Lamb chops and mint sauce. Yummy!

Listen to me, you consumers of microwavable TV dinners, instant noodles and assorted crap, you are dealing here with a man who likes to make himself a PROPER meal of an evening.
Take this evening, for instance. Nothing fancy: honest Welsh lamb chops with baby new potatoes and fresh broccoli.
Moreover, I am a dab hand at timing (aided by a little clock thing). The spuds take 20 minutes, so set the clock for 10, then, having set it for 5, heat the grill and get the chops on the go. For the last 5 minutes, heat the water for the broccoli, meanwhile dishing out the lamb chops and harvesting the mint for the sauce.
Good, eh?
Except for one tiny thing this evening. Having got to the 15 minutes out of the 20 that the potatoes require, I realised that, although the water in the pan was bubbling merrily, I had forgotten to put the potatoes in.
Can anyone recommend some palatable TV dinners and maybe a few easy noodles?
