What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Probably best not mention that to your GP.

Hehe - but soooo good, and I slept sooo well In fact, thanks to all the stuff I threw at it, my bastard hacking cough virus had fucked off by Saturday

Anyhoo - tea tonight will be a toss up between chips n egg, pesto spaghetti with sundried toms and garlic-stuffed green olives, and a big cheesy homelette on a bed of spinach, with couscous.

 

[Voley]

Ribeye steak and chips.

 

[colacubes]

Chicken kiev, coleslaw and chips.

Cottage pie, carrots and green beans...might add cauli if it hasn't gone on the turn over Easter.

Orzo pasta with peas and sweetcorn and garlic and chilli.

Cantonese turnip cake that my dad made.

What's right with it?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

What's right with it?

Everything - all that cheerful yellowy goodness.

I know we were all brought up on turnips and coal dust in the NE, but you should have a sense of adventure and try something new.

I've just eaten half a packet of mini eggs as I am a child who cannot wait for their tea to finish cooking (faggots, chips, broccoli and sugar snaps). The child me would be really jealous of the adult me eating my afters first though so happy days.

 

[May Kasahara]

Prawn, kale, tomato and caper spaghetti. It was unexpectedly delicious.

 

[RubyToogood]

Cantonese turnip cake that my dad made.

Report back!

 

[Virtual Blue]

Report back!

It was pretty good and I like to have it with a big chunk of crushed chilli/ nuts and oil.
Will learn how to make this and share the recipe.

It's 'using up stuff from the freezer cos we're skint' week.
Tonight we've got jacket spuds with either chicken curry or a chorizo and bean stew.

 

[Thimble Queen]

I dunno tonight, I fancy something easy and comforting. We've got paratha in the freezer so maybe paratha and fried egg.

Or some kind of one pot extravaganza as we've peppers and mushrooms to use up. There's a bit of leek that needs to end also. And a packet a pancetta.

 

[Chilli.s]

Kids food, bangers and mash. Kid will only eat a narrow choice of veg so peas it is. Last week complained about the peas, turned out that they weren't petit enough!

 

[sheothebudworths]

Daughter's friend stayed over last night and I'm just about to make pizzas for myself and her - but my girl had to have two big teeth extracted ready for her brace to be fitted and pizza's not really suitable so she's on ice cream for the rest of the day with some soup, for the health, later (and I'll have some of that, too).

 

[farmerbarleymow]

pizza's not really suitable

I suppose you could liquidise the pizza...

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Three bags of crisps and a cheese & tomato sandwich.

Same here.

But we do have four nice big spuds that I will bake for our tea tonight, and have with extra mature cheddar, beanz, and a good dollop of Mr Naga chilli pickle. Nom.

 

[May Kasahara]

I made an Indian beetroot dish earlier in the week, so think I might make a load more stuff to go with that - spinach and chickpea curry, maybe.

OK. I made a harrisa chicken and pancetta soup. I used the last little bits of roast chicken, pancetta obvs, mushroom, leek, red pepper, onion, chilli, fresh lemon juice, bulgar wheat, black beans, boullion, harissa paste and garlic paste. I topped it with a bit of parmesan.

 

[blairsh]

Slow cooked brisket with red wine gravy out of the freezer with mash and maybe green beans.
