Bolognase. For one

I have a pheasant. It'll be roasted, with bacon-wrapped chippolatas (sp?) and swede mash.

[Tuscan Tart]

Cheats parpardelle a la Jamie Oliver.

Leaks, pancetta, pasta, breadcrumbs and porcini muchrooms. Looked lovely when he did it.

Nowt, Fish can have a pizza, I have tonsillitis and feel crap and can't eat because it hurts, looks like it is a tin of soup for me tonight.

Chicken fajitas followed by Profiteroles, not exactly exravagant but its what the OH likes.

ETA: And a nice bottle of wine followed closely by a row I'd imagine.

We went down the simple route last night, oysters & champagne to start then Smoked salmon, crayfish tails & salad for the main.

Nice & easy, nice & tasty.

Pad Thai or Nasi Goreng - not sure which yet.

In the end I plumped for a Pear, Walnut and Goat's Cheese Salad in a Honey and Mustard Dressing, followed by Salmon fillet cooked in Lemon Butter and Dill, sat on Tagliatelle with Asparagus, then the Lemon and Butter poured over it. For Desert I cheated and just dressed the plate in Chocolate Sauce, Icing Sugar and Strawberries, then stuck a GU pudding from the microwave in the middle!
