[LeytonCatLady]

Steak and chips.

Flatmate got a family-sized rhubarb pie from Iceland and shared it with me. A very nice way to round off the evening.

 

[moose]

Sticky chilli tofu (which I could eat forever) on rice and vegetables, sesame seeds, spring onion snippings and all that.
Raspberries and weird vegan brownies.

 

[neonwilderness]

Chicken and chorizo spaghetti (part of the Morrison’s meal deal) with added pecorino and a couple of bits of garlic ciabatta

 

[RubyToogood]

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.

I did this again with wholemeal fusilli and it was still like porridge.

have you tried orzo rubes? makes a damn fine pasta-otto

I can't see the point of pasta that is the same shape as rice. Why not just have rice?

quicker, mostly, but cleaner/smoother too, you notice the sauce more

Recipe?

Take a block of firm tofu and cut into 5mm slices. Coat slices in cornflour, then shallow fry, turning until cornflour forms a crispy shell on all sides. Set aside.

Mix all these together in the frying pan and simmer, stirring frequently, till reduced to a sticky sauce, enough to just coat the tofu:
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp chilli paste
Squeeze of Sriracha
4 tbsp soy sauce

Meanwhile stir fry the veg, boil the rice.

Chuck the crispy tofu in to the sauce and warm through for a couple of mins, turning till coated.

Plate the rice and veg, top with the tofu and any extra sauce. Sprinkle over some toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green bits of spring onions.

 

[Maggot]

[Little Piranha]

We had pork ribeye. I'd never seen it before and bought a 1kg piece. All the recipes I could find had it cut into steaks but we roasted it whole and it was incredible. Really amazing taste and texture. Pretty cheap cut too.

 

[8115]

Baked potato with butter and cottage cheese.

 

[8115]

Roasted red pepper and one of those baguettes you bake in the oven.

Haha. I find it quite confusing too. Fucks with my mind.

 

[sojourner]

I'll be on a truffle pizza, he'll be on a spicy cauliflower vegan one, with garlic bread, olives and salad.

Pinot and malbec first though.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Garlic dough balls. Might do something else later, but I was starving as I hadn't eaten anything all day.

 

[Orang Utan]

Grilled spiced mackerel
Steamed jerseys
Summat green

 

[pogo 10]

1 veg samosa, leeks, pepper and spinach. Got bread and butter puddings with double cream for puddo or might just have a Turkish delight if cba to turn the oven on again.

 

[Badgers]

Unsure

Have some steaks, sausages, burgers and relevant accompanying products available. Then someone gave me some money off vouchers for a local Chinese/Chippy as they are leaving today so can't use them

 

[Epona]

I think probably cottage pie (beef for me, quorn and assorted veg for him)

 

[Numbers]

Not sure tonight but had this y/day evening.

Sourdough, red fox cheese (under peas), tarragon peas, (frozen) fish portion and chip sandwich. Loads of vinegar on each layer.

 

[danny la rouge]

Chips, cheese and curry sauce.
