What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[fishfinger]

Chicken sandwich.

 

[Cheesypoof]

At a wedding....much prosecco and hors d'oeuvres which went on for hours (i'm not complaining as I love free food)....dinner was served around 7.

I chose a goats cheese tartlet starter with balsamic reduction, and seabass for the main. Actually quite excellent - we are on the Wild Atlantic Way right on the coast of Galway, fish here is amazing, you can actually smell sea salt in the air and its been mad sunny - we really appreciated the good luck. Seabass for the main which was gorgeous and presented it in an odd, tarragon butter sauce. Dessert was a decadent selection of loads of small things: lemon meringue pie, ice cream, brownie, all very grand but too much for me. And necessarily danced off later during the Siege of Ennis!...

I'm making something from a recipe leaflet I found in Tesco, because I'm utterly devoid of inspiration or imagination. Except I'm putting thin slices of potato in it, too. Yann And Pam's Recharge Ratatouille Recipe | Tesco Real Food

Edit: It was lush! And pretty, too. I'll be doing that again.

 

[Espresso]

I roasted a turkey thigh in the oven with cinnamon this morning. I reckon I will shred the meat and have it with rice, salad, hummus and a flat bread.

Weds was leftovers from work - toad in the hole with roast potatoes, which I did with peas and Bisto - which was a bit meh.
Thursday we had a chinese and last night we had more work leftovers - bagels with sausages, mayo and cucumber and some reheated chips, which were shit
I had to work today and completely forgot to think about dinner and don't have anything I can do from the freezer. I have stuff to make corned beef hash but not sure I cba, so I'm kicking myself for getting a takeaway on Thurs now
Might just be crumpets and crisps or something

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I'm having a go at a chicken tikka masala for that real authentic takeaway moment. Maybe. Seems there are a million different recipes and ways of making it, but I'm having a go at the Madhur Jaffrey one (with extra spice), although I've using some premarinated meat that I found in a halal butcher. Hopefull goes to plan. Looking forward to it as I've spent the morning getting rained on, so could do with something warming.

 

[Rebelda]

I should go and make tuna pasta but I want to order a takeaway.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Tomato & basil soup, with a pack of microwave brown rice and olive oil chucked in.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Back from travels. Moussaka and half a wholemeal bread roll with cashel blue, mayo and chorizo, toasted pinenuts. Diet starts tomorrow

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Well that tasted like it came from a takeaway. Not necessarily a good one, but think a step in the right direction and was quite cool making a curry in a wry different way to what I'd done before (add Yougurt to the Onions and spices, then chopped up Tomatoes and then veg stock and allowed to thicken)

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I should go and make tuna pasta but I want to order a takeaway.

It is Saturday...

 

[pogo 10]

2 jacket potatoes with cheddar cheese, a rocket ice lolly and lots of sparkling water. Might have scone with jam later.

 

[Rebelda]

It is Saturday...

We cooked. That means I'll feel extra justified in having one next time I fancy. Or tomorrow

 

[RubyToogood]

Quorn spag bol from the freezer.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Lamb shish

 

[moonsi til]

Went to a local community place for a bring & share veggie buffet. Most dishes didn't have labels so not entirely sure what was there but all homemade. I know polenta chips, red cabbage slaw, falafel, tofu Thai cakes, cous cous salad, risotto cake, more salads, amazing dips plus more. I took a Mexican salad. It was an amazing feast.

 

[moonsi til]

Tonight is a feta and spinach pie with filo pastry, asparagus, roast tomatoes, roasted beetroot (was craving this) and a few new potatoes. And glass of red.

 

[colacubes]

Tapas Tortilla, dates in bacon, olives, anchovies, red peppers, salad.

 

[Saffy]

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast onions, roast sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots and peas. There will be some Yorkshire puddings too!

 

[Cheesypoof]

Wholewheat penne with a sauce i made from bacon, red onion, garlic, cream and blue cheese. Served with parmesan and chopped parsley, kale and garlic bread on the side. It was decidedly underwhelming.

 

[iona]

Sunday is my meal prep day so treating myself to a readymeal after I've cooked healthy stuff for the rest of the week. Lasagne and salad tonight, not sure about pudding yet - I did buy some chocolate buttons which didn't survive the trip back from Aldi yesterday but I have a spare two quid in the bank even though I've technically spent all my food budget for the week, so I could get something from the Co-op

[UnderOpenSky]

Marinated pork, bean sprouts and stir fry veg. Was meant to be doing a roast but not stopped all day and can't be bothered now.

 

[May Kasahara]

Dunno. We had massive barbecue for lunch, so I'm not hungry atm. Maybe some salad and feta or something.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Corned beef hash and asparagus. Cornettos for pudding.
