What's Cooking This Weekend.?
39 Answers
I've got a pot of Chilli Colorado simmering away that I'll have with plain rice and a tomato and pepper salad later.
I'm going to cook extra rice for fried rice tomorrow that I'll have with some sort of sticky Chinese chicken and a cucumber salad.
What have you got lined up for lunch/supper this weekend?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Baked potatoes, I often drop them in a wood fire, skins pierced, some Cornish Sea Salt inside the alufoil and 50 mins to an hour depending on the spud sized and heat of the fire. Love all sorts of fillers but a nice ham, chive and Philly with some ground black pepper, and life isn't too bad.
Probably a Chinese for me tonight, haven't thought about tomorrow yet.

Thank you, EC. (I often only eat one meal per day, so I like to make sure that there's quite a bit of it).
For anyone who'd care to know about my latest 'cheapo' meal creation for one person:
Use ½ tin of 'value' Chicken in White Sauce (90p per can from Morrison's). Heat in a saucepan with a bit of milk to thin it down. Crumble some blue cheese into it and add plenty of freshly-ground black pepper. Pour over some 'value' pasta and serve with garlic bread. Delicious!
