideas from a magazine.  I think it calls for frozen cod fillets in butter sauce, prawns, peas -- whatever else you want to throw in.  On the top you put those potato wedges (I don't know if those are chips or not -- DH and I debate what are chips) -- I usually put on one of the garlic & herby varieties.  Anyway, the wedges are your top crust & you bake it.

What we ended up with tonight - I ask my husband 'Is this fusion cooking or what would you call it?'  Steve: 'Posh bangers & mash.'  I think it's a compliment?

pasta with bolognese sauce,  garlic bread, steamed veggies and /or garden salad..

DH says that is the only was  english understand  spaghetti with red sauce.. 

Azroomie - do you put bechamel in your lasagne?  I don't!  That's weird to me.

Ended up with veggie stir fry as hubby forgot to take out the beef! 

Tonight - chili dogs w/Castleberry chili dog sauce smuggled in from the US.  I only hope it really does taste half as good as I remember it!

for lasange I use ricotta cheese..  but  i am just talking about regular pasta with bolognese  sauce tonight.. I honestly don't know what bechamel sauce is..  sounds familiar..  I'll loik it up in a cookbook..
