the dinner thread

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Tonight I cooked roast beef with all the trimmings, buttered carrots and peas, roast tatties, croquettes, garlic potatoes with cheese, gravy, mushy peas and creamed mash potatoes, enough for the usual 8 that turn up here every Sunday.

I get told now when it's ready to serve that one daughter and her boyfriend and their friend that tags along for the feed are not coming tonight, my other daughter is nursing a hangover so she is abstaining, my eldest boy is just back from a meal out with his girlfriend and my other son is not home from work so probably in the pub and having macdonalds on way home at about 11pm.

So just me and the missus. If any of you can catch a Ryanair flight to Cork in the next ten minutes I will keep it hot for you and even collect you from the airport. :D

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The missus is now in the bath with a glass of wine and has her ipod thing on and murdering some songs and ain't coming out anytime soon. :D

I would say something if I was a shyte cook but I could give Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey a run for their money. Looks like Monday nights dinner is going to be very tasty, thank God for microwaves :lol:

Seafood spaghetti last night. Clams, big king prawns and squid.

Roast leg of lamb today with roast potatoes, parnips, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, yorkshire puds (the missus insisted) and swede & carrot mash with lots of mint sauce and gravy. Absolutely banging. :thup:

No, I was going to add bacon but I thought six chicken breasts between the four of us was plenty. It was simple but delicious.

The missus used the leftover lamb from Sunday's roast to make a lamb biryani last night, with home made vegetable samosas. :thup:
