What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[mrs quoad]

Thanks to a frankly staggering series of fuckups, serendipities and incompetences (including encountering marrows, discovering the beef had was furry, and forgetting to turn the oven on) I've just pulled two nearly-vegan whole stuffed cheesy beany marrows out of the oven.

In the meantime, however, I've also actually eaten a progressive series of increasingly food-poisoning-prone foodstuffs from yesterday's room temperature conference buffet, some of which spent an additional hour or so in a c.50C oven.

So, yeah. The marrow will probably be every main meal for the next four days, whilst I spend the next three hours awaiting an inevitable, ghastly dose of the self inflicted - and entirely avoidable - galloping trots.

 

[mrs quoad]

I also still have no idea why I bought the second marrow.

I always buy two marrows.

I invariably regret it

Pork and apple in a sage cream sauce, creamy mustard haricot bean mash, broccoli. Rhubarb and ginger ice cream for afters, eaten straight from the tub. Also beer.

Where is the rhubarb and ginger ice cream from? It sounds relevant to my interests

 

[May Kasahara]

Co-op. It was a bit too sweet for me tbh, but still tasty.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Think it will be colcannon mash with a pack of chopped up smoked salmon stirred in.

Swapped the salmon for a lot of mature cheddar stired through. Not such a healthy tea after all.

 

[Orang Utan]

Treating myself to either a posh kebab or a Neapolitan pizza

There is no such thing as too excited about food iona

My mum has a recipe for home made alcohol using marrow, that goes something like: put a marrow in a bag with some sugar, leave it in the shed. When it's all liquid, drink it.

I can look it up for you if you don't value your sight

 

[Thimble Queen]

Belatedly jumping on the kachumber bandwagon (Thimble Queen)

Going to make a big pot of aubergine, spinach & egg curry to last through 'til giro day, plus separate baked spicy cauliflower and possibly chana dal (or I might just chuck a tin of chickpeas into the curry)

I get far too excited about food

All the kachumber. All the time.

Marrow rum this is called.

My mother used to do something altogether more wholesome, which is marrow and ginger jam. I used to love this as a child because it mostly tastes of sugar.

Undecided so far, maybe some form of takeaway

 

[Biddlybee]

More cottage pie.

I really fancy pasta, but can't bear to waste food, so cottage pie it is

 

[mrsfran]

Lamb curry, dhal and rice.

 

[RubyToogood]

I don't reeeeaaaally want the spaghetti. I want a salmon teriyaki bento takeaway. I ought to eat the spaghetti though

If only Biddlybee lived nearer...

 

[Biddlybee]

Argh, we could swap

 

[May Kasahara]

Mr K is making salmon and noodles.

 

[Rebelda]

Vietnamese vegetable spring rolls, papaya salad and beef bun hue

 

[pogo 10]

Declined a chicken wrap at friends and made a stir fry instead. Am now eating truffles. Might have a few red grapes after.

 

[neonwilderness]

BBQ Chicken Tikka Naan Kebab
Chicken tikka cooked with fried onions, peppers & tomatoes. Served on a naan bread
+ Salad
+ Garlic sauce

A few beers as well

We were supposed to be out for tea, as we were at an all day gig. Until I realised I'd left my antibiotics at home and we had to leave before the last two bands so I could get home and at least take one.
So M&S frites and salad grabbed at the train station on the way home.

 

[mrs quoad]

To no one's surprise, stuffed marrow.

 

[RubyToogood]

I had the salmon teriyaki in the end, followed by ice cream. The spaghetti will be fine tomorrow

I think my recent pasta overload was triggered by the bloke on OkCupid recently who messaged me to say that I should eat more quinoa and less pasta to lose weight. I've never craved pasta so much in my life since then, having not really eaten it in years.

 

[moose]

Wanker. Now I want pasta.

 

[iona]

RubyToogood what a massive fucking twat (the quinoa bloke I mean, not you obvs)

Just a lightly buttered jesus bun and a cuppa for me tonight - already trying to build an appetite for tomorrow's lunch!

 

[Cheesypoof]

Tried Ireland's takeaway pasta joint in Temple Bar this arvo before getting a bus.....medium sized portion of pasta with ragu plus can of Italian lemonade for €10 was nice but a rip off....they wont be getting a fulsome review.

 

[Voley]

I'm doing roast lamb with garlic and rosemary and my brother and sister are doing roast spuds, celeriac with creme fraiche, yorkshire pud, cauliflower cheese, carrots, leeks, new potatoes and all the trimmings. About an hour to go but I'm drooling already.

 

[Biddlybee]

Wanker. Now I want pasta.

You and me both!

Last night was the sausage chilli thing with grated cheddar on top and crisps for pudding, today is steamed momos with soy sauce and then rice pudding

Are you making your own momos, and if so, what are you using for the outsides?

 

[Biddlybee]

*googles momos*

We're going out for Kurdish food.

Yup - and I use the round dumpling wrappers.

ETA - this sort of thing...
