What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[farmerbarleymow]

Chilli crab linguine. Gin for afters.

 

[pogo 10]

Ham and cheese tortellini with onion, garlic, leek, broccoli picked from the garden, spinach, mushrooms and rosemary also picked from the garden.

 

[RubyToogood]

Had actual pasta with courgettes, garlic and lite cream cheese, at actual home.

This again, with more parmesan, after a couple of nights of mapathon pizza and random "not really hungry cos ate too much earlier" crap.

What's up with your arm ringo?

I hurt my neck/shoulder in the gym a few months ago and then kept doing it so it got worse until I've ended up with a trapped nerve and some sort of muscle/joint injury. Very painful with pins and needles, but fortunately getting some good help from felixthecat via nobbing & sobbing to sort it out before my holiday starts at 4pm today so that I can enjoy a much needed break.

Four weeks off in one go, because I had so much bereavement leave I didn't have the time/inclination to take any holiday this year. Celebrating with a massive curry tonight

 

[BoatieBird]

Four weeks?!
Enjoy! (and I hope the shoulder is sorted soon)

Tonight we've having spicy sausages from the local butcher with roasted new potatoes and whatever green veg needs using up.

I have end of term-itis, along with the traditional pre-summer holiday kicking offs we always have when it's literally got too hot in the kitchen so we've been on shit dinners for the last couple of weeks
Only Monday and Tuesday to go now though (although I'm officially starting my new weekly volunteering job on Thursday, which is slightly nerve-wracking ) and I swapped my day off this week to today, so I have a nice long weekend first - so I'm already starting to feel a little bit less knackered and reckon I might actually manage to cook some proper stuff again
Today is the usual Friday business though - nice rolls, crab pate, ham, mashed avocado, mini pork pies, duck sushi and crisps - and I've just made a massive bowl of kachumber, too to use some of the THREE bunches of spring onions my Tesco delivery contained (partially down to my own fuck up and partially down to a weird sub they made).

My daughter has two inset days on Mon/Tues so has officially finished for the year (and my son broke up from college a week ago ) so I bought this for pudding to celebrate...

It looks fucking gross to me, tbf but I knew SHE'D love it...and indeed, when I showed her the pot, she looked at me very earnestly and said 'Omg, I love you SO much.'

And I'll still TRY it, obvs

Having cubed sweet potato roasted with cherry toms, feta cheese, red onion, spring onion & black beans plus a dressing that I can't recall. Made this just once before and recall it being lush.

That sounds lovely. Does it all get roasted at once or thrown in at stages?

 

[Siouxsie]

Home made beef,carrot and sweet potato curry, naan bread, and I'm going to have a bash at onion and mushroom bhajis, never made them from scratch before, so fingers crossed!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

BBQ chicken wings in a gin sauce (in my stomach at any rate).

 

[Voley]

Ribeye steak and potatoes with chorizo and peppers. Totally stuffed now.

 

[Rebelda]

Chilli.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

It was takeaway night at work. Kid wanted to go to a place he'd found in Stoke. I followed his lead and went for the value box. This horror show cost me £5.20.



Underneath all that as well as the kebab meat is two large bits of fried chicken. I feel a bit dirty now.

 

[Biddlybee]

Mackerel pesto spaghetti, broccoli for me, lettuce for the girl. Flapjacks and apple for pud.

 

[neonwilderness]

Last night was out with work - salmon Kali mirch followed by chicken tikka Bhuna, pilau rice and keema naan

Tonight is sausage, mash and roast veg

 

[sheothebudworths]

I was going to do a bbq - jerk chicken and veggie kebabs - and some garlic flatbread and salad to go with it, but it's going to rain later and the chicken is the same chicken that I only put in the freezer two days after I'd bought it and marinaded it after I had to cancel the LAST bbq so I think I best not risk leaving it until tomorrow now that it's defrosted.
So I'll prob not bother with the veggie kebabs and do the chicken in the oven instead...meh.

One of these days I may actually manage to have a fucking bbq

 

[pogo 10]

Went to local cafe with pal and had garlic sausage paninis, salad, chips and a cappuccino. Then we went to another cafe and had hot chocolate with cream. Then on to the co op where i bought 4 mars bars and 4 cupcakes. Perfect for this crappy weather.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Pizza, garlic bread, chicken wings. Wine.

 

[neonwilderness]

Lidl pepperoni pizza jazzed up wth some chillis and garlic oil

Beer

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Multipart tea today. Sticky bbq chicken drumsticks, gin, bag of crisps, some multiseed bread and a pack of ryvita thins.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Salad.
Literally....nothing else.
500 calorie day.

Roll on food tomorrow...

 

[PursuedByBears]

Hello thread, for some reason I've always scrolled past this in the new posts list, strange because I love reading about food. I've just read the last five pages and have had to have some toast as I'm now starving!

Tonight the children had pasta and pesto and separate bowls of red pepper, sweet corn and chickpeas because they won't eat them if they're touching.

We had romanesco ripassi, which is romanesco broccoli/cauliflower parboiled then fried/stewed with garlic and chilli and served with penne cooked in the broccoli water, and weird vegan pasta cheese (nutritional yeast).

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Last of the BBQ chicken wings (part of three packs for £7 deal). A pack of wholegrain rice with cherry tomatoes and chilli oil.

Got a couple of eggs that need using today so will boil them so they're ready for breakfast tomorrow.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Either a chicken and bacon pizza and salad or a spring onion and cheddar omelette and salad. Melon for pudding.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Salted caramel ice cream for afters.

 

[pogo 10]

A small mars bar so far. Think a tin of veg soup with 2 slices of seeded bread. Got a bottle of cream soda which im currently necking.

 

[Voley]

Chicken chilli. Loads of cumin, loads of garlic and three types of chilli in this one. Smells pretty amazing so far. Mexican rice to go with it.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Veggie bolognaise with veggie mince, LOADSA mushrooms (in a Harry Enfield voice) and some courgette that needed using up with big pasta. Can't decide whether to have cheddar or parmesan on top. Maybe both

 

[bemused]

I've just roasting some lamb on my big green egg bbq for two hours. Should be nice.

 

[sheothebudworths]

We're going for the omelette - with a few chilli flakes, too - the salad and some buttered toast.
