What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[moonsi til]

Following a recipe for orzotto pesto with rocket & tomato salad & chargrilled courgettes.

 

[Biddlybee]

I really want chow mein, or a hearty beef stew.

We'll probably have pasta pesto and broccoli though and cake(s).

I know what to cook next week now... big stew for the freezer

 

[Biddlybee]

She can have pasta, I'm having a bowl of chilli

 

[Siouxsie]

I'm strongly drawn towards Sausage, mash, mushy peas and onion gravy....haven't had it for a while and I got some pork and Old Peculiar sausages from Aldi last night.

 

[doodlelogic]

always a jacket potato on a Friday night

choice of feta, beans, tuna mayo, cheese, tomato salad on the side

Wednesday was a chicken and fennel stew with couscous.
Thursday was lentil and bacon soup.
Yesterday was micro burgers for the kids wine, then Mexican corn soup and toast with crab pate for me and Pringles and cream meringues for all of us for afters
Did a bit more cooking this morning but not quite as manic as the last few Saturdays - a pizza dough to cold ferment in the fridge for Weds, some butternut and sage soup for lunches, a chicken/potato/creamed corn soup for tomorrow and my girl made some apple crumble cookies which are well nice
We just had breaded cod fillets in rolls with lettuce, thousand island dressing and plastic cheese slices and tomatoes with s&p and beetroot on the side.
My daughter has blitzed through her homework today and I've done a mountain of paperwork and form filling and filing - so once she's finished shredding all the stuff I've cleared out we're going to watch a film and share a pot of Cadburys Flake ice cream

 

[Rebelda]

Leftover bolognese on penne for her. Instant prawn noodles and wine for me.

I went to the Manchester Vegan Festival (in Salford) today and have eaten a vast amount of food already but also brought home some vegan pies so we're having a macaroni not-cheese pie and a not-meat and gravy pie with mashed potatoes and processed peas.

Manchester Vegan Festival (in Salford)

Why wasn't it called Salford vegan festival?

Had a veg pasta thing from Marks, followed by gin.

 

[RubyToogood]

Roast cauli, broccoli, squash, onion, garlic, potato and veggie sausages.
I would have quite liked a lentil shepherd's pie really but I'd have had to boil the lentils, make the tomato sauce, cook and mash the potatoes - then the whole thing gets cooked again - who can be bothered?!

Just serve the lentil mix next to the mash. Save the second cooking.

Although you have reminded me I love this with sweet potatoe mash and havnt made it for ages!

 

[pogo 10]

Bought some chicken drumsticks with paprika, cumin and chilli from the co op for 3.20. They are delicious , so 2 of them with pepper, courgette, leek and spinach. A nectarine for puddo.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Red lentil bolognese

 

[gentlegreen]

Surprisingly good soup :-

Poured some boiling water over some dried shitake mushrooms and sea veggies and left to soak for a bit.

Chucked 75g of wholemeal couscous in a pan with 300ml of water.
Bunged in the mushrooms and sea veggies
added a can of diet veggie soup and a lump of miso.

Gently brought up to the boil.

I even resisted pouring tahini on it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Mushroom and spinach quiche.

 

[Rebelda]

Dirty rice, roast balsamic beetroot and a beer.

 

[BoatieBird]

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, a tiny bit of roast fennel (which has proved very easy to grow in the allotment ), yorkshire puds, carrot, cauli, tenderstem broccoli & gravy.
A slice of Dulce de leche swiss roll for pudding.

 

[RubyToogood]

Baked spud with cheese and some broccoli. About to have some defrosted raspberries and yoghurt.

[Zorra]

Went to a Dussehra party so mom is then Nepali curry goat made with a goat I saw being killed on Friday. Fresh!

 

[ringo]

Rave recovery chicken pie, mash, buttered cabbage and gravy. Cooked double portions of mash and cabbage for Tuesday night bubble & squeak

Tonight is leftover Indian. We tried Ghurka Cottage after the rave reviews on the Brixton thread - great choice, thanks all. I had to try the much mentioned black dal and it was lovely. Had it with a duck starter and mushroom rice. Everything was good, and at least a tenner cheaper than our previous place

 

[pogo 10]

Feel like a cheese pizza but am going to have a boiled egg on toast instead as had a massive lunch at a toby carvery with ice cream and a gingerbread man. On diet but might just go for a pizza as have decided its spoil pogo 10 day.

It's bank holiday tomorrow and we've had Agent Sparrow and mellifluous lady visiting from London so we've got the day off today. I ordered OH and I a chicken selection box each and a big bottle of coke from domino's and we are eating it in front of Star Trek, under the duvet on the sofa bed with the curtains drawn

On Friday we all had burgers at a place called Quentins and on Saturday they ate pizza and chicken (I wasnt hungry after too much excitement and just had a couple of the left over chicken strips). Yesterday we had BBQ food at the football and then I had a cheese and ham wrap when I got home.
