What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Thimble Queen]

I had a cheese roll with cucumber, some fizzy water and painkillers.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

No takeaway? Hope you feel better soon at any rate.

I was out of packets of flavoured rice, so I ate bean feast! Bought it a few months ago, but don't think I've eaten it for at least 15 years. Anyway with veg and spices added it went alright with pasta. I'm working underground again tomorrow though so see how that goes.

Havent had it for years myself but from my recollection Beanfeast is alright!

Got cooked for! wild salmon fried in butter with crispy skin, new potatoes, avocado, profiteroles, and a tank of white wine.

Went to the pub and had the veggie chilli with half rice & half chips that I was meant to have 2 weeks ago but then I got too drunk to eat.

Not sure about tonight.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Chicken breast which I'll fry in five spice and panko breadcrumbs, so it comes out crispy on the outside, tender in the middle. To be served with roasted peppers, toasted sesame seeds, noodles splashed with sesame oil, garlic oil and soy sauce. Strawberries and cream for dessert.

I was supposed to be doing a bbq today, on our brand new fancy bbq, eaten at our new patio set - but I had a text from my landlord this morning saying they need to chop half the balcony off tomorrow (cos while they were doing the work to fix the fucking collapsed ceiling, which took them 18 months to finish and left us with all sorts of stress, they also extended it, without permission, cos they're dickheads and then my cunt neighbour next door complained to the council, cos she's a dickhead, too).
I'd heard nothing back re the balcony for months, so finally decided THIS WEEK to start making use of the *new* end - bought all the stuff, ordered an outdoor screen, too, so that cunt neighbour would feel better about us being *that bit closer to her* (it's a semi and there's already an alley way and a whole extra balcony widths worth of space between us anyway ) and spent the week building flatpacks, so TODAY, instead of enjoying it for the first time - cos it's finally got sunny again - I've spent the day trawling backwards and forwards moving it all back into the living room again, lol.

Tbf, it'll still be bigger than the original balcony and I'll just about fit everything in - but I'm not sure now if the screen will fit on the new end and now we're just all crammed in next to my NICE neighbour instead, where our houses are actually joined. Meh, proper FWP's tbf.

ANYWAY, I stuck the jerk chicken in the freezer while I was still sulking but have had the massive pork shoulder in the oven on low all day. It looks like it's going to be well nice but it's still not a BBQ (and I didn't get to use the hickory woodchips I bought - hopefully NEXT weekend D)!
Potato salad in mustard/mayo/yoghurt and KACHUMBER to go with it Thimble Queen

 

[Thimble Queen]

I hope it was zingy af mate x

 

[RubyToogood]

I'm going to a birthday drinks which has now turned into a picnic which means I have to come up with some food. In theory I like picnics but in practice either you spend half the day cooking or you slog down to the shops and turn up with some crap supermarket hummus and a baguette and feel like a failure.

I've got some spuds on the boil anyway for spud salad. Have other salad stuff in so will do a selection of salads which no-one else will eat because they never do.

Summer is quite stressful, isn't it?

My son had uninvited his bezzer after I told him the bbq was off (wrong end of the stick ) but I told him to reinvite him and he's just turned up.
He's not mad keen on *hot* food, but luckily, I was five minutes away from doing the dressing when he arrived, so I didn't put as many chilli flakes in as I would've but I still put SOME in!
Had just enough malt vinegar left in the huge bottle, too

 

[BoatieBird]

Roast pork tenderloin rubbed in a paste of fennel seed, garlic, chilli & olive oil.
Potatoes and cabbage from the allotment, carrot & baby corn. Gravy
Strawberry tarts (not homemade) for pud.

 

[BoatieBird]

Sorry about your balcony woes sheothebudworths, hope you get your BBQ soon!

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Chicken wraps with salad and home made coleslaw.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Thank you!
Tbf, the pork is fucking amazing - so I'm choosing to believe I would've just fucked it right up on the bbq

 

[Saffy]

Roast chicken, new potatoes and salad... again.
Might do some halloumi on the side.
Chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich for pudding

 

[blairsh]

Not sure yet, leftover pzza for starters

Quie fancy fried chicken but dont have the means

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Carton of chopped tomatoes, brown rice and sweetcorn, with chilli and olive oil.

 

[Voley]

Cheese on toast (Gouda) with Worcester Sauce and a mug of tea.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You OK neonwilderness - you liked something with the word 'sweetcorn' in it.

 

[Thimble Queen]

We has a big lunch of burger and chips earlier so I'm just having a garrrrlick cup-a-soup rn.

 

[May Kasahara]

The roast chicken was ace btw. Also made an apricot and plum crumble which was lovely.

 

[Rebelda]

Girl requested 'camping soup' - delicious gingery, garlicky, make-your-nose-runny, lentil soup with big chunks of carrot and potato that we had camping in may. Not only was it delish but I think for her (both of us actually) it is tied up with good memories. Camping with a load of brilliant urbs and their kids/dogs. Hunger from a long (for little legs) and exciting walk in the sun. Music, dancing and the best company. In a bowl. Who am I to say no?

Eta: Now I want to be in a field *cries*

It's ok, we all know you're a sweetcorn wrong'un
