Re: Dinner
Oh dear, you are just sooooo wrong. Probably because you are doing it wrong. I've converted my bf from being completely dismissive, and even derisive of roast chicken, to being the one who insists we have it regularly now. Ok, he does then go and buy the most expensive bird from Spinneys every time but it's always delicious. Roasting a few veggies alongside, including simple things like onions and garlic which take no effort at all, just adds to the treat (and to the ingredients for the left-over stir-fry).
But then again, all roasts are fundamentally dull.
Ah, many thanks.
Well, yes, it's personal decision to work late. I'm usually the only one in the office between 5:30 and 8, which I enjoy very much but the work isn't wasted either.
I do make a big pot of something on the weekend and have that for lunches during the week, along with the broccoli. Never felt the need to have a big / heavy meal at night, hence the salads. Sometimes I don't eat anything at all. Just not hungry.

Re: Dinner
Last night - pork chop casserole ... an easy, one dish supper. Tonight - fish pie with a creamy, buttery mashed potato topping.

Yes Mission, but not for the reasons you think just because you've been propagandised about poor little piggies.
Hnd, why would you submerge a poor innocent pork chop in a dank and soggy casserole instead of browning and caramelising their delicious juicy crispy sweetness perfectly on a hot pan?

Re: Dinner
Hmm...mmm...pork....
It's fascinating how there are many Muslims who will do every possible haram thing but draw the line at eating pork. Which is so beloved by the rest of the world. Never quite figured that bit out.

Re: Dinner
They're not submerged. They sit on layers of thinly sliced potatoes and onions, over which has been poured a tin of Campbells Condensed Mushroom Soup. Put a lid on the dish or cover with foil and bake in a hot oven (230c) for about 50 mins, or until the spuds are just tender then remove the lid and brown the chops/crisp the fat for about 7 minutes. Delicious and, as said, a one-pot meal - and if you've got a timer on your oven it can be prepped in the morning and then stuck into the oven which is set to be ready when you get in from work!!

Re: Dinner
Do you like/eat beef bacon or veal bacon? If so, then you like the taste of bacon (or a pale imitation of bacon).
