What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sheothebudworths]

Go mrsfran! Good to see you cooking again

Uh huh! That's ace that bit when the baby stops being *such* a baby that you can start doing *other things* again!!!



(Especially when the other things involve eating, tbf )

 

[ringo]

Shut up, you tart!

How're you going with the MEAT?

(why did I have to capitalize it? WHY? WHY! MEEEEAAAAT! )

Ahem

Just updated the meat diaries

 

[Looby]

We were going to have beef jalfrezi but we've been out all day with the dog and ended up with chips for lunch so I might cook the curry tomorrow instead as the beef is defrosted.

Problem is I really wanted lamb shanks tomorrow so I could cook the curry tomorrow and warm it up Monday.

Hmmmm

Anyway-I've just eaten some Danish biscuits I got from the pound shop and there are some finest burgers in the fridge so I might have one of those later with loads of dijonnaise and salad.

Or just biscuits and beer.

meat diaries?

I wonder if I can wangle an invite to ringo's for tea

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Well, it was breakfast for Death Metal Magpie & Very Tall Lodger who are on night shift tonight and tea for Blind Lemon.

Home made pork and chilli burgers (well, long burgers to fit baguettes) with fried mushrooms and tomatoes.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Tea (which will be at about 4am when they get home) for Very Tall Lodger & Death Metal Magpie will be a big pot of sausage pasta. Pasta goes down best with the night shifters as it's good whether eaten cold straight from the pot or reheated in the microwave.

 

[Biddlybee]

You are a good mum/landlady/wife

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Well, blokes need feeding. They have hollow legs. Well Blind Lemon's legs have been full for quite some time and his stomach is full. I think I'm now filling his chest cavity.

Thanks! Yeah, it is good It's lovely to do a "me" thing again. And on Monday baby will have her first taste of bread (toasted) and butter, and it will be home-made. I'll probably never make her home-made bread and butter again now, but for her first taste she gets the special treatment

 

[polly]

Dirty rice - rice cooked with pork mince, chicken livers, prawns, celery, onions, garlic, chillis, etc. With PSB on the side.

 

[mrsfran]

Loaf!

You've trained death metal magpie well btw. He complimented me on my tights the other day

 

[colacubes]

And for my tea it's some sort of brazilian sausage with ratatouille and saute potatoes

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Probably the shock of the new. He's never seen me in tights!

 

[Ms T]

Ahem

Given that he's chowing down on lamb shanks and toulouse sausages, I'd say he's very much an ex-vegetarian!

I am going to work shortly and have had a crap, can't be arsed, what's-in-the-fridge tea of a bit of cheese, a toasted bagel, some parma ham and a dollop of celeriac remoulade. I had some kimchi as well (which goes by the fetching name of horsetail radish).

 

[tufty79]

I've had a minging pizza thing from subway and an egg mayo and plain crisp sandwich on white

 

[wayward bob]

Loaf!

nice loaf

 

[tar1984]

id tap it (the loaf that is )

 

[mrsfran]

I did tap it

It sounded hollow.

Bacon sarnies for breakfast tomorrow

 

[etnea]

That looks like a fine loaf, Mrs Fran
I've been up since 4.30 with baby-insomnia. I made mango muffins and they're quite yummy. So that's the pudding bit of tea done (it was breakfast too, tbf)
I'm deciding between beef stew with mash and greens or fish pie or eggplant lasagne. Have to go and get stuff for all of those so I think I'll decide when I get to the market based on what looks nice. It's gonna be stormy later so I'm veering towards stew for comfort.

 

[moose]

Oooh, shopping in an HK market sounds so much more exciting that nipping to Sainsburys, which is where i'll be scoring tonight's as-yet-unplanned tea.

Just the 'Giving up being a vegetarian' thread

Yep, you should come for tea, bet we're not that far away.

Mrs R has requested a pork roast for tea so I've got a rolled pork loin from the same butchers in Wiltshire we got the sausages from on the way back from holiday. Doesn't look too hard to get the crackling right, can't remember what it tastes like though.

Haven't found many good butchers round Brixton/Camberwell, and where do you lot buy from? Haven't joined the queues at the organic butchers in east Dulwich yet, but am planning a trip to the farmers market at Oval and Borough Market.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

There's meat at Brixton Farmers Market (Sundays) and Dombeys in the covered market isn't bad at all. Good sausages.

Dombeys sausages are ace

We're having roast chicken, roast potatoes and toast beetroot

Cheers Mrs M, I've seen the Farmers market in Brixton but didn't know about Dombeys. Do they do venison sausages? Mrs R seems to have a thing about them and reckons I'll like them.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Haven't seen venison sausages at Dombeys but I haven't looked. I've bought them in the Farmers Market though.

It is quite good
You know what's really weird though? When I'm back in the UK these days and I go to the supermarket with mum, it feels as exciting and interesting as foreign supermarkets do when I go on holiday.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'd also highly recommend the Colombian butchers in Granville Arcade. They do fantastic chorizo (not the cured sort, basically really big sausages).

 

[Steel Icarus]

I don't know. Off to a nice restaurant - went a couple of years ago, and I had some wonderful sea bass. I'm really excited about it. I will report back tomorrow.

Ah, I've not ventured onto there.

*gets diary out*



I like Walters near Herne Hill station, because it's just down the road from us, and the farmers market. William Rose have a second shop which isn't as busy, round the corner opposite Dulwich hospital.

Cheers Mrs M, I've seen the Farmers market in Brixton but didn't know about Dombeys. Do they do venison sausages? Mrs R seems to have a thing about them and reckons I'll like them.

Vension has a season doesn't it, when you see the sausages around a lot more? (I think)
