What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[QueenOfGoths]

Peking style pork mince noodles - to celebrate Chinese New Year

 

[Biddlybee]

You'll have to eat it more caerphilly in future won't you?

No need to brie like that.

You're fucking emmental, you.

I wish it was nacho cheese

...but it was cheddar

 

[Pip]

Someone on here once made macaroni (or was it cauliflower?) cheese with egg yolks rather than flour - sort of cheese custard I suppose - has anyone got the recipe?

 

[Biddlybee]

Was probably ringo

 

[Pip]

Chicken's nearly cooked, gonna wing it

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Tonight I did pasta with a sauce which I made up as I went along.

There was some quite tasty bacon fat and a few crispy shards of bacon in the frying pan left from the lads lunch (bacon sarnies) so I sliced up a load of mushrooms and threw them in and stirred them about over a high heat, got the scissors out and snipped up some chipolatas. Then I threw in some crushed garlic and a goodly sprinkling of chipotle chilli flakes, rummaged in the fridge and found some courgettes, bunged them in, sliced, for good measure.

I then added the best part of a carton of tomato juice that needed using up before too long, plus a bit of black pepper. That bubbled away in the pan until I drained the pasta and then I just stirred the lot together and stuck some cheese and the grater on the table and left the ravening hordes to it as I retreated up to my workroom with a cup of tea and a packet of fags.

 

[foamy]

A large chicken kebab with a pecan pie for pudding after a long evening at the hospital.

 

[Biddlybee]

All ok I hope foamy?

And Mrs M... no food for you?

 

[Pip]

Winged flourless cauiflower was incredible, never gonna make a cunting roux again.

 

[killer b]

I won't, but sounds lush... anything cooked for 6-7 hours is going to taste lovely!

i didn't work with my cheese on toast.

 

[Biddlybee]

I did think toast would be the exception after I posted that

That ain't half a bold statement Pip... not sure I could live without cheese sauce ever again.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

And Mrs M... no food for you?

I don't like eating then, but the ravening hordes would start eating the table so they eat earlier and I usually have some a couple of hours later.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

That ain't half a bold statement Pip... not sure I could live without cheese sauce ever again.

I think she meant she'd never do a cheese sauce with flour again now she's discovered the cheese egg custard method.

 

[Pip]

Yer. That.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Last night son was at his friends and daughter ate at her friends before I picked her up so for the first time since before Xmas I only had to feed myself! So I had a reheated spring roll and three bags of crisps.
So tonight I must use the chicken thighs and make the chicken and sweetcorn soup we were going to have on Friday.

 

[Numbers]

Baked chicken thigs/legs and macaroni cheese - I'm hopin/relyin' on the macaroni cos the missus owes me a favour she doesn't know about yet! - but can't deny is owed, when I bring it up, when she's off the phone from her Ma (2 hours so far) when we had something else planned

 

[Boppity]

Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, the works!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Guinea fowl, roast potates, cabbage, sprouts, carrots and stuffing. Oh plus gravy. I feel ill and need cheering up!

Want my wicked cheese sauce recipe?

 

[Thimble Queen]

A buttery, garlicy, peppery, leek, potato and pearl barley stew/soup thingy topped with much chedder. It's very nearly ready

 

[tufty79]

crumpets and beans. and possibly cheese.

 

[Biddlybee]

Ah, was being a bit dim last night. Cheese egg custard sounds interesting.

 

[stethoscope]

Sweet potato, spinach and ricotta lasagne with chunky chips.

 

[Pip]

It sounds bloody horrible and you know it

 

[aqua]

left over pasta thingy with garlic bread and some sleeping

I've had such a chilled day even heating up the pasta is going to feel like hard work

 

[Thimble Queen]

Stew thing was made more tasty by the addition of crutons, ready for another bowlful already tho

 

[Numbers]

Want my wicked cheese sauce recipe?

I was never man to say no, so yes please

 

[killer b]

Hot spud salad, braised leeks with cheese, beetroot in cream

 

[Pip]

I was never man to say no, so yes please

Pour a whole friggin carton (what's that? 300ml?) of double cream into a bain marie, add pepper, mustard, and some philly, stir stir stir, and four egg yolks, stir stir, add all the cheese in your fridge, stir, thicken, pour over cooked macaroni (or in my case cauliflower), bake in another bain marie (probably over-cautious but I didn't know what I was doing and was nervous). I'd fry some bacon then deglaze with a bit of white wine if I was doing macaroni and wanted something too

Writing that made me feel like Simply Sara

 

[feyr]
