Roast chicken and gravy with roasted potatoes and carrots on the side and orange/raisin bread pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice-cream for dessert.

Pepperoni pizza from a place I haven't ordered from in a while, and now I remember why. :cry:

Mussels steamed in sauvignon blanc, with garlic bread. And more sauvignon blanc.

Mussels in white wine with just a touch of butter and dijon mustard. Simple green salad, crusty Italian bread and a crisp Pinot Grigio to accompany, and a lemon tart for afters.

Chicken Hurry (thighs with a sauce made with brown sugar, ketchup and onion soup packet), rice and kale salad. I started Xmas baking today so we had some Irish shortbread for dessert.

Sounds good to me!

I'm toying with the idea of meat pie. I thought I'd make some for Xmas to freeze and give to friends/relatives but instead of a top crust, I'd use potatoes. Mashed potatoes would be ideal but they really don't freeze well, so I'm thinking that perhaps some frozen hashbrowns would do the trick. I might have to tinker with that today.

If I don't get around to it, it's going to be that old standby - spaghetti.

Chicken in a bag, the flavour becomes more intents when locked in with in. Roast potatoes to go with it and thick gravy.

Mushrooms on toast. I sauté the mushrooms in a lot of butter with a little cream at the end. Usually I tear a couple of leaves of fresh basil into it as it cooks, but my basil is on its last legs so instead I tossed some garlic in, because garlic. Mmmmmm.

I bought a jar of cranberry orange sauce a few days ago because I thought it looked interesting and decided to use it on some pork chops. After browning some pork blade steaks, I sautéed some onions, deglazed the pan with about 1/4 red wine, then added about 1/2 the jar (maybe 3/4s of a cup?), about the same in beef stock, hot pepper flakes and fresh rosemary, simmered the whole shebang for about 40 minutes, then served it over rice. It was very tasty for a weekday meal. I had kale salad for a side since we still do not have lettuce here.
