What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Elpenor]

Gammon, which I regretted as it's too salty.

 

[Badgers]

Simple pasta tonight.

Rigatoni boiled in chicken stock. Grilled bacon, garlic, spinach and Paprika. Punch of cheese and rocket atop.

 

[Zorra]

Scandi chicken meatballs, cheesy mash, lingonberry jam, gravy, sprouts and spinach. Fleabag for afters.

 

[Epona]

It all went well, it has been a very long time since I cooked loin chops (am more likely to get the cheaper shoulder chops which are best braised) so was a little nervous that I might bugger them up by overcooking them - but 3 minutes a side with the grill on high worked out absolutely perfect, browned and the fat cooked on the outside, nice and pink in the middle, very tender. Very happy, I wouldn't normally get them on our budget so it was a very nice yellow sticker find!

OH's haddock fillet was really lovely too, bargains for both of us

 

[dessiato]

I might do baked sardines, but, if they're any good, I might just do a big pile of boquerones. I fancy something quick and simple. (If it's not too expensive I could be tempted to do pulpo a gallego) We will see what they've got at the fishmonger.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Pancakes with loads of lemon and sugar.

 

[sojourner]

Toad in the hole. Just before we started it emerged that neither of us have ever made it successfully. We seem to have some sort of block with batter.
Oh well.

How did it go Looby ?

 

[sojourner]

Tsebhi birsen, white basmati, sour cream.

More homemade jam tarts for afters with a decaff tea. Quite chuffed that I managed to make decent shortcrust pastry. I used to be absolute pants with pastry.

 

[Roadkill]

Zoom dinner this evening is something with pasta, so I've made a veggie spaghetti bolognese. I've just tasted the sauce and it's very nice, but I can't ever get very excited about pasta. I'd rather have it with potatoes, if I'm honest.

 

[Orang Utan]

Egg and pea curry

 

[May Kasahara]

Dunno, husband is cooking but hasn't yet got up from his laptop.

 

[Espresso]

Tin of sardines in oil with some salady bits, dolled up with freezer corainder and ginger plus soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil and Siracha.

 

[davesgcr]

Meatballs , spicy bean and tomato sauce, garlic bread (ex M+S) , and proper cheese. Red wine.

Followed by the Pembrokeshire murders - great TV that.

 

[RubyToogood]

Recipe box tom yum soup with carrot noodles. Slurp.

 

[tufty79]

New potatoes
Pesto
Cheese
More cheese
Chicken with cheese

Something interesting with a courgette if I remember.

Okay, I was talking rubbish. That wouldn't have been better with spuds, and I'm sorry to sound smug but the sauce was bloody delicious. One of my more successful bits of busking it.

 

[20Bees]

Liver with bacon, onions and mushrooms, colcannon, carrots. I have a bite-sized meringue shell for later

Try home made potato wedges - usually does the trick !

 

[BigMoaner]

Thought I would cook something fancy as first night on my own since the dropping back the kids.

I heated up some spaghetti hoops, two brown slices of toast, and some grated cheese. I'll have something less fancy tomorrow.

 

[moose]

A root vegetable stew with pearl barley etc. And I made dumplings for the first time! Didn't realise they'd grow so much, but they were lovely.

 

[extra dry]

thanks to my sister, tonight feast will be a few of these

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Chicken nuggets.

 

[colacubes]

Mushroom stroganoff

 

[sojourner]

Tesco veggie Cumberland saussies, fried with onions, with mashed spud, carrots, Savoy cabbage and gravy.

Last of the jam tarts for afters.

 

[Roadkill]

I'm having a 'can't be arsed cooking' evening so a freezer portion of something with rice. What the 'something' will be I don't know and might not until it comes out of the microwave, because I'm not very systematic about labelling boxes and one freezer portion of curry or veggie stew looks much like another, so it's a bit of a lucky dip. I cocked up and ended up with rice and mixed vegetable soup once...

That sounds familiar. I once had a dinner of rice pudding, thinking I had taken out a risotto.
