What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Looby]

I’ve lived on snacks and crap from service stations the past couple of days so wanted something comforting and home cooked tonight. We had meatballs with Patatas Bravas and stuffed peppers. It was bloody lovely. Slightly annoyed that we were beaten to every scrap of fresh bread in Waitrose and co-op so there was nothing to dip with. Fucking football and fucking barbecues. [emoji35]

2 bowls of celery soup, which included 1 head of celery, 1 red onion, red lentils, bay leaf, stock cube and Tabasco sauce.

Also scraps from fridge including bit of baba ganoush, 1 cold leftover felafel, 2 slices rye bread.

Some soup left over, too.

Off out to do a gig tonight in Manc, so a very quick tea of pizza, garlic bread and salad

 

[Fedayn]

Something light likely a piece of cod and some veg.... Or night be lazy and do sausage, egg and chips, bread and butter and a pot of tea.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Salads and some olive bread I got yesterday.
Ice cream for dessert.

When do you get your new cooker RubyToogood?

Last night was Bolognese sauce with brown rice 'fusilli'. A few strawbs from the garden for pud.

I am never going to be able to have a cooker again. It's just impossible.

Not even a small one?

Yes.

It was indeed farmerbarleymow - the 3 Minute Theatre in Afflecks. Fuck ME it was hot in there! They've got those big ceiling fans which only ever seem to drive the heat back down. I was lathered in sweat on that stage

Let me know when you're next on in Manchester, and I'll try and pop down.

Why not RubyToogood ?

We're on a snacky tea tonight. Crusty boule loaf, boursin, baby plum toms, mozzarella and pesto arancini, leaf salad, potato salad.

Strawberries and double cream for afters

The whole thing has become impossible. Every cooker I've looked at is unsuitable to be installed in my perfectly normal kitchen. You have to look at every single fucking one individually to discover this.

I'm now trying to get the old one, which is not faulty, plumbed back in. But everyone is on holiday and I now suspect they'll all suck through their teeth and refuse to do it anyway.

Plus I am fucking ill and injured and I can't face the whole thing.

 

[RubyToogood]

And also, I suspect because the guy who cut me off left the meter cupboard open invitingly to let the gas dissipate, and I couldn't get down the steps to close it, a street drinker spent the night there and has shat right in the doorway. How can I ask a plumber to deal with that?

 

[sojourner]

Oh that is shit alright

I know what you mean about them all being different though. Had the same problems when trying to buy a fucking mattress. Ended up having to buy a whole new fucking bedframe (tedious saga).

You can only ask them eh?

As for the shit - grit your teeth, bucket of water, sluice as much as possible away. Nasty but there's only one way it's gonna get done innit love?

I'm your way on Thursday afternoon. Do you want me to pop by and clean it up for you? Genuine offer - at least then you can get a plumber out without feeling guilty x

Aw, that's really kind of you. I should be able to get it sorted out before then though, I did make it down the steps to at least shut the door today. It was a hideous cloud of bluebottles. My one consolation is that hopefully that'll stop the guy sleeping there again tonight, because he was rattling around last night and it made me too nervous to go to bed.

Ok but if you don't drop me a message. I'm up your way late afternoon x

At one point I was seriously thinking I was going to have to rip the kitchen out and start again. I may well as a minimum have to have the wall tiled. And all for one poxy leaking bayonet joint which isn't even part of the cooker at all.

That's a really lovely offer. Urban at its best.
