What on EARTH is cannelloni???? It sounds difficult 
As much as I'd LOVE mince on toast, I can NOT see DH being very impressed... But mmmmm jeepers that sounds good...
Spag bol is competing with sheperds pie so far I think... Ugh. I have NO motivation to cook dinner tonight! |

I think this would be the best idea so far! 
But I got out of cooking last night, as we went to the MIL's, so I kinda feel I HAVE too cook tonight....

I often just brown the mince then add a can of pasta sauce or canned tomatos. And DP and DS have that with pasta or potatos or rice. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Oh dear, I might have to saddle up the horse and trek into town to the general store to see if they have some of this canneloni stuff
A pasta dish, I may have to do some googling! I'm not a very.. "experimental" cook.. Well, I could say I am... It just never works out for me
Mince on toast. I usually just make mince, maybe some small mixed veges (peas, corn, carrot mix sorta stuff) and a sachet of... Something. I  maggi sachet flavourings! Lol...
It ended up being mince and potatoes. So basically shepherds pie, just not in one dish with cheese! Here's a question. When you get mince in a restaurant/cafe... The mince is always really finely mixed up and no big lumps. How come my mince always sticks together and I get lumps?? How do I de-lump it? My grandma makes the best mince. And its never lumpy! |

Ooh yes you could do mince, mixed veges and mashed potatoes? that's always, always a hit here!
We add lots of water to our mince and it's never lumpy maybe that's it?? It's always juicey... or uhm saucey lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Its chilli or nachos that are the faves here when we have mince.
To "de lump it" (can't say I have heard that term before ) you need to cook it for a long time and keep breaking it up as you cook it, and before long its all nice and small.

Heres a question - You get mince in a cafe?? what?? Ooh you should get your Grans recipe - my dad made good mince - hes probably the same age as your Gran - maybe its a generational thing to make good mince - the stuff that tastes awesome on toast the next morning ------------- http://lilypie.com]

We had mince for dinner.
My favourite way to have mince is in wraps (We always make sure we have a packet of HomeBrand tortilla wraps in the pantry, they are soo versitile ), with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Mmmm! Easy Peasy! -------------

I add onions, a can of chopped tomatoes, some mixed frozen vege, salt and pepper and thicken up a little bit with cornflour mixed in water if it looks like it needs it. Even DH loves this (and being an ex-chef he is incredibly fussy) -------------

You don't get mince in a restaurant/cafe? You poor, poor north islanders! Even the Monteiths bar serves mince on toast!!!
Your dad the same age as my gran RJ?? Oh seriously, your not that old!! So surely he can't be!
It might just be a "boil-the-sh*t-out-of-it" for a while thing... Hhmm. AND remembering to pull the mince out in time to thaw. *sigh* I'm terrible at that! And getting her recipe..??!!! That means visiting her...  What a scary thought...!!!
