Lunch should have its own thread

[May Kasahara]

Fishcake and steamed cabbage. Chocolate brownie and a cup of tea for afters.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Now with added laxatives.

No after effects to report.

You need to eat more and report back.

They smell absolutely amazing too eh story ? Obviously, very mushroomy, but there's also a delicate sort of lilac (the colour) scent to them too, if you know what I mean. There's a very subtle perfumey smell to them.

I know exactly what you mean! but I never thought of lilac as a way to describe the smell. But I’m struggling for one that works for me.

There were five more globes at the same spot today. I covered one with leaves in the hope it’ll grow bigger and took the others. I’m really hoping at least one gets to spore stage but because the location is near a busy footpath and because of general mycophobia I expect any I leave will be trampled or vandalised or otherwise destroyed.

I offered to share my bounty with a Latvian person of my acquaintance (cos non-natives are much less mycophobic) and they declined, but asked where the spot is. I told them I’d give them the mushrooms but not give up the location… They laughed and said it’s the same back home.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Sausage rolls today.

 

[TopCat]

Got my kids coming. Aubergine parmigiana, steak, dauphinoise potatoes, greens, apple pie, custard.

 

[seeformiles]

Woke up today with a hankering for Gnocchi so have done the prep and made a Cheddar, Gruyere and Stilton sauce (& prepared a fresh basil and Parmesan garnish ). They’re resting in the fridge for an hour so it’s countdown to food ecstasy!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Half a pound of stilton on beetroot, apple & chilli crackers.

 

[platinumsage]

6 eggs and a mushroom, fried, with saffron pesto. A bowl of bran flakes with hot milk and hot chocolate soya milk, and raisins. A pint of tea, and a normal mug of tea.

 

[quiet guy]

2 bowls of chicken noodle soup, just what I needed to warm up.

 

[rubbershoes]

Tomato bread
Ham in cola
Apple crumble

I have only ate them once but yours look lush.

Why thank you! . Boiled for 3 mins, drained and mixed with the cheese sauce - Crikey O’Blimey that was a tasty lunch

They're fairly easy to make

 

[May Kasahara]

Three fingers of a Kitkat

I wouldn't worry - I had biscuits.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two mince pies.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Some pate that goes out of date today with some gluten free pittas. Might chop up some tomatoes to go with it, might not.

 

[sojourner]

Tin of tuna mixed with the leftover pasta sauce from tother night - aubergine, peppers, onions, garlic, basil, rosemary.

Gala apple.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover cheese and spring onion frittata, sliced of homemade seedy wholemeal bread with olive spread, salad, baby plum toms, celery.

2 apples.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Pasta and pork ragu.

Ate far to much. Could do with a doze now.

 

[story]

I‘ve eaten too much too.

Croissant stuffed with bresaola puffball mushrooms goats cheese cherry tomatoes, with cornichon pickles in the side, and I used the breville sandwich maker as a panini squasher. It was so good I had a second one, but that was too much.

 

[furluxor]

Gnocchetti in a sort of stew with mushrooms, celeriac mush and sherry. That sherry is indestructible, months on the living room windowsill and it still hasn't turned to vinegar. Maybe it never will?

 

[The39thStep]

Mixed grilled med veg with chicken thighs and rice

 

[sojourner]

Tuna mayo, sliced celery, red pepper, baby plum toms.

2 plums.

 

[Looby]

Leftover stuffing, gravy and mint sauce.
Hot chocolate.

Strange mix and I feel a bit nauseous but I may still be hungover (day 2).
Mr Looby got me to sniff the tequila this morning before he put it away and it was not a welcome smell.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Pork, sausage and black bean stew from the freezer. Some pearl barley on the side.

I'm quite liking these type of meals (and the cost saving bringing it in). Should fire up the slow cooker for another huge batch on Sunday.

 

[sojourner]

I had cheapo noodles pimped with peas.

Banana.

Love pimped noodles. Current favourite is Demae Ramen. So versatile.

 

[newme]

2 Chicken drumsticks, 3 chicken thigh skins and some peanuts. SO making two batches of curry and we had some extra meat out to cook. Frozen chicken parts have become a huge part of meals now due to the price for 2KG at tesco. Thighs for longer cooks and drumsticks for snacking/hot protein accompaniment.
