What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sheothebudworths]

I defrosted the freezer yesterday* and on a whim decided to take out all of the leftover gigantic tiger prawns. Put the prawns in a tiny bit of yoghurt, lime juice/garlic/ginger/tandoori spice mix, made a stock from the shells/heads, fried the prawns later then stuck the stock in on a high heat until it thickened and added a bit of creamed coconut and we had it with turmeric basmati with sweetcorn/peas/grated carrot....OMFG <3

Leftovers of the rice today with some pulled pork from the freezer pickings mixed in.

I'm back to work tomorrow after the summer holidays, which FLEW by might need some chocolate before bed

*then broke ANOTHER freezer drawer handle when I tried to pull it open again (to display my beautiful defrosted freezer to my friend ) - I always forget this, does anyone else know what I'm on about? You have a freezer overflowing with ice but the drawers pull out fine, defrost it and turn it back on again and within an hour the drawers are glued shut to the newly frost free elements I wouldn't be arsed if it was mine and not the landlords '£££$$$£££$$!!'

 

[sojourner]

I feel your freezer door pain sheothebudworths . I pulled half of one of mine off the other day. Bastard

Anyway, we're having booooze tonight. Since me fella's seizures, we've been Very Good, and not drunk any booze at all for 4 days a week, and then not going completely overboard when we DO drink. We are currently the most healthy I think we've ever been

And then for tea - probably a massive tesco veggie supreme pizza, or perhaps mozzarella cheeseburgers and chips.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Rice and cherry tomatoes.

 

[ringo]

Fancy dinner date night. No children until Saturday lunchtime.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Baked salmon with Irish dilisk, sea salt, lemon and parsley, baby potatoes, avocado and rocket. Maybe baked beans too. Dessert will be Greek yoghurt with raspberries and honey.

 

[purenarcotic]

Eid curry from our mates mum. Her samosa's are immense.[emoji41]

 

[blairsh]

Not had tea the last three nights so reckon tonights the night.

Maybe something involving chicken

 

[fishfinger]

Sausages, mash, and purple sprouting broccoli.

 

[Rebelda]

Massive baked potatoes, cheese on hers, salad cream on mine. Haddock fillets parcel-baked with cherry tomatoes, lemon juice and olive oil. Disappointing corn on the cob (doesn't deserve to be called sweet).

 

[blairsh]

Salad cream!?

 

[purenarcotic]

Salad cream!?

Salad cream on a jacket spud is a wonderful thing. You should try it.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Black bean soup and tortillas.

No. Sorry, just no.

 

[Rebelda]

No. Sorry, just no.

You are so wrong I may never be able to speak to you again

 

[blairsh]

This is what it comes down to?

 

[neonwilderness]

M&S tinned beef madras, rice, beer and this view



Yes to salad cream on a baked potato btw

 

[moonsi til]

Last night was tikka paneer & salad. Cost a bargain £2.50. Had it with pompadoms, raita, spiced onions & mango chutney.

Not sure tonight but will prob eat at pub which is usually veg chilli half rice half chips.

 

[Orang Utan]

Lasagne, using this recipe:
How to cook perfect lasagne
Need to start it soon as it take about 3 and a half hours to cook!

 

[Biddlybee]

No to salad cream on anything!!

Nuggets, mash and broccoli for me, pasta pesto and runner beans for the eldest.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Salad cream is evil stuff. Ruins anything it touches.

Chicken breasts tonight, might have some pears if they're ripe enough or if not coffee ice cream.

 

[BoatieBird]

How was your lasagne Biddlybee, what layering combo did you go with in the end?
I bought some beef & pork mince to make a ragu with tomorrow, with a view to making a lasagne at some point this week.

Tonight it'll be sausage, mash, veg & gravy.

 

[Biddlybee]

I thought I'd updated the lasagne thread can't find it though, I did post somewhere, but no idea where

Anyway, I did, from the top down (cross section)...

Grated cheese
Cheese sauce
Pasta
Ragu

The ragu was cold, made a couple days before, so the white sauce sat on top of it nicely

Dried pasta, I've only ever used that tbh.

The cheese sauce was a bit too cheesy, I'll do bechamel next time

That looks so fit. Want. I didn't manage to eat a lasagne on holiday *cries*. There's still time though I might be able to find airport lasagne.

 

[Biddlybee]

Fingers crossed for airport lasagne.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Fingers crossed for airport lasagne.

I misread that as apricot lasagne. I think you should give that a go and report back.

 

[neonwilderness]

Steak and claret pie, new potatos, broccoli, shriaz

 

[PursuedByBears]

Farfalle pasta, chickpeas, rosemary, chilli, garlic, & basil.

 

[Orang Utan]

lasagne is still in the oven - i started making it at half three ffs!
it's supposed to rest for twenty minutes but dunno if I can get away with making my pop wait that long

 

[blairsh]

I had two rate nice burgers off the bbq, thick as fuck they were.

 

[RubyToogood]

I was at home but couldn't face the thought of cooking myself anything and went out for hipster pizza and gelato.
