What should we have for dinner?

When you have a whinging diabetic pregnant wife who's been cooking all day and is sick of the sight of food?

(PS - her words not mine Very Happy )

ooh I could just eat that. Nothing wrong with good wholesome food like egg and chips
woodsprite

I agree especially when its eggs from your own ducks/hens and chips from organic and local tatties. Even the tommie ketchup is homemade from last years tomato glut. Very Happy

We are having some variation on eggs, spinach, spuds and milk, as that's what I have. Either spinach and ricotta pancakes, pasta or quiche if I get to it in time. possibly with the addition of some salmon.

The fridge has just reminded me that garlic bread is an option, too.

Cold tin of baked beans with a splash of Tabasco.

Out of the tin.

homemade mutton burgers with garlic and chilli on the BBQ, absolutely delicious Very Happy A bit on the roaring fat fire in places but that's what a big BBQ is for.

She settled for omelette and chips with strawberry tart to follow

Not exactly a "summery soup" as such, but I made sweetcorn and potato chowder last night and it was rather good Very Happy

We had garlic soup at Y Caban just outside Llanberis at one of their buffet evenings. First time I've had it and it was glorious. Hope yours turns out at least as good.

O.H. has finally mastered the rabbit trap so we had bunnyburgers with home grown spuds and salady bits.

What type of trap is this?
lottie

It's a live catch trap I got from Charlies in Aberystwyth---I never had much success with it---but my husband has taken it over and sets and baits it on their usual runs and is being pretty successful.
