What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Voley]

I'm roasting a shoulder of pork this afternoon. I did have a recipe for a spicy rub for it that I was hoping to use but the site's down now. It had garlic cumin and pepper in it, I think, so I might just go with that. That and salt. New potatoes and all the veg with it.

This week's looking good:
sour chickpeas (khaate cholle) & haake (some sort of cabbagey thing) tonight
pot roast guinea fowl on tuesday
spaghetti with crab, cherry tomatoes and basil on wednesday
baked courgettes stuffed with spiced lamb mince and tomato sauce on thursday
Yum yum

I am SO doing this.

Good gel! I can always count on you, wtfs!!!
You have to get the RIGHT crabstix, wtfs!* Not the cheap shite chalky, powdery textured, kind of solid, dry ones....yeuch - but ideally the nice errrrr.....*squeaky* ummmm *wet* ones that pull apart in, like, *strings* (when they're not frozen obv - when they're frozen you suck em and the strings start to reappear). Try the fishmonger ones I reckon - else the Youngs ones aren't that bad.










*It's like the processed cheese experiment all over again....

Seeing as I'm out Tues, Weds and Thurs at gigs, I think my "tea" will be snacktastic - though if I get up to Dalston early enough, there's that nice Vietnamese place near Dalston Kingsland station

Am out tonight for either pizza or curry, depending on what we decide upon.

You getting into the old menu plans now then, eh? Eh? EH?!


We finally had our Maccy D's for an early lunch (no brekky!) today and my son's off to his mate's for the night tonight, so leftovers for me - cauli cheese, with some chicken in there somehow (might just shove some bits into the cauli cheese before I reheat it ) and then a big load of broccoli cos I need some GREENS....and noodles, chicken and broc for the small girl.
I've got a delivery coming today so we've got cream doughnuts - and CRISPS GALORE - for watching Kick-Ass later, snuggled up on the sofa.

You can get a bit too into this planning business you know.

 

[mrsfran]

Steak and chips tonight, with garlic butter.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's not my plan. It's my dad's. He needs to be pretty organised. He can't just pop to the shops as and when he needs to, so a weekly plan is necessary.

NO WAY!!! MORE TIME SPENT THINKING ABOUT FOOD!!!

I was just talking to my son on the bus actually about something he read on one of the rubbish trucks - about how over a third of all the household rubbish they collect is food, most of which could have been eaten - and my boy said 'NOT US, MUM!' and then I told him I'd chucked out a small piece of pork yesterday cos it'd been in the fridge too long - and felt really fucked off with myself - but that that's literally the only thing I've probably *wasted* in weeks, pretty much!

That's SOLELY down to MOSTLY following a menu plan - in my case anyway - other people could probably manage to avoid wasting stuff without doing it - but I'm generally doing up to three meals a day for three of us but then it varies a lot because for eg my daughter has packed lunches but my son doesn't and also, there are days when it's only one of them and other days when it's just me, so it's helpful to know what I'll need to get in and just avoids buying more stuff than I can use too.

BACK OFFFFFF YOU FAAAACCCCKKKIIINNN WRONG UN CAAAAAAHHHHNNNNNTTTTT!!!!!!

*headbut*

You could have eaten that pork as a snack

 

[ringo]

Pork chops with spiced Bramley apple sauce, new potatoes with chives and butter and sweet glazed carrots with ginger. Chocolate pudding with chocolate sauce.

 

[Voley]

You'll end up like OU, sheo. You mark my words.

 

[Orang Utan]

and yup, my parents don't waste any food. My dad even has a list of everything in the freezer stuck to the door, so he can keep track of what needs to be used. He gets disconcerted if I buy anything that needs to be kept in the fridge cos the space needs to be accounted for

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, OK!!!

I think this experiment might go better as I'm not using up whatever was in the fridge. (((cheese slices)))

That's actually not a bad idea.

 

[wtfftw]

zomg. I was all prepared to edit out some smileys there. You ok sheo?

 

[wtfftw]

Forgot to say. ROAST LAMB.

 

[Badgers]

Wifey is making Glazed gammon with parsley & cider sauce which so far looks excellent

 

[Looby]

Lamb shanks, roast spuds, green beans, broccoli and pre-chopped roasted carrots, oh the shame : o

Can't wait. : )

 

[Mrs Magpie]

A big pot of chilli con carne & rice. Nice and easy automatic pilot food.

 

[Orang Utan]

Leftover bolognese sauce, on/with something. Jacket potatoes maybe. Or a big pile of chips. Or rice. Some sort of carb, basically.
