As long as you bring some of that ravioli! :) Never been ambitious enough to make it from scratch.Sorry you had a bad day. I hope your evening is better!


Thanks.  A good friend of mine has been having a really though time lately, her husband is battling cancer.  Anyway, they sent him home and gave him a few weeks to live.  My heart is broken for her, we have children the same age and I was having a very rough time with it...


Tonight's dinner is my first attempt at Beef and Guinness Pie (I got the recipe from the kiosk at Tesco).  I made the filling on Friday and I must say, it was VERY tasty so I have high hopes.  ;D

We're having chili. Day two of a 'heavy' misting, blowing rain calls for hearty comfort food.

We are having potstickers!
I bought a big bag of them from the Chinese supermarket, and I am just going to make various different dipping sauces for them.

Oh yum! That sounds wonderful. :)

We're having stuffed chicken thighs wrapped in bacon (courtesy of the reduced counter at Asda) with rice and steamed veggies.

We had chili as well not as good as my moms chili but it was good though. ;)  :)

TamaMoo do you have your chili over rice or on its own? Dh usually has his over white rice but tonight he had his with wedges instead I just have mine on it own. ;)  :)

Oh, I just saw this. I'm sorry to hear that. :( My sympathy to your friend and her husband.

Hubby will have his over rice sometimes but after trying it once I decided it wasn't for me. I do like some shredded cheddar sprinkled over it though.

Tonight I made a "cottage pie" type of thing-
Sausages, plus homegrown veg - onions, peas, carrots, and yellow beetroot in gravy, topped with a clapshot mash and baked into a pie, plus a side of cabbage

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I am so jealous of all your veggies! That sounds delish. :)

I'm jealous of your veggies too!  :)

I made Moroccan spaghetti squash with sauteed spinach and mushrooms on the side.

Roast beef, Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, roasted beetroot and butternut squash with onion gravy.
So good!

We had a tasting for our wedding- I had yummy canapes, then a crab cake over lovely greens with lime coriander dressing, followed by rack of lamb over sweet potato mash with these delicious carmelised onions around the edge of the potatoes and something green that tasted nice and finally the most amazing vanilla bean cheesecake with some sort of chocolate ganache and homemade amazing ice cream.  So. Stuffed!

DF had different things but we're going with my main and dessert and DF's starter which was nicer than mine.
