What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Firky]

Spinach :drool:

 

[BoatieBird]

Chunks of turkey, new potatoes, sweet potato, peppers, shallots & mushrooms all chucked in a roasting tin with garlic, olive oil and lemon juice.

 

[Espresso]

I have really impressed myself with tonight's invented tea

Cook rice as per usual - boil it up, turn it off, put a lid on it and leave it alone - but before the lid went on, I laid small pieces of fish on the top, to poach/steam.
Meanwhile, I fried up onions and garlic and whatever currylicious spices came to hand, threw in a handful of frozen peas and diddly bit of water and let that cook. Chopped up some coriander into that pan, when it was all cooked.
Add the veg to the rice and fish.
And scoff.
It was completely fab.
Ten minutes from start to finish and pretty bloody healthy, too. I feel very immensely virtuous.

 

[killer b]

making a chili - houseguest doesn't get home till aften 9 though.

least it'll have time to cook properly...

 

[Badgers]

Pizza with rostello ham, garlic sautéed mushrooms and Italian marscapone. New potatoes, coleslaw and salad on the side.

 

[Badgers]

 

[wtfftw]

Olives. Marmite cashews. Ice cream (mint choc chip). Peach ice tea with vodka. Spliffs.

 

[Biddlybee]

I'll come to you for pulled pork and you come to me for boiled bacon...?

Deal

 

[Orang Utan]

baked potatoes with leftover spicy beany mincey thing

 

[zora]

Oh my god - brown sauce? Urgh. I like it on fried eggs, and a bacon butty, but macaroni cheese?! The fella's terrible for abusing brown sauce - he has it with almost fucking EVERYTHING

Hah, I knew from my thorough reading of the urban archives that the brown sauce was a contentious move - but I did really like it! I generally only have it on fried egg and bacon butties same as you, but it did add to the flavour. I hate to say it, but otherwise it would have been a bit..well.. bland. Despite the fact that I made a delicious cheese sauce.
/right, I shut up about this now, I milked this one dinner over three days on this thread now.

Tonight was the old simple favourite of poached eggs and spinach on toast.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Going to the Korean for tea, bit nervous, counting on the menu actually being in Korean, otherwise we're going to be very

 

[TitanSound]

I did lamb Kofte last night in a curry style sauce. Have left overs for lunch....mmmm....

 

[BoatieBird]

M&S tenner deal is on this weekend
So we're having gammon joint with parsley sauce, a potato, tomato & mozarella bake, and some veg.
Pudding is profiteroles.
All washed down with booze because it is Friday.

 

[Firky]

I want another curry but I think my stomach disagrees so I'll settle with asparagus and feta quiche and new tatties.

 

[ringo]

I had some chicken and orzo I found in the freezer. It didn't look like enough so I also microwaved two spinach & ricotta canneloni to go with it. It was enough for two poeple, but I put a brave face on it and stuffed the lot.

Tonight we're staying at an Italian friend's house, so no idea. Tomorrow night we're staying at my Mum's so I predict a very large macaroni cheese

 

[sojourner]

is curry more expensive than pizza? or is it frozen pizza?

sorry

No, it was Co Op pizza and I'd already bought it - £4 Ended up having a shit ton of Encona sauce with it anyway to satisfy chilli cravings

Tonight, erm, we're having....chilli

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Don't know yet, Mr.QofG's is out so I'll probably get a ready meal on the way home. Mushroom risotto is tempting.

 

[mrsfran]

Ready-meals tonight: beef stronagnoff for me, pancetta risotto for Santino.

 

[idumea]

I approve of taking photos of people's tea!
More of this kind of thing.
I rolled in too drunk last night to eat my stew, but I had delicious, delicious duck confit at the pub.
Tonight I'm going to the Tate so will hopefully grab something in the members' lounge.

I am going to try this. What fish did you use?

Fab

I was once invited to a business bash at the Liverpool Tate by the people who sponsored it, and we got a free private viewing of the new Klimt exhibition that was on. It was fucking great knowing that a) it was free and b) I didn't have to put up with loads of people milling around me and getting in me way

 

[sheothebudworths]

My mum's coming down (SOON I hope...cos I want to clean out the guinea pigs hutch before I have to collect my daughter...and I can't go down to do it till she gets here! ) and I'm doing shepherds pie with green beans. She will be bringing pudding.

 

[Orang Utan]

cheesey baked potatoes

That is an exceedingly good question. And I can see why you'd think I know, but I don't really.

My fishmonger sells bags of what he terms fish pie mix and it's a mixture of fish offcuts, for want of a better word. It is what he has come up with so as he's not chucking away perfectly good small pieces of fish when someone comes in and wants so much salmon or hake or cod or whatever and he's left with a few inches of the fillet. He can't sell that as such so he puts it in bags and when a bag weighs a pound, he chucks it in the freezer, calls it fish pie mix and sells it for two quid. There are never any bones or skin in it, so I call that a bargain.
As you see, every time I buy it, it's different.
All I know is that there was white fish in it and salmon and smoked haddock. I just used the white fish for that tea. So if you are buying "proper" fish for it, whatever white fish you like would probably be the way to go, I'd say.

Though maybe smoked haddock would be nice, too, seeing as it's a bit of a pretend egg-less kedgeree, after all.
Sort of. Maybe. Or possibly not.

I bought a pizza cutter for the first time today so figured I'd best have a pizza. However all Tesco's had to offer in my price range (two quid) was something called a 'Sloppy Giuseppe' which didn't sound particularly appetising if not downright pornographic. Anyhow it was beef, peppers and onion so sounded OK. When I got it out of the pack though it looked very dull and uninspiring although I was pleased to note no evidence of Giuseppe's sloppiness.

So I've added anchovies, some sliced frankfurter and a ton of jalapeños and I'm eating it now and it's actually pretty good. Big pile of olives on the side and it's really not bad at all. Fuck I love anchovies. I should eat more of them.

The pizza cutter is shite btw. Today has been a rollercoaster ride, one way or another. Thanks for listening.

Take care of yourselves. And each other.

 

[wtfftw]

Massive scissors are best for pizza.

Massive scissors are best for pizza.

INVENTIVE, wfts!!!

Roast pork, roast potatoes, veg and gravy for us today...and me and the girl are going to make a lemon and vanilla cheesecake for pudding, too.

My son's going to some Laserquest thing with a couple of his pals (if he ever gets out of bed ) so he might well have to have leftovers!

I've also made up a blackbean sauce for tomorrow's dinner, so that I have as little as possible to do after our woodland walk, but tbf that was mainly cos I'm stalling cleaning the bathroom....

 

[Orang Utan]

something involving onions and rice
