Saturday night dinner is normally

Postby JanB » 23 May 2020, 13:08

curry :Hi: :Hi:

Back in England, I'd do it most of the year too :lol:

Now too hot for me to be stuck in the kitchen, so we've decided on silly Saturday dinners, stuff we wouldn't normally eat or cook.

Next week, we're going to Sonia's sports bar in Ourique. We can sit outside, safely enough and have burgers and chips or hot dog and chips or a toastie. Or whatever else she's got on the menu. Apart from snails, think I'll give those a miss ;)

Then we thought of pizza and chips (frozen) for another Saturday.

And then there's hotdogs with onions.

Any other ideas?

Either curry or a fry-up here, normally, but I have some lamb leg steaks on their last day, so we're having them grilled with fresh rosemary, minted new spuds, and salad 8-)

Tonight we're having pasta arrabiata, made by Sergio.
Simple evening meals we've had recently have been chips and egg and scrambled egg on toast with bacon; quick and tasty.

We’re having curry tonight. I can’t say that we have a usual Saturday meal.
Before March it’d usually be something I’d pick up that morning in Tesco, like a nice fresh pizza from the deli counter or if both boys were away I’d get some steaks, but obviously running quickly into Tesco on a Saturday morning isn’t happening now.

Joe cooked for us last night; we had steak, chips, veg and peppercorn sauce. Amanda has been such a good influence on him, they’d cook when he visited her in Falmouth amd while we were texting the other day she suggested that I ask him to cook for us and he was happy to do so :D

Simple home made pizza here; chicken with assorted peppers and a few chilli flakes.

It's the last of the dough and sauce I made a few weeks ago so I'll get another batch on tomorrow. I don't know how it happened but I have six balls of mozzarella in the freezer so I need more pizza bases. :o :shock: 8-)

We've had another thought.

Go into Ourique in the late afternoon, have a couple of beers at Sonia's and then pick something up at the deli in Pingo, if they have anything left.

And fish finger butties :Hi: :Hi: :lol:

It would usually have been something quick and easy before the lockdown; with the football season in progress, I'd be getting back any time between 6:00 and 8:00 so it would be beans or spag bol on toast.

Pretty similar in lockdown, too; having designated Saturday baking day - we've produced 32 rock cakes this afternoon :shock: - it's now Cook's Time Off, so again it'll be something on toast. Or a Pot Noodle .... :oops: :lol:
