I’m off to Susannah’s for tea!
IRL we’re being lazy and having a chippy night - fried chicken and chips for me.

It’s super dooper easy- alternative Sunday dinner idea? Haha
It was yummy by the way. Just stuffed my face! Hehe
Couldn’t be bothered to cook tonight so we just had fish and chips with peas from the freezer. How lazy am I???
Our slow cooker is fabulous, Roz. I can make a big stew, serve up half (or 1/3 even) for dinner, then freeze the rest for a night when we’re too busy to cook. And I make up batches of stew for my mum, which we freeze in little margarine tubs (she doesn’t eat much, so a portion only half-fills a 250g tub!) and put in her freezer. We will do different batches over three or four weeks, so she has a choice of meat & sauce. Then I and her helpers can just take one out of the freezer and heat it up in the microwave. It’s especially good on a day when I’m not there to cook for her, as the carers don’t have time to make proper meals, so she still gets good food.
You can make soooo many yummy things in a slow cooker - well worth using it!

I have a veritable feast of de-frosted food for supper tonight!
Came home from work/then shopping yesterday to find a large puddle on my kitchen floor.
Of course i immediately looked at my two Westies sitting very unconcerned in their basket.
Turns out my fridge/freezer has given up the ghost.A new one is coming tomorrow from that company advertising on the telly.
Can’t wait!
I agree Lizzie, a slow cooker is a must. We make lovely curries in ours, one of Rick Stein’s recipes where you just shove everything in together and leave it for hours.
Saturday night for us is always steak night, hubby does the cooking on Saturday, in fact he does the cooking most nights, I am so lucky.

I love my slow cooker too - I just bought a small one this week and have used it most days to make soup. I just chuck a few veggie in the pot, add stock and let it do its thing for a few hours.
We’re on pizza from the freezer tonight.
Chicken Korma with chips tonight 
I love my slow cooker I have two, an extra large one for meat dishes and a little second hand one from ebay for my veggie dishes.
To day I made sweet potato and butternut soup which we ate half at lunch time. I’d roasted the butternut and sweet potatoes last night and then cooked onions, leeks, carrots and little dwarf beans with veggie stock, tin of tomatoes, herbs and a glass of white wine in DH pressure cooker it’s years old he had it before we got married and it’s brilliant.
Not sure what I’m going to have for Tea as DH is having steak and mushroom in some yummie bread rolls.
I might have a wee peak into the freezer and see what I might have hanging around that requires eating up in the veggie department.
The dog is demanding his dinner early to night he keeps begging, putting his chin on my knee and kicking his bowl about.

My dinner is Late !
I started watching Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur while I was copper foiling and didn’t realise how long it was on for.
We are having Fondant potatioes (first time I’ve tried these so hope we are), mushroom omelette and asparagus /peas,
Problem is that the Midwife is now on so I’m torn between the TV and the cooker.
Might have to resort to Iplayer.
My slow cooker let me down today 
I left a curry in it on the auto setting while I went to the Pre Raphaelites exhibition in Liverpool and came home to find half an inch of burnt-to-a-cinder crust all around the edge and a terrible stink in my kitchen. I guess the auto setting on this little one doesn’t turn itself down as low as my other two slow cookers. Pfft. Anyhoo, I scooped out the middle bit, chipped away at the burnt chunks, washed it out with the aid of a brillo pad, put the curry back in with a lot more water and am keeping a beady eye on it now.
At least the exhibition was good!
A woman after my own heart - waste not want not!
We’ve got ‘reduced’ fresh roast tomatoes, ala Hugh at River cottage with pasta, truly tasty.
Bon apetit everyone

I’ve just made a fish pie for tonight. I love it, but I wish it didn’t make the house smell like Billingsgate Market!
