What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[20Bees]

Smoked haddock and cheddar fish cakes, mashed potato and peas.

 

[Detroit City]

Beef nachos w/jalapeños and some chicken w/rice

 

[Detroit City]

Forgot about the Stilton, sorry

 

[farmerbarleymow]

That is just plain wrong fbm

Don't knock it until you try it. Carbtastic.

You can also have a pie barm of course - and it goes without saying the barm has to be buttered.

 

[sojourner]

Spinach and ricotta tortellini in minestrone soup (leftover cabbage, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, passata, stock, parmesan rind, basil, cannellini beans). Not cooked this for a couple of years, proper looking forward to it!

Either a cinnamon roll or a slice of Victoria spongecake with a decaff tea for afters

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Pulling out the slow cooker for the first time in ages. Going to do a sausage and green lentil thing with some roast squash on the side.

 

[oomfoofoo]

Not sure whether to do a beef lasagna, with the ragu I made a couple of weeks ago, or a chicken, pepper & pesto lasagna. Best decide soon though, so I can get what I need out of the freezer!

A layer of each?

 

[platinumsage]

Diced lamb with tofu, not sure how to cook it yet.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Bread.

 

[fishfinger]

Sausages, mash, broccoli and gravy.

 

[miss direct]

I made the nigella lawson fish finger recipe. Easy, cheap and yummy..

Fish Finger Bhorta

If you’d asked me any time up until recently whether I’d ever thought I’d bring out a book with a fish finger recipe it, I’d have been fairly certain the answer would be no. Thank goodness we live and learn. Not that I have anything against fish fingers — a fish finger sandwich is right up there...

Beef lasagne all the way

I know it's not the thread for posting random tweets but I concur so much with this

 

[Epona]

Yeah - I love cooking but what with being on an even tighter budget than usual and the utter tedium of each long drawn out day sat on my ever-growing arse in front of the computer some days it just seems like too much effort to think about.

What is good about this thread is that it can provide some inspiration when I am feeling a bit "meh" about food

 

[Espresso]

Somewhat contrarily, I was very industrious today - well, I have naff all else to do - and made a big pan of pasta sauce this afternoon. Some for today and tomorrow and the rest to be frozen in portions. I bet there is ten dinnersworth in it. Excellent.

Herby Polish sausage, butter beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic, oregano and basil.

So that with pasta and a lot of cheese.

I feel the opposite way. It’s never anything but a joy for me. But I do plan ahead. Couldn’t decide what to eat on a daily basis - that would stress me out and I’d end up getting a sad ready meal. Every Wednesday night the files are consulted, the internet is scoured, seven days evening meals are thrashed out and a shopping list is generated. Love every stage of it. It’s sometimes the only thing that will save my mental health that day.

 

[Hearse Pileup]

Tomatillo and Avocado salsa w/Old El Paso kit enchiladas. They may not be crazy authentic but they're tasty!

I do enjoy that approach but any planning is usually undone by the Morrison's reduced to clear shelf

What do nuclear scientists have for tea?

Radioactive lamb

Tonight we'll be having the mushroom pasta that I didn't do last night - it sounds dull but it is one of my favourites - lots of mushrooms, garlic, cream, wine, parmesan, black pepper - love it

 

[sojourner]

The only time I feel like that tweet is when I'm depressed. It's one of the big signs for me. I love cooking and eating good food most of the time, and planning it too.

Aye, if I’m having an orange tea, send love and best wishes

 

[RubyToogood]

I had a jacket spud with cottage cheese and broccoli.

Clementine for afters.

 

[The39thStep]

Chicken stew fresh crusty bread and butter

Exactly, it's a sign that I'm quite low, psychologically speaking. Like - last night I just got pissed and listened to music and couldn't be arsed to either cook or eat, it's not a good sign for anyone that, is it

 

[Numbers]

We have chicken breasts baking so for me it’s a baked chicken breast, cheese and pineapple sandwich with rice and pea (farmerbarleymow) side.

 

[Maggot]

Veggie cottage pie with broccoli on the side.

 

[Epona]

OH arrived home with a massive (and delicious!) jackfruit and bean burrito, lovely flavours and nice and spicy - so we shared that. Will do mushroom pasta in a couple of hours
