Apart from £1 pizza from Asda?  :lol :lol :lol

Probably pork fillet, baked in a soy sauce, ginger, honey and lemon juice sauce. Then served with rice / green veg.  :)

Piss-easy, very tasty and great for a lazy night in.

Couple of boned chicken thighs - mix olive oil, ground cumin, coriander, garlic, finely chopped red chillies (to taste), juice of half a lemon, all mixed. Coat chicken pieces in this, grill on a ridged grill pan (about 15-20mins, turn once), serve with simple salad, slices of lime, salt and crusty bread to mop up the juices. Great on a summer evening!

It's great - use a sharp knife to check that chicken is cooked through - juices (if any - won't be much from a couple of thighs) should run clear, no pinkness in meat. (Just don't want you blaming me for food poisoning!) The trick is not to burn the spices...

You do realise you're talking to a keen cook who was brought up in France?  :lol

Can't take any chances tho!
Better if you can leave the chicken to marinate for an hour or two before grilling.

I am eternally lazy when it comes to food preparation - so quick is preferably, but simple is necessary ;)

This means things like; Baked Beans on Toast (classic), Jacket Potato (nuked as red98 put it :lol), anything that can just be shoved in the oven for 20 mins - which mostly includes some sort of breaded / battered, meat / fish :D

If you're eating for 4, how come a XXXL t-shirt will "flap about in the wind" on you?  :lol

Chicken + chips or pizza :D  I hate cooking, which is a pity because I love eating.  My rule of thumb is if it takes longer to prepare than it does to eat then I can't be arsed :D

I have recently rediscovered flatbread wraps.


If you can master the art of sealing the bottom (fnaaarrr) when you roll it the fillings are endless.


I like..........................


A small tin of pilchards mashed with balsamic vinegar and or worcestershire sauce + salad?


Potato salad/coleslaw with ham and/or cheese


Tuna and sweetcorn salad filler (readymade, lovely) with avocado.


Pack of cooked chicken tikka with mayo and salad.


etc etc

Baked beans for me - over brown toast with lashings of mozerella cheese on top slapped under the grill till its all melted

Eggy mess(as we call it) omelette really , but anything you have in fridge goes it , whatever herbs / spicies you have . Cook in big frying pan , then last 5/10 mins put under grill to fluff up , can even mix couple egg whites and pour in just before you put under grill for extra fluff . Easy and feeds 4 , bit of salad on side if can be arsed .

Cold beer out the fridge and curry from the curry house. Failing that egg fried bread with mixed herbs, bacon and beans.
