What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Craving chips, so probably chips, cheese and onion quiche, and salad.

Special brownies for afters, with a decaff tea

 

[Saffy]

Salmon, roasted veg and cous cous.
Last of the chocolate cake for pudding.

I've got a provisional date for moving and so I'm going to try and use things up so I don't have to pack it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Three bags of hula hoops to keep me going, then sticky chilli chicken later.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Yesterday was kimchi, veg and egg fried rice with some king prawns for me and the boy.

My girl has what is probably just a cold/sore throat but with the later addition of a barky cough, so we have a home test on the way and are isolating - OMG, ALREADY BORED.

I had a delivery on Friday but obvs that didn't account for us being stuck in for who knows how long and I miraculously found a single, open Tesco slot for today, with about half an hour to do an additional order, last night - so we're all good for food now but I appear just to have ordered food for a week long picnic plus five billion bags of crisps (essential!) which means we're all quite full now

Was supposed to be veg chilli with rice and avocado and tomato salsa but we may just have bagels with cream cheese and avo/smoked salmon and cream cheese instead

 

[Elpenor]

Some freeze dried potato and bacon thing which was obviously bought at the height of lockdown, topped with cheese and BBQ sauce. Carrots, beetroot and olives from the fridge which needed using up.

 

[Badgers]

Some slightly (couple/few days over use by date) #willidie roast chicken, cooked for a long time in a jalfrezi sauce with onions.

Wine

 

[platinumsage]

Tuna mayo with sun dried tomato pasta and black olives, side dish of cauliflower boiled in turmeric water.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Was going to try a new curry, but ran out of energy for cooking, so did a red lentil dahl. Few chapatis from the freezer.

It's the first one I learnt how to cook, but I still find it dead comforting.

Second half of last night's curry. I think this may be the answer to the single person's curry dilemma. Rather than attempting to order less, or stuffing yourself, order slightly more and make it do for two meals. I should probably do my own rice though...

You can order more variety as well which is nice.

When I get Chinese I like to make sure there is enough for breakfast.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Guess what I'll be having for tea tomorrow.

 

[Numbers]

More roast jerk chicken tonight, with chips covered in grated cloth bound oak smoked cheddar, and mushy peas drowned with vinegar and tarragon. Prob’ bread too.

Apple crumble and ice-cream for afters.

 

[dessiato]

Packet of salad, tuna, pickled carrot, pickled red cabbage, spicy guacamole, boiled egg, hot crusty roll. I couldn't be bothered cooking for just myself, and I had bits that needed using up.

I will cook tomorrow. I've spare ribs that need using up. While Mrs D is away I'm eating whatever needs using so when she gets back everything will be fresh in.

 

[The39thStep]

Calde Verde

 

[moose]

Burgers of sosmix, mushroom and fresh thyme (do not do this, they fall to bits!) in buns with salad, gherkins, spicy ketchup etc etc. Chips.

 

[Zorra]

Crispy hoisin beef and aubergine, noodles, slaw with a bit too much lime juice.

 

[Epona]

Late one tonight! I am roasting a chicken for myself (which will last for a few days of meals) and will fry a tuna steak or a salmon fillet for OH depending upon which he wants. Served with roast potatoes, steamed broccoli, fried mushrooms - and if OH can/remembers to try to pick up a box of Paxo and milk on the way home, maybe either stuffing or yorkshire, or both!

Oh definitely, tbh I don't think it matters how many people you are ordering for, getting enough for 2 nights means you can get an extra dish or a couple of sides and have several different things I often just put all the leftovers into a pan together day 2 and reheat to have with some fresh plain rice or bread (except if I have meat leftovers in which case I'll reheat separately, as OH doesn't eat meat!) Curry is just as lush day 2, if not more so

My downfall is snacking on left overs all evening, then again in the morning, so no matter how much I do, there's never enough to do a second dinner.

Tonight was a spicy aubergine and chickpea stew with bulgur wheat pilaf

 

[Roadkill]

I've gone back to doing cooking challenges with my mum and sister, and having dinner over Zoom to compare the results. This evening's task is something involving fish. I'm planning white fish fillets in coriander and lime vinaigrette, with new potatoes and wilted spinach.

 

[BoatieBird]

Chicken makhani and rice

 

[sheothebudworths]

I don't have enough self control to save takeaway leftovers until the next day - I would just keep forcing it down until it's all gone. Doesn't mean we don't still order too much though.

Having the bean chilli and rice tonight and a pear and apple oaty crumble with ice cream for pudding.

 

[sojourner]

Really lovely sunshine here, so the last of summery type food I think. Grilled halloumi, couscous, iceberg lettuce, vine tomato salad, black olives.

Last of the special brownies and a decaff tea for afters.

Dare I ask what special brownies are?!

 

[Elpenor]

This afternoon I've sweated onion, leek, carrot and mushroom for a few hours, combined with a jar of Bolognese sauce which needs using up, stock and some pancetta. Will heat up later on with a jacket potato.

 

[Saffy]

Chorizo crusted cod, boulangère potatoes with roasted courgettes and tomatoes.

You already know

 

[Roadkill]

This afternoon I've sweated onion, leek, carrot and mushroom for a few hours

That sounds painful.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Pies, beans and chips.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I'm going to try a Punjabi "staff" curry that I meant to do last night. Basically chicken on the bone and plenty of whole spices.

A nice bottle of Belgium beer whilst I'm cooking and a bottle of Kingfisher for the meal.
