Sheperds Pie and having just died in the heat of the kitchen, tomorrow its salad!

Hi well I had a right mix up..... couldn't be bothered to cook tonight, it's too hot. So I walked up to Tesco's and got - scotch eggs, pork pie, quiche, coleslaw, potao salad etc - my own little mini buffet! L

Can I come to your houses.....pleeeease.. Just Hubby what we're having...... Chicken with Rice and Peas!!! Probably corn dumplings too!!! Jacquie xxxx Update: Also Carrots and Blugger!!!!

Jacquie, Is that plain, stewed or jerk chicken? I love both stewed and jerk. Suzy :o) x

Suzy, just stewed today....jerk chicken is good too. Jacquie xxx

Jacquie, I would love the recipe for stewed chicken, if you have one Suzy :o) x

I'm having chocolate and crisps for tea.

BC....just seen fresh Mango....ours are just coming ripe now!! Suzy....Recipe....they don't do recipe's.... If with burnt sugar.... Put oil or butter in Pot...add brown sugar and wait till starts to get black - then throw in your meat and stir around and let it simmer down add seasoning.....garlic, onion, pepper and whatever else is handy (the more the better) add water and cook for a while....then put in rice and split peas, blugger and whatever else you have and cook on top of stove till it's ready. That's my husband's words....... If just stewed.....as above but without the sugar. Local seasoning would be sythe and thyme..... Jacquie xxx

Germaine I cant have Haddock I would feel like a cannibal my daughters married name is Haddock, I love these proper pieces of whiting or cod between two scalloped potatoes dipped in batter and deep fryed. Davex

Just had Smoked Haddock, asparagus and baby corn of the cob. All done on the health grill as cooker still Broken! Like this thread though it's giving me all ideas for the rest of the week..Yum. What to cook when your ovens broke and you've had enough of salade and stir fry. Sue

Yesterday we had cold salmon with baby new potatoes and a salad with various leaves, tomatoes, cucumber. Today I got some ham for another salad, but we will have that tomorrow as I have some leftover mince that needs eating. It's been browned with onions and red peppers, so I am going to (honestly its really nice) mix in some grated fresh apple, sultanas and green olives and have it with tagliatelle. nell

Cos its been really warm today, we have had nothing to eat yet even though its 8.15pm but we have drank 5 glasses of lager and cider, so wondering what to have... maybe a take away and then carry on drinking until bedtime. I know I have to get up at 6am in the morning, but its too lovely a night to miss and enjoy ourselves. Yvonne Ps I could just eat those Jersey Royals with lashings of butter on.. yes im off to Asda up the road to get some. mmmm

Jacqui, Does everyone but me know what blugger is? (sounds rude). Ann Glos

I'm Having Kippers!!! Been at the Lincoln Agricultural Show all day so they were easy to prepare, i love em. David

lol Ann, Your not the only one, I just didn't think to ask. Jacquie, thanks for the recipe, what other herbs/spices (english) do you suggest. Suzy :o) x

Mmmmmmmmmmm nice fresh Dover Sole - Hubbys a fisherman and just come home yum yum yum :-))) Going to eat outside, don't forget to look for the moon tonight its supposed to be biggest for 20 years. - about 10.30pm. Your recipe sounds good Dave will have to try that, I thought you said scollops but just read your last reply and you said scolloped potatoes? Maggie

Dave sorry you feel like a canibal eating haddock but Cod. You don't get many of us in Fleetwood liking cod. Give that to the dog!!! We are spoilt aren't we, mind you there isn't the fish about nowadays. I remember when I was little going round with parcels of fish for everyone. And Cray fish (scampi) by the pillow case full cheap as chips. Shrimps by the gill I remember going for some bought gills instead of pints what a lot my dad said well I will pay but you can pick, potted shrimps for ages. Prefer brown shrimps to prawns. Germaine x

Actually Germaine I do like smoked haddock but dont tell my daughter lol Davex

Oh yes smoked haddock. Love it with a fried egg on top. Won't split on you. I like that but not finnon too many bones we used to get that a lot when we were kids yellow fish, my mum used to take the bones out for me she was a softy. Germaine x

Homemade corned beef pie, creamed potatoes, mixed veg and gravy and I agree with Strump, salad tomorrow. M.
