Why don't you look at the 'Whats for dinner tonight' thread and get some ideas on there. It's what I always do when I'm stuck.

As I'm dishing out the evening meal I have the next day on my mind! If I wake during the night I'm on my iPhone looking at recipes! You're right, it's a constant nightmare - especially as hubby eats fish/ meat & I'm veggie. I try and make one thing in common like pasta - but he loves pilaf and I love potatoes.

Well tonight the common carb will be giant Cous Cous made in a tabbouleh style.

Hope you're well QS - I always remember you from the other BB forum. (gma)

You've got a bigger dilemma than me - 2 meals, I'm struggling with 1

I've tried making cous cous once, I don't have the knack for it,

And hi, of course I remember you xx

I have chickens, mince and beef, I cooked prawns yesterday.

As for the cupboards, everything, I don't lack ingredients, just ideas.

I'm sure something will come to me later - or it's beans on toast!

Aww, that's lovely - I always liked you & still do btw.

I find Cous Cous best when you - pour the amount of Cous Cous into a Pyrex bowl - crumble over a favoured stock cube ( veg, chicken etc) add a dash of preferred oil - then cover with boiling water, cover again with cling film. Microwave on full for 5 mins, stir/mix with a little oil - then microwave in 1 minute increments until cooked. Leave to half cool then add a bit of oil - stir - then let cool again.
When cooled, stir again and add little oil of choice ( not a lot - enough to loosen the grains) allow to cool & add herbs etc.

Love QS btw - ((hug))

Aww thanks UG, the feeling is mutual

Thanks for the cous cous tip, when I'm feeling brave I'll attempt it. In the meantime, I'll stick to tried and tested methods; rice, potatoes and bread
