What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Biddlybee]

I have salad, and focaccia

Could I layer it up today, to cook tomorrow?

 

[moose]

So, what's a good side to have with parmiggiana?


Broccoli?

Yes. Broccoli is a great side with everything. Except cocktails or cake.

[Thimble Queen]

I really like roasted broccoli with olive oil, salt and cumin powder. After all broccoli talk I want some.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Playing catch up...

Tues - lentil/pork swede/potato cottage pie type thing with peas
Wed - lasagne, chips and peas
Thurs - pea and ham soup plus rolls for the kids
Fri - pizza and wine and Doritos

Just made a chicken and green bean coconut curry and put some cauliflower in a spice mix ready to roast - we'll have that later with garlic and coriander naan.
My workmate made me a huge Irish apple cake to say thank you for some info I found out for her (which would have been much harder for her to find because she's Japanese so Googling for complicated info is a bit tricky - but which was a piece of piss for me to find, so this was way beyond a fair exchange but she's just considerate and lovely unlike most of my other colleagues ) so I'll warm some of that up to have with either custard or squirty cream for pudding

Also made a southern Italian chicken, fennel, olive, tomato and lemon stew for later in the week and some spicy butternut soup for lunches.

 

[Orang Utan]

Rack of lamb
Steamed spuds
Courgettes and tomatoes

I lied - it's lamb shanks braised with swede and preserved lemon, not rack of lamb

 

[Biddlybee]

I will so be like you once my kids are a bit older sheo (and once I've made space in the freezer!).

We've got chipolatas, chips and beans here, the chocolatiest chocolate cake for pud

 

[sheothebudworths]

Yep, defo much easier being organised and productive when they've hit the *snoring in bed until noon* stage rather than the *constant boob demanding* and/or the *jumping on your head at 6am demanding to be entertained NOW* ones

 

[Thimble Queen]

We are having a bbq with our neighbours

 

[PursuedByBears]

Pumpkin stew with ginger, tomatoes and pasta shells.

 

[Voley]

Chilli salt squid, chicken in black bean sauce with green peppers and chilli salt chips.

[Thimble Queen]

We are having a bbq with our neighbours

I didn't like the sausages we bought so I had some olives and a cheese roll instead. Oh and some macadamia nut yoghurt

 

[Rebelda]

Noodle soup, with veg, edamame and homemade chicken stock. I'm not sure how much it soothed my upset stomach, considering all the sriracha, soy and lime I put in

 

[Callie]

USDA beef brisket

 

[BoatieBird]

I've just googled that Callie, sounds delicious. How was it?

Tonight we've got slow cooker potato 'bake' again.
I made one last week and it was one of the best things I've ever made in the slow cooker.
Just layers of sliced raw potato interspersed with sliced onions softened a bit in butter and oil, cheese & black pepper.
Added a few tablespoons of milk for moisture.
Last week I added bacon to the onions, this week I've left it out because we're having it with roasted pork fillet.

 

[purenarcotic]

Slightly odd tea of pita stuffed with lettuce and little lamb kebab things and the Caesar dressing that came with the lettuce. We

Tonight we've got slow cooker potato 'bake' again.

It was proper yummy, we had it with smoked and battered chicken wings...which were amazing and a catfish sandwich!

All from a newly opened restaurant. The meat is all smoked on site. I think they were struggling a bit with service, they've only been open a couple of weeks though. Portions weren't huge and were a bit pricey for what you got but the food was well tasty.

Slow cooker potato bake sounds perfect winter food!

 

[Thimble Queen]

OH made a really delicious bolognaise with beef mince and pancetta

 

[Pickman's model]

Some sort of beanie stew it seems

 

[Pickman's model]

Yes. Broccoli is a great side with everything. Except cocktails or cake.

And trifle

 

[RubyToogood]

Chana dal and pilau rice with peas. I got a bit lost with whether I was making the dal coconuty or garlicky so it's both

E2A and Ambala mango chutney.

 

[May Kasahara]

This roast pork: Fast-Roast Pork with Rosemary and Caramelised Apples with small crunchy roast potatoes, braised red cabbage and green beans. Well nice.

 

[neonwilderness]

Baked cod, roast vegetables and a baked potato

 

[sheothebudworths]

And trifle

Yes but that is literally it.



We had a hunk of last week's pork, cubed and given a coating of soy sauce then crisped up in the oven, courgette and potato cakes and broccoli.
Cream doughnuts for pudding (cos I didn't eat them on Friday )

 

[DotCommunist]

I had a steak and kidney pie, just on its own. This proved to be Not Enough so I made a small fry of egg, waffle and the last of the mushrooms. First egg yolk broke and I hesitated on allowing it because waste is sin but then I thought, no. Fuck this. I deserve a a good egg. Cleaned out the fucked egg and cracked a new one in. Only a double yolker. Thats twice in my life now. Perfectly even they were.

 

[Thimble Queen]

I'm in on my own tonight so not sure. I've got a programme to binge so nothing that takes too long. I might even go buy picnic things so I can eat in bed with the tablet
