What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

Salad here too, I'm going to do a potato salad and a Greek salad. Or I might do an orzo/cucumber/lemon/feta salad. I've also got some chicken slices that need using up. I think I have some part baked baguettes too.

 

[Orang Utan]

I think I probably need to buy one then. I’ve made it to nearly 40 without any and my cooking repertoire shows it.

Give it a go - it's very easy once you get going - it's just following instructions

 

[May Kasahara]

Chicken tacos.

 

[BoatieBird]

Warm pasta salad with roasted veg (aubergine, yellow pepper, red onion and baby plum tomatoes), chorizo and feta.

Get Pinterest. You can collect recipes on that.

Last time I looked there, I could only see pictures of food but no recipes

Mrs LR collects recipes on it allegedly. Although she doesn’t cook them it has to be admitted.

It’s a mystery to me, perhaps I’m doing it wrong, but Pinterest is all pics afaik

That’s all I see too. But I haven’t really explored the possibilities.

it's a strange approach to it all - starting with pictures instead of ingredients. The best cookbooks don't have any pics.

Cheese sandwiches.

Such extravagance. I've actually stripped that back, I cut off a generous hunk of cheese and a few nice tears of a baton and have just been eating straight, dry, basic & beautiful.

Btu to be fiar my mupoht is a bti dyr now and cat'n sepak or tpye propre..

I learned how to cook tons of veggie meals from this thread. Don't own any recipe books. If you see something on here that you fancy, just ask for the recipe Elpenor

 

[May Kasahara]

Chicken tacos.

That was a particularly fine taco tea. I made sweetcorn salsa, on a whim, and it really perked things up.

 

[BoatieBird]

This is an excellent resource for recipes Elpenor

Do you have a recipe for the sweetcorn salsa? I'd like to try that next time we have Mexican/Tex Mex style meal!

 

[May Kasahara]

Yeah, it was dead easy

Sweetcorn (I used frozen, defrosted, and it was absolutely fine)
Half a red onion, finely chopped
A handful of cherry tomatoes, chopped
A couple of chillies, deseeded and finely chopped (obviously can adjust according to your personal heat preference)
Some chopped coriander
Juice of one lime
Salt and pepper
A teaspoon of ground cumin seeds (although you could leave these out tbh and it would still be very nice)

Mix all of the above in a bowl, leave it in the fridge for half an hour so that everything can mingle a bit, then scoff.

 

[moonsi til]

Mixed roasted veg, chickpeas, cous cous & almonds. Was very tasty.

 

[Zorra]

Homemade cheese, leek and mushroom quiche, new potatoes, carrot salad. Amazing brown sugar nectarine crumble for after with ice cream - it was a virtue-bake for a load of fruit on the turn and it was lush. All made whilst going 'um um, yes right' on a conference call

 

[pinkmonkey]

Its roasting here and I didnt want to put the electric cooker on (Im at my parents). I cooked pasta and courgettes and then some sauce in the microwave and it was acceptable.

I pushed the boat out and added mushrooms too.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Colcannon mash on toast. Then carb unconsciousness probably...

[gentlegreen]

Back late from hospital, so can of lentil and veggie soup, can of chickpeas, half a jar of Polish green tomato salad ...

 

[Numbers]

Chicken Kiev and Salad.

We can’t be arsed to cook (put on oven / open salad) so are having a takeaway/delivery - will take us longer to decide which and what then order than press a button and open a cpl of packets of tings.

 

[RubyToogood]

Expensive, unhealthy and shit Chinese takeaway.

Anyone got a Gousto code?

 

[Maggot]

Asparagus to start. Mattar Paneer frittata and coronation carrots.

 

[May Kasahara]

Oven food. Breaded chicken for the men, fishfingers for me, boiled eggs and soldiers for the girl all with chips and a selection of vegetable accompaniments.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Steak with potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Curry and wine.
