Evening Meal

[lady-janine]

Just had a look and so far have found some pasta, chipolata sausages, sprouts, carrots, onions and a few tomatoes, one leek and one courgette. Now to exercise my imagination. Have already thought of something but is this what is known as fusion cooking?

[gingejbee]

No. That is desperation cooking!

[sanmac]

A cold supper for me. Canned sardine fillets, baked beans (cold), cheese, sliced onion, dill pickles, hard-boiled egg, and a side-dish of pickled beets.

[lady-janine]

Oh dear. Okay I will prepare a desperation meal. In it's favour it will be fresh and prepared and cooked and not a ready meal or a take away. Gluten free and despite what may be thought tasty..

[sanmac]

Oops, I forgot to add a small bowl of salad.

[lady-janine]

Sanmac to me that would be a desperation meal but if you enjoy it I promise not to criticise.

[gingejbee]

lj...wasn't meant to be unkind, it was the "so far have found" comment that amused me.

[sanmac]

I know, LJ, my wife died in April and I'm still trying to get used to cooking for one. Although in the above mentioned meal there's obviously no "cooking". But it's simple and tasty.

[lady-janine]

That's alright ginge. I have to make sure all meals are gluten free and OH is really a meat and two veg type that I get tired of especially I can't digest meat. So it means cooking two meals every time unless we can find something to share..

[Mamyalynne]

My 'found' meal tonight includes a tub of 5 cheese sauce (only slightly out of date) , half a cauliflower and two hot smoked chilli salmon fillets.

[lady-janine]

Sanmac I can understand that perfectly. OH is not much of a cook however much I try to show him simple dishes.

[lady-janine]

sounds good Mamy. Tasty. I could join you with that.

I’ve just had two baps with a Westlers burger ( the only burgers I eat ) , with gravy ,it’s just what I fancied

[Jackdaw33]

Westlers. Takes me back to the 60s and the Keenan burger stands dotted around the streets of Newcastle.

[pastafreak]

I'd turn the pasta, tomatoes and courgette into a mini bake with the addition of cheese. The rest could be turned into a kind of hash...everything chopped/shredded and fried up.

I've got a few chipolatas frying now...to be followed in the pan by marinated salmon fillets and a few halved tomatoes.
Mamya's meal sounds good to me too...I love hot smoked fish.

[-SharonA-]

Homemade chicken soup with vegs & Romano beans.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm having a tin of vegetable soup with some toast in a bit. That's about as exciting as it gets here, ha!

[Bobbisox1]

The only place I’ve seen sell them JD is Herons

[cashier]

Sorry to hear about Mrs Sanmac, sanmac. I think your meal sounds very nice, hope you had some crusty bread with butter with it. Cooking for one isn't easy, I cooked from scratch for 13 years for just me, but buying small portions is not easy and now I might have a ready meal once or twice a week just so I don't have to cook.

[Patsy33]

Just had roast chicken, cabbage, carrots, roast potatoes & gravy.

[lady-janine]

I cooked the pasta and turned the veg into a stir fry. Mixed the two together and then gave OH his sausages on top and grated parmesan. Seemed okay. I don't think OH was over pleased but . . . . . .
