What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Johnny Doe]

 

[Aladdin]

Boiled new potatoes tossed in butter.
Cauliflower cheese.
Steak.

Yoghurt for dessert

 

[nogojones]

Sweet, sticky Chinese aubergine, black fungus with chili and garlic and beansprouts and noodles

 

[RubyToogood]

Mushroom arancini and cauli cheese from my Waitrose delivery which did NOT come bagged, followed by some of the enormous quantity of fruit I've bought, if any of it is ripe.

 

[RubyToogood]

Why the fuck did I think I could peel lychees one-handed?

 

[moose]

Huge heap of salad leaves, dressed with walnut oil and salt, on a homemade flatbread. Chocolate biscuits.

 

[Epona]

OH had a night off so we went shopping then watched the football in the pub on the way home so didn't get home until quite late (meaning that the lengthy cooking time stuff I had bought will have to wait until another day - planning a spicy tomato sauce for OH to have with meatless butcher veggie balls and spaghetti and I have some beef shin which is going to take hours to cook properly into a ragu, so that wasn't going to work at gone 10pm).

As a quick meal, tuna niçoise would have been nice but we didn't have any potatoes. So we improvised that idea with a Greek theme based on other stuff available and had:

Tuna steak, hard boiled egg, tomato/cucumber/red pepper/red onion/olive/basil salad with a Greek dressing (red wine vinegar/olive oil/mustard/oregano/black pepper/minced garlic), and an orzo salad involving orzo/lemon zest and juice/olive oil/black pepper/cucumber/feta/mint.

Considering when we got in I was strongly leaning towards not bothering to make any food, I think I did pretty well really and it was very tasty.

I also had a glass of retsina (OH doesn't like it, all the more for me)

 

[Badgers]

Last night had spaghetti carbonara which was excellent.

Working late today and pretty tired so likely some quick pasta or something beige.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

A fiery chilli with lots of different beans. Big batch for freezer meals.

 

[Aladdin]

Spaghetti bolognese

 

[sheothebudworths]

Last night was jersey royals with butter and a selection of cheese, with baby plum tomatoes. Celebrations and peanuts for pudding.

Hot dogs for me and the boy today - in part baked baguettes with fried onions, mustard and ketchup. Girl will have egg mayo and avo in hers. More tomatoes for us all and the rest of the melon for pudding.

 

[RubyToogood]

Part two of the arancini with potato salad and asparagus. Fruit for pudding.

 

[Espresso]

Ginger nuts and lemon squash.
Gosh! I sound like one of The Famous Five.

 

[Epona]

I've decided to make a stifado with my beef shin, I seem to be in the mood for Greek food lately. Won't be ready for a while yet. I have a variety of fruit yoghurts and half a chocolate orange for afters.

 

[Epona]

Ginger nuts and lemon squash.
Gosh! I sound like one of The Famous Five.

No lashings of ginger beer?

 

[Espresso]

No lashings of ginger beer?

Sadly not.

But now as you mention it, I might get some tomorrow. To have with lashings of gin.

 

[Orang Utan]

Sea bream baked with potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, chilis, fish stock and a Japanese spice blend called nanami togarashi

My favourite fish

 

[BoatieBird]

Veggie hot dogs in brioche buns with curly fries, and wine.
It's been one of those weeks and it's only Thursday.

 

[moose]

New cheshire spuds from just up the road - delicious.
With salad, c-o-t-c and chipotle bean patties.

Raspberry mini Magnum.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Just me and my girl - frozen pizzas with avo and tomatoes and more garden strawberries with Dairy Milk ice cream.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Raw carrots and wine.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Spicy pork chown mein

 

[Orang Utan]

Supermarket pizza and a bottle of wine

 

[Aladdin]

Veggie lasagne and air fried chips.

 

[Elpenor]

Microwave rice with hot sauce and an apple pie rice pudding pot.

Needed to go food shopping but couldn’t on the way home from work as had 2 bloody laptops in the boot and no parcel shelf in the car so can’t hide them. Got back and felt really tired and lacking in energy.

 

[Zorra]

Cauliflower buffalo 'wings' with blue cheese and yogurt, celery, bit of rice. Very early night for afters (already in bed!)

 

[Elpenor]

Microwave rice with hot sauce and an apple pie rice pudding pot.

I’ve just remembered there’s a Mitford sisters letter where one of them complains about a dinner party where a main meal with rice was served with rice pudding for afters “two rice!!!” Was the disdainful comment.

 

[nogojones]

Scored a load of cheep avocados, so guacamole, spicy hummus, salad and flatbreads
