What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[RubyToogood]

Me and some friends did the eat out thing tonight. Steak at one place then we went somewhere else for pudding. I had a ridiculously sweet waffle thing and feel disgusting and bloated and I have to go to bed but don’t want to lay down.

Boris would be so proud.

I made these and they were way too soggy. I kept having to add more flour. I can't really recommend them.

If I was doing them again I think I'd just make courgette pakoras basically with gram flour.

Yeah, I normally go gram flour. and i don't think I wring my courgettes out enough.

 

[sojourner]

Mozzarella burgers on brioche buns with dirty cheese slices, chips, salad, own bodyweight in garlic mayo.

Blackberry and apple crumble with single cream for afters.

 

[Saffy]

Salmon, spicy couscous and roasted garlic vegetables.
Peanut butter cookie and a cup of tea for pudding.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Mince with spuds, broc and carrots. I always cook the mince in tomato puree for extra tastiness.

 

[Looby]

Bolognese from the freezer tonight with shells or tagliatelle. The crappy weather is making me crave comforting stodge.

Cous cous - remains of a big batch I've just made for dinner, so that'll do for tea later.

 

[platinumsage]

Fish finger perhaps, or egg fried rice.

 

[Orang Utan]

parpadelle and garlicy mushrooms

 

[Pickman's model]

chili garlicky spinach and pasta

don't make a habit of it Can you reheat couscous? | woman&home

Fish finger perhaps, or egg fried rice.

Just the one ?

I made up a pasta risottata thing with grated courgette, butter, garlic, basil, parmesan and sour cream. Nice but a bit like eating porridge. Should have used fusilli or something larger than thin spaghetti anyway.

 

[Aladdin]

Sweet and sour chicken

 

[neonwilderness]

Keilbasa hot dogs with sauerkraut and mustard. Maybe a couple of ciders too.

 

[sojourner]

Saffron braised toms and potatoes, with a massive extra mature cheddar and red onion homelette, and salad.

Either whole nut choc or fig/date/grain yoghurt for afters.

I just ate it cold from the fridge. It goes in the fridge within about half an hour as it cools very quickly anyway.

I am currently slow cooking a chicken, so it will be chickenesque things for tea for the next few days. Probably pasta and rice will feature most days, but for tonight it's spuds and carrots and stuffing and gravy. There will also be soup for dinners for the rest of the week.
All hail the stretchiness of a chicken.

 

[Badgers]

Not sure yet. I got some free mash potato yesterday so maybe some corned beef with mash and such?

I've been tempted to slow cook a whole chicken but the thought it coming out looking raw puts me off. Do you brown it first or afterwards, or just close your eyes and strip off the peely-wally skin to get to the meat?

I don't brown it first because as you say the skin goes to wibble in the slow cooker and it's only good for chucking out. Or feeding to a cat or dog, if you've got one.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Tin of tomatoes, tin of sweetcorn, chilli/basil, couple of ounces of linseed and olive oil.

Turned out nice

Making the most of the eat out thing

Salt and pepper tofu
Stir fried fine string beans
Salmon sashimi

 

[moose]

Pasta with yellow courgettes, yellow peppers, aubergine and lemon sauce, topped with toasted pine kernels.
Apple crumble with next-door-but-one's apples.

 

[Aladdin]

It's my mam's birthday.
We just had a sort of afternoon tea at home. Egg and onion sandwiches, ham sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, finishing off with a fruit pavlova.
Stuffed now.

But I might just have a mini cornetto later.

 

[RubyToogood]

It suddenly dawned on me on the way home from swimming that it was the last chance to eat out to help Boris out apart from Monday so I had a pub garden pie with extremely dense mash and alleged broccoli. Now feel like I have swallowed a brick. Glad I had a large salad for lunch.

 

[sojourner]

Himself is out doing tea time care jobs so I'll be having a massive baked spud with tuna and mayo to myself. Some salad too.

Might sneak what's left of the Ben and Jerry's choc fudge brownie while he's out. He won't remember it's in the freezer

 

[May Kasahara]

Baked potatoes here too, with chicken nuggets and some sort of veg content.
