What's for tea tonight? (#8)

Roast beef
I had invited some poor sod over for dinner yesterday but by the time it was supposed to go in the oven , the meat was still a huge frozen lump:mad::mad:
Pedelled down 2 siansbasterds an got a chicken - starvation shame avoided pheeeeeeeeew!!!
Today, its soft and lush
Am still proceeding as if I had company - lots of leftovers I suspect......
So;-
Roast rib of beef with Cyprus spuds, roasted parsnip, carrots, broc, leek and cabbage
Having place 2 onions into the roasting tray they will have turned to mush inside, excellent thickener/flavour for the gravy
Farkin starving
Only had a pasty, Morrisons, was in there to get the mits on Mustard Powder - soo much better than the liquid tosh we now have as a universal offering - crap shit for my strength of mouth pain control.......:thumbs:
 
Veggie Tom Ka soup with noodles. Its become a bit of a favourite here. I was making it with rice initially, which was nice but the rice seemed to make it taste quite bland. It works better with noodles :cool:

OH made this and it wasn't good. :( The mange tout tasted really bitter to me, like really bad. If you fished them out it was ok but it kind of put me off. I feel bad for OH bc I was meant to be cooking but he took pity on me for having the Monday mis and offered to do it instead. Its probably a good job I didn't make it cos I might have fallen apart :facepalm: if it were me that cocked it up.

I've resisted the wine until now and I'm eating Haribo Goldbaeren also :cool: Things feel better. :thumbs: I don't know why I didn't crack on with the wine earlier :mad: :thumbs:
 
They've got them in Lidl for £15 at the moment, I bought one yesterday to replace the one I got as a student some *cough* years ago which recently disintegrated.

I had fish and chips in the pub. Should have had the salad ffs.
That's not a bad price. What else are they useful/used for? :oops: :hmm:
 
I make coleslaw quite a lot, just use a knife and a grater.

Not sure I can justify it unless I up my crumble and pastry production :D
 
That's not a bad price. What else are they useful/used for? :oops: :hmm:

On top of what's already been mentioned, we do CAKE MIXES in them, too (which is great for bad hands - mine are fucked from work - no creaming)! :thumbs:
AND you can make magic banana 'ice cream' - freeze inch thick slices of banana, then blitz with a tiny bit of greek yoghurt (like maybe a TBS to two bananas?) - it's AMAZING!!! :eek: :cool:
Errrrmm...breadcrumbs, too...and various beanburger type things when you just do the pulse thing to make your mix stick together better, even when you don't want it completely blended.
It's defo useful enough that I wouldn't not have it, iyswim (and that's even since I treated myself to a stand mixer which does all the cakey/pastry/bready/whisky things now).

Chicken curry for us tonight, with naan bread and onion bhajias and kalettes ( :hmm: GM wizardry :hmm: )...more mini hot cross buns for pudding.
 
Kalettes are lush!

I do cakes with a handheld whisk, don't really use breadcrumbs for anything and only eat beanburgers once every few years :D

edit: I don't have the cupboard space :facepalm: :(
 
But MAGIC BANANA ICE CREAM!!!! :cool:

(And crumble! And hummus! And sliced/shredded veg!)
I do have a big kitchen, tbf - it's left out in a corner on a counter top - but my last kitchen was tiny and I know it's a different story when you have limited space. Better get the small girl on it then :thumbs: :D
