What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Jeff Robinson]

Sweet potato and butterbean quesadillas with guacamole, chipotle sauce, spring onions and coriander.

 

[shifting gears]

I just made melanzane alla parmigiana (aka aubergines with tomato sauce n cheese) - been meaning to make it for years and what a meal it was... Bit of faff with salting, drying and frying the aubergines but my god... So worth it.

Everyone else has decided they're going out for a curry. I really don't want a curry so I'll probably just annoy people by not really eating anything and then have to take a massive detour on the way back to my hotel to find a shop.

Ah yum. Yeah it really is worth it, but the faff is the only thing that stops me from having it every day. I reckon it would take about two weeks for your blood to turn to cheese.

Lavish amounts of olive oil too... Proper artery clogger!

One of the richest and most satisfying vegetarian dishes I've eaten, though.

 

[May Kasahara]

Last night it was soggy fish and chips out of a polystyrene box, plus ale.

Today Mr K is doing a roast, dunno if it's for lunch or dinner though.

 

[treefrog]

Homemade mushroom risotto, from a recipe on a vegan cookbook that I'm slowly making my way through.

 

[sheothebudworths]

We've got a 'Finest' chicken/bacon/leek filo pie which I'll probably do some mash with and green beans/runner beans/petit pois...and we didn't have either of the blueberry frangipane tarts on Friday so those for pudding, warm, with clotted cream ice cream.

 

[BoatieBird]

Yesterday's tea was a hog roast at a neighbour's 40th birthday party.
Soft floury baps with roast pork, stuffing and a generous lump of crackling. Yum.

Tonight we've got slow cooker sausage casserole and mash.

 

[Rebelda]

Nandos!

 

[blairsh]

Beef curry which went in the slow cooker about an hour ago. It better be fucking good for all the fannying about like this on a Sunday morning.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Lamb curry's been in the slow cooker for hours, smells amazing.

 

[Orang Utan]

Meatballs with a mustard, cream and chive sauce
Fusilli lunghi pasta

 

[Looby]

Easy roast with chicken breasts, roast spuds and carrots, cauliflower cheese and green beans. I'm considering stuffing too but that's quite a lot of food!

 

[nogojones]

bacon, cockles and laverbread coated in an oatmeal crust, with stewed tomatoes. I was going to serve it on freshly baked sodabread, but I crushed my carton of buttermilk and its now in a big puddle outside the front door - at least the cats happy.I really cba walking back to the shops, so I guess I'll just have to make chunky chips instead, which is no great sacrifice, but I've been looking forward to sodabread all day.

Have you got enough normal milk that you can make buttermilk from?

oh! I don't have any full fat milk, but I've got some 10% fat Turkish yogurt that I could potentially dilute. It might just work.

I'd best crack on if I'm gonna get this served up in time

I hope it works, would be great if so cos you were looking forward to it.

I'm quite slapdash with cooking generally, but when it comes to baking I follow recipes religiously. This might be a liberating experience

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A citrus herby broth, with a seedy baguette to dunk. Half a pound of cherry tomatoes for afters.

It only went and worked. Nice one cesare


Because I said chunky chips out loud before your intervention I was obliged to provide them as well ...

 

[cesare]

Yay! Fantastic news nogojones and look at those amazing photos, nice one

 

[pogo 10]

Four cheese tortellini with arrabiata sauce, didnt realise it had gorgonzola in it till id cooked it, but tasted alright. Pack of iced gems and warm milk.

 

[moose]

Sweet potato and butterbean quesadillas with guacamole, chipotle sauce, spring onions and coriander.

quesadillas with no queso?

 

[Thimble Queen]

Sausage sarnie. Red sauce.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

That's right, straight dillas all the way...

can't really call them quesadillas then. they are something else, like vegetarian 'haggis' and such like

'batatadillas' has a nice ring to it (batata = sweet potato)...

 

[idumea]

Dinner at a friend's yesterday - really nice borscht and sour cream, followed by salad and goats cheese / butternut squash pie

 

[BoatieBird]

Trying to use up some odds and sods from the freezer so this morning I took out 1 portion of chicken, rice & peas and 1 portion of Thai spiced turkey curry. We'll decided who's having what later.
There are 3 of us though so the other one can have a jacket spud or something.
