I want your dinner

 

[May Kasahara]

Leek and wild garlic fritters, home made oven chips, some sort of side veg.

Sneaky chocolate puddings once the kids are in bed.

This was okay, although as always when I make fritters they were a bit doughy and floury. Sadly the whole thing was ruined by a massive wave of nausea that came out of nowhere Still feeling like I might vom.

Last night was leftover chicken risotto but it looked a bit stodgy and unappealing so I baked a camembert covered in fresh thyme, chilli flakes and pureed garlic and had that on top with crusty bread. So heavy it needed a bottle of wine to get it down.

Tonight will be quick microwaved pasta meals all round before the babysitter arrives so that we can go out early.

 

[BoatieBird]

We have an abundance of eggs atm so I think tonight be will be a frittata.
Panchetta & feta probably, might sneak in a bit of asparagus too.
Steamed new pots and PSB to go with it.

Hope you're feeling better today May Kasahara

Pizza for us! Wiiiine first, but definitely definitely no rum for afters. Lesson learned.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two bags of ready salted crisps. Cod mornay with mash, peas and green beans. Gin.

 

[Looby]

Spanish chicken out of a jar. Mr Looby won't be home until 7 so I think I'm expected to prepare the chicken and open the fucking jar. I'm sick, it feels beyond me. [emoji1]

 

[pogo 10]

Leek, pepper, onion, chilli, spinach, mushrooms, aubergine and a tin of sardines. Pear, red grapes and an apple for puddo.

If that's all that's required, and you're sick, then can't he do it?

 

[Looby]

Yeah he can but he's been running round after me all week and I'd quite like to eat before 8. I just have to chop some peppers and shove it all in the oven but I'll see how I feel in a bit.

 

[neonwilderness]

Steak and chips. I've borrowed a water bath from work to "test"

Really nice tapas yesterday at a great spot in Gran Canaria. The restaurant was nothing fancy with about 14 tables and I had to book four days in advance. But I quickly understood as it's one of these magical places where the prices are very reasonable and the staff love what they do (so did I). excuse my bad camera phone

Baked goats cheese crusted with almonds, honey and caramelised onion



Mini chorizos stewed in cider (I know what they look like..... ). Best chorizo I have ever tasted, very tender with delicious dipping oil



Native black Canarian potatoes with red and green mojo sauces. They look a bit bullety but were very soft with a lovely smokey flavour. The sauces were freshly made



The special - crispy pork belly with creamy potato and apple sauce



Cod and potato croquettes with lime



Black pudding with quail eggs and piquillo pepper marmelade



Enjoyed these with really cold, pear-flavoured white wine. Dessert was sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce (had already tucked in!). All this was €58 which I think is good value for top quality tapas, glass of wine and dessert for two people

 

[Voley]

Chicken with green pepper in black bean sauce (extra spicy), crispy chilli beef and chilli salt chips from the New Hong Kong.

 

[nogojones]

Aubergine and peanut curry, wild garlic tarka dhal, cucumber raita and chapatis

Cheers - still feeling queasy on and off but not like last night. Think it's a weird pre-period hormone rush thing, I've had it before and it usually means I'm about to have a real iron-rimmed bastard of a special lady's time

We're having pizza too - cheese and tomato for the kids, salami, courgette, red pepper and shallot for us.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Fish 'n' chips from the local chippy.

 

[RubyToogood]

Assortment of root veg that were sculling around the fridge (parsnip, beetroot, celeriac, onion, potato), roasted with a couple of veggie sausages.

 

[BoatieBird]

Hope you're feeling better soon May Kasahara

Where the fuckety hell did you find that? [emoji1]
I did manage to chop some chicken and veg and shove it in the oven. Mr Looby cooked rice when he got home and it was lovely. [emoji4]

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Where the fuckety hell did you find that?

I learned of that abomination here - it's a post-nuclear war food.

Last night was hot dogs - son had a couple of mates round so they padded theirs out with oven chips and me and the girl filled up on crisps and Ripples. I made a half arsed effort to celebrate the end of term with some wine but I was too knackered to put much into it in the end
Daughter's gone to stay the night at her friend's so I had planned that we'd have a fish night but son's not-gf is staying over...and she's not that keen on fish so they're going to sort themselves out with a Tesco finest meal - which was meant to be steak, but they did a weird thing with the dates online and it wouldn't let me order them so I'd had to change it to a chicken in white wine sauce thing and then they didn't have that in so think they've ended up with a chicken in red wine thing, which they'll be having with chips I'm going to make him do them some veg, too

I'm probably going to have the same thing I had for brunch - a toasted red onion and chive bagel with cream cheese, smoked mackerel, cress and beetroot and probs more crisps and another Ripple for pudding

 

[May Kasahara]

Barbecue!

 

[BoatieBird]

Crispy duck & pancakes.
Lemon rice & hot smoked salmon with dill if anyone's still hungry after the duck.

 

[pogo 10]

Sirloin steak, leek, cabbage, spinach and mushrooms. Red grapes, an apple and a pear for puddo.

 

[twentythreedom]

Refused to shop or cook after a hideous week, so went to Pizza Express. The fuckers have taken Melanzane Parmigiana off the menu.
