What's for tea at your house tonight?

Ended up making pasta and sauce last night due to crazy hunger after gym...but it was really good!  Haven't had pasta in ages.  Tonight bf is cooking me an Indian dish...I think Prawn Pilau (basically prawns with rice).  Should be nice and spicy and YUMMY!  I love having a bf who cooks!

My BF is a pretty decent cook, too! It is nice, isn't it onetiger! He mostly sticks to basic English cooking, but he's really good at a Sunday roast chicken dinner with all the extras.

DH thinks cooking is beans on toast...

but he follows instructions nicely.

As long as he does the washing up, you're doing well!

Okay, I have to make a confession.  I am not the cook in the house, my husband is.  I can bake up a storm, but am unable to make anything remotely resembling food.  And to make it worse, he's the sort who can just throw something together on the fly and it tastes amazing.  If I had to cook for us every night we'd each weigh 500 lbs because all we'd eat is pasta!

Hey now!  I resemble that remark.

I'm on my own tonight.  AFter weeks of eating out and cooking larger meals than usual, I'm in the mood for something light.

Any suggestions?

Tuna stuffed tomatoes with a small scoop of homemade mac n cheese.

I have everything for that.  It's perfect; DH doesn't like tuna so I tend to eat it when he's away!

he does all the washing up, thanks! 

Tonight we had a concoction that i cheesily call 'sausage scramble'.

It's one of those  Matteson's Smoked Sausages, sliced up,  with onions, garlic, chilli and sliced potatoes, all stir-fried together till the potatoes are crispy & brown... seasoned however you like it... we use garlic salt and garlic grain pepper.

It's easy and cheap... sometimes you can get those Mattesons sausages for 89p, or sometimes 2-for-1.

Frank working tonight so I'm alone in the kitchen to cook for the kids. I made some spaghetti and dumped a jar of Ragu on it. That was basically it.

BTW...I really hate the term "Spag. Bol." it sounds like a disease! In the USA we don't call it Spaghetti Bolonase do we? I never heard it before I moved here.

I'm having a lazy night tonight, so it's tuna for me too. Tuna and a baked potato with a salad. Aaah, tuna. The old stanby. I'd be lost without it.

No, we don't call it that in the US (unless you're being uppity maybe ).  It's just spaghetti (or spa-Peggy if you ever watched King of the Hill).  And yes - spag bol does sound like a disease.

My hubs is a decent cook too, btw...but he says I'm better.  (Smart man)  He does the curries, paella, Sunday roast & stuff like that.  I do the American style cooking - Tex-Mex, Italian, etc.

I'm crazy for tuna also -- but it has to be a decent tinned tuna for me (not of the nasty stuff over here that smells like catfood) so I usually either get a Sainsburys yellowfin in the can or their fancy albacore (if I'm making something fancier) in the jar.  Either that, or fresh tuna.

Otterpop -- your sausage scramble sounds awesome!  I could even do that for a big breakfast/brunch with a dollop of salsa on top.

Suzy homemaker went on strike today at our house -- so we just had salad out of a bag & baked frozen pizza.
