beef salad and jacket spud...now that's boring  

Paprika chicken, with couscous and a mixed salad.

Dunno, going out for dinner with my friend Julia, so whatever is on the menu... It may include a side of sweet potato chips though because the place we are going does amazing sweet potato chips

A stir fry with pak choi, beansprouts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and oyster sauce. I won't decide til the last minute whether it'll be beef or chicken in though. I live on the edge that way 

We had a 3 course pub lunch today so nobody`s hungry yet

I`ve made butter bean, bacon and parsley soup for later. 

I got the recipe from the Delia Smith link that rosie posted..it`s fab and filling!

That soup sounds so yummy. Glad you found the link useful Scotty

i.m.o. you can't go wrong with Delia - or "Delilah" Smith, as she's known in our house, lol.

cauliflower curry with wild brown rice 

I've just had a not very exciting, but very tasty,  salad of rocket, spring onion, red pepper, cucumber, tomato, jalepenos, lightly grated cheese and a drizzle of french dressing with ham and more big slices of red pepper and cucumber.

I've got a big pot of home-made soup simmering aswell for later.  Trying to be good today because I pigged out on Pizza yesterday

  Was it nice?

not bad actually - home made of course so I add what I like and fiddle with the recipe but brown rice is boring and I'm on a diet so ....... 

We had dominoes pizza.  The kids had 5 pals around between them, so it was nice and easy and we had a bunch of buy-one-get-one free vouchers.

I don't mind brown rice, if I'm doing it for chicken fried rice or something I use chicken stock when boiling the rice.....gives it a bit more flavour.

The cauli curry sounds strange to me but then I can't make curry from scratch.....well actually I did once by accident, it started out as homemade soup.

Was it cauli only Pengy, or did you put some other veg in? I'm gonna try making different curries... 

It's not that difficult to do a homemade curry if you have curry paste and cauliflower was all I had left so I bunged in some other veggies and voila!    I usually only ever use a cauli for cauliflower cheese so it was nice to use it for something else 

Oh I make curry with curry paste  Yummy.

Sounds nice Pengy.

I always put a dash of ketchup in curries - got that tip from Shilpa Shetty  

funnily I was told to blitz a can of chopped tomatoes and add that - it did give the taste a lift 

Pengy , if you are on a diet, and you like curry...try this. Its from the cook yourself thin book.

http://www.channel4.com/4food/...ala-with-rice-recipe  ( you could leave use brown rice instead) and use quorn if you veggie

This is the nicest home made chicken tikka masala ever!! I had it at a friends party once, (nobody was on a diet) but she chose to make it because it is so delicious. I agree, and have made it several times.

you could also use the sauce with chickpeas, just omit the oven bit of cooking the chicken and make chickpea curry! The sauce is to die for.

I made chicken curry with boiled rice.

Mr Yogi said it was very tasty.

Hi Scotty you know what's coming....YUK, I HATE BUTTER BEANS!  

Don't like currys either.

To answer the actual question...

....poached egg on toast for him. chicken and peas and corn mix for me.

Letsbeavinsoup!! ! 

My mouth is watering 

Oo thanks Gypsie - I'll look at  doing it with quorn cos I am a veggie 

seriously it wasn't that bad 

My my my  

I`ve found a few recipe I`m going to try.    Great link rosie, thanks.  

 I actually didn't see the word curry when I replied to you.  I honestly thought you'd just had cauliflower with brown rice.

My pasta machine arrived today, so guess what we'll be having tomorrow! 

Hi Fluffy  

Aye!  

Me too Ells. I usually use Pataks. 

I'm not fussed on Indian curry....would rather have chinese so I use Golden Dragon paste, actually it's more of a powder form these days.  Lovely!

That`s good to know, my son prefers Chinese. I`ll look out for it - ta Ells!
