Very excited tonight. Home made lasagne made with GF pasta sheets. It's a real effort making lasagne so it's a rare treat as I can never buy it in a restaurant. Sainsburys do an acceptable fresh GF lasagne but the key is in the word - acceptable.

thank you for confirming! I agree that bone-in steak at $6.99 has less value than boneless at $6.99 but Im also paying for the joy of bone. Im sure Costco prime boneless is fantastic and Im still mentally affected by the bone, which will also affect my perception of taste. I prefer to grill steaks that have only olive oil and salt, with maybe chimichurri; maybe Ill try to make other dipping sauces.
Im definitely not buying steak to cook with vegetables or to put in a pie.
So fun! Which sauce and cheese do you use? Happy supper and leftovers.

I like BBQ rockfish, but I find I need to grill it in a fish basket as it tends to fall apart on the grill. How do you do it?

These were especially thick fillets so I decided to simply try on the grill. Any thinner and I would have used a fish basket too.

I'm expecting to hear this quote in a movie some day.
Last night: old-fashioned tuna casserole, straight from mom's recipe index card. Campbell's cream of celery soup and all. Nostalgic, and tasty, but not quite the gourmet experience I remembered from so many years ago. I know, I was a weird kid. I liked tuna casserole and not homemade pizza (loved restaurant pizza though) back then. On a side note, realized I have her original recipe card, so I assume she doesn't make it any more!

I bet you can make a nice cream of celery soup on your own :-)

Grilled swordfish (thanks MSY & corky for guidance)
mashed potatoes (new best recipe)
snapper & mushroom gravy for the mashed potatoes (https://www.food.com/recipe/fish-fil...n-sauce-452564)
bok choy sauteed in olive oil with ground ginger & white vinegar
Lemon chunks
this was all extremely delicious and I’m extremely impressed with that snapper & mushroom gravy. [Removed profanity per FT rules].

Leftover blueberry muffins split, buttered, and toasted under the broiler (my favorite way to eat leftover muffins)
Mixed roasted vegetables.

I loved tuna noodle casserole as a kid, but recent attempts haven't resonated with my kids nor with me.
Tonight was roast beef with creamed spinach. My better half and I split a nice Bordeaux, and I'm now dipping into the cognac. I am reminded of the Courvosiers consumed post meal with various FT'ers on UA mileage runs.
