I don't know how many times I've got to say this, but - I DON'T make this much food every day. I give my hubby (who only eats breakfast, never lunch except on Sunday's,) a choice of three meals. He chooses one. Sometimes through out the day he might invite people back for dinner. If I haven't got enough of what we're having, i will pick one of the other two options depending on how many are coming.
We eat around 7.30-8.00pm.

Blimey! Sausage & mash for me tonight.
This recipe beggers belief, How far d'ya think my pension would go if I ate like that.? The cost of that lot would have to keep me for a week.!!!!!!
