What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Aladdin]

Yesterday was steak with mushrooms, onions and airfried chips.

Today was omelette with veg and baby potatoes

 

[RubyToogood]

Had some fellow musicians round to the garden so made pitta bread in the chiminea, with veggie sausages, roast veg and salads.Jam (session) for pudding.

I'll do pitta again, it was really satisfying to watch it puff up and it comes out lovely. Plus, if I make pizza it's nice but I end up spending loads of time in the kitchen not talking to my guests.

Every time people come round they bring more alcohol than they drink. The house is awash with random beers.

I so want to go out to dinner. Some glorious Italian place with napery and huge platters of seafood.

 

[Badgers]

Kofte kebabs with salad and or rice

 

[TopCat]

Instead I’m at home alone as it’s late shift for partner and I can’t face cooking and can’t think of any inspiration delivery food wise.
Help! Suggestions!

 

[TopCat]

Got annoyed at cost of delivery German kebab.
Chucked chips in the oven, beans and an egg as well.

 

[Orang Utan]

Kedgeree (Raj style)

 

[Aladdin]

Baked salmon fillets with lemon butter, baby potatoes and mashed carrots and parsnips.

It was lovely. Easy to cook and everyone liked it

 

[RubyToogood]

Leftovers from last night with some meatlessballs - pitta, tzatziki, chilli sauce, green salad, roast veg, fennel and pomegranate salad.

There's a lot of salad to get through as two people (a couple) were a total no show with no communication.

 

[BoatieBird]

Liked for the leftovers RubyToogood, not the no-shows. How rude

We've just had sausage, sage and onion creamy spaghetti (hello fresh), which was absolutely delicious. Really hit the spot.

Really rude. One of them is notoriously late, but I didn't think he'd fail to turn up at all or that current gf would fail to get them there.

What's even more annoying is that he's horribly charming and one always ends up forgiving him

Until now.

Chippy tea here, strawberries and ice cream after.

 

[May Kasahara]

OMG, the most amazing pizza place has opened up round the corner from our house. Proper wood-fired Italian pizza, with properly garlicky wild garlic dip. So good. Bye bye waistline.

 

[blairsh]

Leftover takeaway curry from last night, chips and a garlic naan.

 

[Elpenor]

Sausage & mash

Codeine for afters (back still sore)

 

[neonwilderness]

Chicken burger in pita with sriracha mayo, salad and potato waffles.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Katsu curry and sticky rice with broccoli - with chicken for me and the boy and a Fry's burger for the girl.

White choc and peach traybake with squirty cream for pudding.


My daughter fell over in the woods on the way back from school. Said she had that fleeting moment of wanting to burst into tears but jumped straight up again and didn't look around to check if anyone had seen

She has a deep gouge in her knee (and a hole in her tracky bottoms!) so had a soak in the bath and then gave her knee a good clean with some diluted TCP.

So, to make up for her trauma, I also made her an after dinner hot chocolate - in the style that my friend's mum used to make when I was little, in their fancy, modern Moulinex - using a handheld blender... more squirty cream on top.

She said it tasted of Katsu (did it in the same pan but literally washed it twice for precisely that reason) and I've just eaten my pudding out of the bowl she obvs used earlier, which stunk of TCP

 

[sojourner]

Tesco pizzas - ham, mushroom and mascarpone for me, margarita for him, garlic-drenched ciabatta slices, salad.

Ben and Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream for afters.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oven-baked asparagus and Parmesan tortilla

 

[fishfinger]

Sausages, carrots, mash and gravy.

 

[blairsh]

Oven-baked asparagus and Parmesan tortilla

Asparagus wrapped in parma ham and baked is good too

 

[sheothebudworths]

Pork, lentil and veg stew - and a veggie version - with crusted dumplings, roast parsnips and savoy cabbage.

Meringues with blueberries and Greek yoghurt for pudding.

 

[Epona]

People who are naturally charming seem to think they can get away with doing whatever they like because they'll always talk their way out of it.

I hope you managed to find a use for all the food, not turning up at all with no notice is super rude.

He still hasn't said anything. Total silence except for posting a random picture in the group chat. I do think flakiness is particularly inconsiderate in the rule of six era because you've taken up a place someone else could have had. There were other people I'd have liked to invite.

I have eaten most of the leftovers now.

I'm a bit behind on the recipe box as a result. Tonight had lentil stuffed roast peppers with almond crumb and salad. I think I'm going to keep the box up for a while. It's like having someone more sensible than me deciding what's for dinner, and that can't be a bad thing. I get one night off a week where I can make pizza or have chips or something. It had a bad patch recently but seems to have recovered.

 

[colacubes]

Korean beef tacos from recipe box. V nice

 

[Aladdin]

Veggie burger
Chunky chips
Rhubarb yoghurt

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Soupd with garlic & coriander naans to dunk.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Burgers (no buns but with chilli cheese on them) with roasted Mediterranean veg from the veg box that came earlier

 

[May Kasahara]

Pork ribs baked in the oven, celeriac slaw, griddled pak choi with garlic, rice, broccoli.

Cream cakes for dessert.

 

[Maggot]

Onion tart with roast asparagus and psb.
