What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sheothebudworths]

ETA - Forgot I had raspberries in - so those with meringues and plain yoghurt for pudding, too

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Can't be arsed to open a pack of mackerel, so just seaweed oatcakes and water.

 

[pogo 10]

Chicken and pancetta tortellini with carbonara sauce. Got hot cross buns and some nice prosecco truffles i got off friend today for my birthday.

 

[RubyToogood]

Nothing.

I have this recurring problem when I cycle to work that I need something reasonably substantial before I set off home, or I just don't have the energy to get up the hill, but then it's a bit much having tea as well, and whatever I have in the office is usually not very healthy. I've never quite known what to do about this - taking another meal in with me is not going to happen really.

So I basically had the other half of my sandwich from lunch, 3 satsumas and a load of biscuits.

 

[moose]

Rigatoni wth tomato and olive sauce and fresh basil, salad and sesame grissini

For all my talk of vegetables, I had a fishfinger wrap with cheese and roumelade.

 

[Biddlybee]

I've liked that but not really sure what roumelade is the other stuff though

It's a bit like a herby tartar sauce... it makes the wrap taste like you are eating a filet-o-fish but in a good way

 

[Cheesypoof]

iona - I mince 3 garlic cloves and fry gently in a little bit of oil, then add a tub of mascarpone and stir until smooth, add a handful (or two if you fancy) of grated parmesan, and when that's melted in, chop some fresh spinach and chuck that in for a few mins.

This is optional but fucking well lush - add the juice of half a fresh lemon towards the end. Thins out the sauce and adds an amazing note of freshness that brings out the spinach and works against the clagginess of the sauce

I cooked this ^ tonight much as above and my Lord, it was bloody amazing. with pasta and fried chicken. Thanks Soj!!!

 

[catinthehat]

Last night before Im back to the UK so as befits tradition I cook tonight. Noodles with garlic, lemon grass, ginger, chilli, coconut milk, red pepper, zucchini, fish sauce, onion and prawns. The prawns here are always called lobster tails (or maybe they are lobster tails they are massive).

Hey nice one Cheesypoof ! Did you use lemon juice in the end? It's such an easy meal to make isn't it?

Well, I'm round me Dad's after work, and very skint indeed, so we're on the LG tom and basil sauce wot's in the cupboard, with fusilli, black olives, and shedloads of mature cheddar on top.

I did yes. Added a tart freshness to the sauce, which stayed perfectly intact.

Went to the shops to buy steaks and they were on special got two nice bits of sirloin for just under 7 quid.

I had to take my daughter to the orthodontist so we used two bus ticket vouchers for Maccy D's - Big Mac and fries for me and a chicken burger and fries for her - and shared a crunchie McFlurry for pudding
Got my son a micro burger to even things out which he's doing with some oven chips.
He's pissed me right off this week though so he can stick his pudding up his arse
