What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Was gonna do a 3 bean chilli but it's gone really warm now. Might do squeaky cheese with couscous and salad instead.

 

[BoatieBird]

Salmon baked in the oven in spicy coconut milk, rice & steamed tenderstem broccoli

 

[RubyToogood]

Experimental microwave cookery following a Sainsbury's delivery: cous cous with chopped sundried tomatoes, fennel and microwaved veggie sausages, bit of garlic and parmesan. Really very nice. Maybe I should just not bother getting another cooker.

 

[RubyToogood]

Although actually I'm going to have to because having to BUY bread is REALLY painful.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Vietnamese meal with bezzer and OH. I had red curry with duck. Well fit.

 

[Epona]

I made a veggie version of moussaka (tomatoes, peppers, a small handful of lentils for texture, to replace the meat portion - with the usual herbs/spices/seasonings of course). I do a version with potatoes as well as aubergine - takes a fucking age to prepare, but absolutely delicious and well worth the effort of doing it well.

Having folk here for dinner. Prepping now & refery not getting food processor out of the loft as using Ninja Bullett make beetroot falafels is taking ages! & I will prob burn out the bullet!

Having: beetroot falafels, Spanish garlic mushrooms.

Halloumi brushed with harissa, bulghar wheat, with red onion, tomatoes & pomegranate jewels dotted with yoghurt.

Vegan espresso martini chocolate mouse (using the chickpea water, first time making!)

Have a pinapple & basil iced tea in Kilner thing.

G&Ts & cider!

 

[PursuedByBears]

That sounds great!

We have my mum and dad coming to stay for the weekend so I'm going to make minestrone soup for lunch with fresh bread from the hippy bakery. We're having Guinness and mushroom pie with roast potatoes, minted mushy peas and broccoli tonight, then tomorrow we're having a picnic at the kite festival and vegan paella for dinner.

 

[Saffy]

Nigella's Marmite spaghetti. It was simple and delish.
Raspberries, Swedish glace and a little dollop of Biscoff spread.

Followed by a flat double decker (single decker) bar and coffee

 

[Thimble Queen]

Had a lamb shish for lunch. Didnt need anything else tbh

Charcoal & rye sourdough crackers with cheddar and black pepper.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Dunno. I've just had some plain yoghurt with sunflower seeds and dried gojiberries but I'm gonna need something else before bed

 

[BoatieBird]

Roast chicken, roasted cauli, steamed new potatoes (the first lot from the allotment, far too good for roasting), carrots, tenderstem broccoli and gravy.

 

[Saffy]

Roast chicken, roast butternut squash and salad. I've only just put the chicken in though.

 

[Thimble Queen]

We've still got bloody knackensteak left from the bbq last weekend so we're having that with salad.

 

[RubyToogood]

Starter: S&V crisps (bloody Walkers, picked up the green packet thinking they were C&O ).
Main: couscous with summer savoury, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, walnuts and broccoli (only form of pasta that can be made in a microwave).
Pudding: white choco leibnitz and a cup of redbush tea.

 

[moose]

Campari and tonic.
My favourite shop-bought tortellini (Rana Aubergine Parmigiana) with tomato sauce.
Asparagus and slices of sourdough, rubbed with oil and griddled till charred in places.
Fry's Chocolate Cream (dark).

So nice

You need some chippy chips.

 

[Thimble Queen]

You need some chippy chips.

I do. But you can't get them here, which is a source of great sadness and pain in my life. However, I'll be back at home on Thursday and have been promised a slap up chippy tea

Tonight, I had pork steaks and salad. Think I've had too many of them recently tbh

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Are there no chippies in Germany? That's a terrible state of affairs.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Are there no chippies in Germany? That's a terrible state of affairs.

There are no proper chippies... you can get fries, some are quite nice but not proper chippie chips. I heard about a place that' meant to do some kind of German version but it closes at 5pm and isn't open on the weekend It's nonsense tbh.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Pasta carbonara...gone slightly cold.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Decided to try the rhubard & custard ice cream I bought the other day.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Decided to try the rhubard & custard ice cream I bought the other day.

And?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

And?

It's OK, but I'll only be able to confirm whether I like it once I've finished the tub. It's back in the freezer for now.

I'm sure the raspberry sorbet I also bought will be nicer though.

I like the sound of both the ice cream and the sorbet tbh.

Mmm this dessert conversation has reminded me to have a banoffee pie next week

 

[Maggot]

Beanfeast with rice.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Brown rice with chilli oil. Starving today.
