Lunch should have its own thread

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Just made a salsa with some home grown chilli's (80,000 scoville units) which will be poured over a poached egg sat on some smoked salmon.

 

[sojourner]

I made pancakes for the fella's birthday lunch. Never made them before and I'd probably use rings next time, but he loved the misshapen efforts with lemon and sugar, and I had maple syrup and blueberries with mine. Tasty. Would make again.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I made a ham and pea soup with a ham hock I've had in the freezer for ages. Bread from a polish shop I went to on Saturday.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover white basmati, one tinned sardine in oil, chopped spring onion, lettuce.

Pear.

 

[furluxor]

Leftover soup of potato, cabbage, kidney beans, chilli, lemon and coriander leaf. This was a fridge-clearing meal when there was bugger all in the fridge (and the shops were busy mourning), so added some Ajvar as well. The results were surprisingly good.

Stovetop espresso with sugar. Feeling a bit rubbish and queasy. Probably lack of sleep. Not sure the coffee is helping.

 

[rubbershoes]

Home made biryani

 

[RainbowTown]

Was going to have this but, sadly, now past it's sell by date.

Rest In Pepperoni

Rings? A small pan is fine if you want a regular shape, but a big pan is better as you get a bigger pancake

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Half a pack of fruit pastilles. Bloody back to back meetings.

Yeh, I bought crumpet rings in 2020, but you can use them for pancakes too. I am absolutely fucking rubbish at handling pancakes, it turns out. Mine was supposed to be a bigger one, but ended up in about 8 crumpled pieces.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover Cumberland saussie with crushed buttered spuds. Fit. So bloody pleased I'm enjoying food again

 

[May Kasahara]

Spinach, red pepper and feta quiche with chopped salad.

 

[Skim]

Heinz Thai Vegetable soup. It was rubbish.

Bought back some saffron cake from Devon, so maybe a slice of that this afternoon, to add to the general “carb overload” theme of this week.

 

[sojourner]

Toasted homebaked white bread, laden in butter and dark roasted crunchy peanut butter, a decaff coffee, dark choc digestives

 

[Epona]

I had some slices of tiger bread (on special offer) with butter.
Also a sweet lassi, because I realised that I bought ordinary yoghurt last week instead of Greek yoghurt, not thick enough for tzatziki later this week and having no other plans for it, a nice lassi was the first thing that came to mind.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A wham bar.

 

[danny la rouge]

Lidl does vegan flee’s cemeteries. So I’m having one of them with a cup of tea.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover veggie saussie and cannellini bean stew, and a Gala apple.

 

[sojourner]

Late lunch thanks to stupid traffic on the way back from Delamere Forest. Sourdough crumpets with marmite and cheese, coffee, 2 dark choc digestives.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Rapid dahl. Basically, using the tarka method, but with red lentils, gets food in the bowl so quick.

Boil the red lentils with a stock cube as the very first thing you do. Once that's started, then chop the onion and fry the onion and spices, then stir through the red lentils. By the time this happens, the lentils are almost cooked.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Bananas

 

[sojourner]

Lentil and veg stew with chopped up porcini.

Gala apple and a banana.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Left over black bean and sausage stew with Mash and barley. Days like these are better then going to the canteen.

 

[ruffneck23]

2 Fried eggs on toast with HP sauce.

 

[story]

Leftovers

Duck breast with leeks, spinach, mushrooms, samphire, broccoli and loads of juices.


I scored a whole box of overripe pineapples on Saturday night so I chopped them all up and I’ve had them stewing in the slow cooker overnight. I’ll have some now with yoghurt and make the rest into jam, or maybe just reduce it and reduce it til it’s sticky goo and not bother adding sugar.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Accidentally ate a bag of jelly babies.

 

[rubbershoes]

Goat curry with mango and beetroot salsa.

Not made by me

 

[zora]

Pea, marrow* and mint risotto.

*(see What's for tea thread for more detail on all the other things I made with that marrow. But have broken the back of it now, only one more meals worth left)

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Pasta and veggie sausages. Rapidly thrown together. I should probably go shopping tonight.
