What are you eating today?

[Stokey Sue]

... we had a(n?) M&S gastropub moussaka. ...

Having worked in a field that uses a silly number of technical acronyms, I was taught that a or an is used assuming someone will read the acronym in full, so a Marks & Sparks dish... makes sense

However, I'm pretty sure most newspapers and broadcasters assume you will say the letters as written so an M (em) and S, I think this might be an actual slight shift in everyday grammar, not just the difference between technical writing and speech.

Which means at the moment it's hard to be wrong - where's Ms Dent when you need her?

[Suffs]

Susie or Grace? Or maybe both given the subject matter

[Earthmaiden]

I thought that M&S rebranded so that you're not supposed to say Marks & Spencers, Marks & Sparks or just Marks any more. The young know it by the new name (but are kind to grannies like me who still say Marks).

If this is the case, is it strictly an acronym?

Chocolate salty pretzels from Lidl Alpine week ('addictive'.)

[KeenCook]

ooo I missed those in my visit there today, damn!

[Pepper Pig]

Fish and chips from Waitrose.

[Suffs]

Scallop and king prawn linguine

[Earthmaiden]

Oh drool! The last three items mentioned are three of my favourite things!

Salmon with veg followed by an apple here.

[Amber]

Typical Valentines for us…two different steaks (mine gets put on the griddle after his has finished cooking!) with chips, fried tomatoes, and fast fried mushrooms. And a gifted Christmas Prosecco with salted caramels. And the rugby

[WWordsworth]

cheery tomatoes

I do love a happy meal

[KeenCook]

We had A WHOLE PACKET of the Lidl Lentil crisps (over the course of the whole evening, just polished off the last ones ) ETA they are "high fibre" which they call 4.6 g fibre in 100g, which makes me feel everso slightly less piggy
Rather good Sainsbury's very low alcohol blanc de blanc fizzy chardonnay, a COOK Beef Bourguignon with carrot and parsnip mash and a salad of lambs lettuce (OH's fave salad) and rocket, then h-m lemon posset.

[Gruney]

One of my favourites,tonight - ham hock in cider with apples, honey, and whole grain mustard.I've been looking forward to it all week.

[WolfGirl]

I haven’t added to this thread for a little while.

Last night we had Tesco’s Thai inspired fish cakes with chips and a salad of lambs lettuce, avocado and cherry tomatoes.

Tonight will be crab and asparagus risotto. OH is under instruction to buy a nice bottle of white on his way home from golf!

[Lusciouslush]

Thursdays dinner was h/m chicken soup made from the crimbo carcass with big fat dumplings Yesterdays Fish Friday was brill beautiful brill with new pots & green beans, tonight is very spicy udons with chicken & tmrw will be something with the haricot beans I have soaking at the minute - right now I fancy cassoulet, but who knows what tomorrow will bring.......

[Stokey Sue]

Thursday I had a huger "cold plate" of fishy things and salads for lunch while I was out, so no dinner at home

Yesterday I was quite hungry at lunch time so I had an American cheeseburger in the Spoons, adn when I came home made a not really Niçoise salad that include some poatoes and was topped with a grilled tuna steak

Tonight will probably be curry and chapatis again, or I might do rice, I feel a bit rough

[Suffs]

Oh dear SSue I hope you’re not getting this lurgy. There’s a lot of it about apparently

[WWordsworth]

An old favourite tonight, Delia's chicken basque style with a salad.
I have a slightly elderly little gem so I will chop it up and stir it through the rice.

[Uschi]

We had potatoes with herby quark and linseed oil. I had a glut of mustard cress and radishes, so they went into the quark, too.

[Suffs]

OH cooked tonight … sausages, oven chips and fried eggs … he had baked beans as well. Very well cooked.

[KeenCook]

We had half a roasted cauliflower left from last night so I added some roast broccoli and softened leeks and garlic in butter and made a quiche. I used feta, under the veg, and also had a whole bunch of supermarket thyme I hadn't used so cooked it slowly in milk, sieved it, and added it to the eggs.
It was very tasty. With a nice green salad and baby potatoes.
