[sheothebudworths]

Saturday my son treated us to a Maccy D's delivery
Yesterday was chipolatas/southern quorn nuggets, homemade oven chips and broccoli cheese and a little bit of B&J Netflix and chilld for pudding.
Katsu curry with rice and chinese leaf today, melon for pudding.

 

[sojourner]

Spaghetti tossed in garlic/chilli/olive oil, with sundried toms and black olives. Fucking STARVING and need something quick.

Dark choc Tunnocks and a decaff tea for afters.

 

[May Kasahara]

Made a big roast dinner yesterday - chicken, spuds, yorkshires, gravy, steamed carrots/broccoli/green beans. Non-home made chocolate puddings for dessert.

Tonight we are having hot dogs, probably with a chip accompaniment.

 

[Elpenor]

Gnocchi with lemon parsley and chive pesto

 

[The39thStep]

Home made chicken and veg soup soup

 

[RubyToogood]

The other half of yesterday's tortelloni with veggie bolognese sauce. I made the sauce from scratch, including chopping the onion, as an experiment to see how that went one-handed. I managed it but I burnt it twice, it took forever and I literally had to go and lie down afterwards.

I foresee a lot of ready meals in my future. From Waitrose because there's no option to have carrier bags with Sainsbury's or Tesco now.

 

[Epona]

My portion of the leftover tuna casserole. I already ate dessert which was a Limoncello mousse type thing from Morrisons - very tart, which I like

 

[moose]

Broccoli, pan choi and 'exotic' mushroom stir fry, chilli noodles, spring rolls. The rest of last night's sticky toffee pudding with a dollop of Swedish Glace.

 

[Zorra]

Spaghetti with tomato sauce and extra garlic mushrooms (both more mushrooms and they were more garlicy). Plum crumble for afters. Couldn't get the bastard stones out when cutting them up so had to do tinker, tailor etc - ended up with poor man. Sign of the times.

 

[Maggot]

Home made falafal and salad wraps.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Halloumi; bean salad; seedy baguette.

 

[BoatieBird]

(lamb) Mince n tatties

 

[sojourner]

Fried halloumi, roast veg couscous, very ripe vine tom salad, watercress/rocket/spinach salad, black olives.

Last of the (very strong!) Rice Krispie space cakes, and some dark choc Aero (the new crack, sheothebudworths ).

 

[sheothebudworths]

Ffs, we don't need MORE crack, soj! I will stick with the ORGINAL crack!

Veg/egg fried rice here, with some bockwurst in mine and my son's.
Melon for pudding.

 

[sojourner]

Ffs, we don't need MORE crack, soj! I will stick with the ORGINAL crack!

OhmyGOD though mate, you have to try it. It is IMPOSSIBLE to only eat a few squares. The whole lot, gone in 60 seconds

 

[Badgers]

Slow oven baked pork loin steaks marinated in maple 'flavoured' syrup, cinnamon, ginger and peppercorns for 24 hours.

Topped with thinly sliced, buttered garlic fresh mushrooms.

Served with sautéed potatoes and rocket salad.

Plus wine

 

[Aladdin]

Chicken curry and rice.
Nutty yoghurt

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheese on toasted seedy bread with black pepper and lettuce. 4 raw carrots for afters.

 

[RubyToogood]

Part 2 of the veggie bolognese, with green pea fusilli (these aren't as nice as the red lentil ones but I need to get through them) and probably another vegetable.

How are you getting on RubyToogood - we really do need our arms ideally, eh!
What are your limitations, so far, in case we can help? x

 

[Epona]

I haven't decided yet, I am feeling uninspired and I know from experience that sometimes when it gets to this time and I am not actively thinking about food or working out what prep needs to be done that I can end up not eating. Hopefully inspiration will strike in the next hour or two but I haven't defrosted anything and everything else that I have that can be cooked is just not inspiring me.

I KNOW those days!
You have to eat, though - toast, or cereal/porridge? Nothing better sometimes.

 

[Elpenor]

Chicken butterflied and marinaded at lunchtime with left over chives and parsley from yesterday, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, squeezed a lemon into the bag I marinated it in.

Done in the oven with some butter. It came out a bit like a spicy chicken Kiev. with rice and peas.

Custard pot and then a beer or two later.

 

[zora]

Tricolore sandwich and a bastardised sangria-style drink (red wine and San Pellegrino aranciata).

I ended up having a cheap and cheerful frozen chicken pie, peas and an obscene amount of steak cut chips because my hand slipped as I was tipping them into the air fryer basket. With vinegar and gravy

 

[moose]

A whole roasted firecracker cauliflower between us, with jasmine rice and stir-fried veg, teriyaki sauce.

Lemon swiss roll.

Still discovering them really. So far, it's not so much that I can't do things at all all as that it's just lots of hassle and quite tiring. I even managed to grind a bit of pepper today. I just need to find healthy things that I can make quickly with one hand basically. Yesterday for lunch I opened a pouch of quinoa and had that with sun-dried tomatoes artichokes peas and some salad veg. That was quite effective.

 

[RubyToogood]

I think the food processor is going to be quite useful as it slices and grates and it has little sticky Feet that stick to the work surface so it doesn't need to be restrained with one hand and fed with the other.
