What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Looby]

Tonight we’ve got some garlic chicken thing from Sainsburys, new potatoes, roasted veg and corn on the cob.

 

[Aladdin]

Baked salmon darnes, new potatoes and cauliflower cheese.
Yoghurt for dessert.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I’ve been craving a curry since.

I had a craving for cream cakes so I had to pop into Marks on the way home to stock up.

no shortages I hope

The cream cake shelves were a bit sparse, but it was about 5pm when I was there so that's understandable. Got two apple turnovers which I had earlier, and a bramley sponge.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Pate, coleslaw, salad, ryvita.

Pate, coleslaw, salad, ryvita.

What type of ryvita? I've got a few types in at the moment - ordinary dark rye, black pepper and some sweet onion ones.

 

[RubyToogood]

Waitrose frozen keralan butternut squash curry and a home made pitta. Hot crossless bun. I'm stress baking one-handed, I think on the grounds that if I have plenty of baked goods I can survive post op.

 

[Biddlybee]

I can almost promise you it'll be a chinese!
Are you in, Bee? X

Nah, I wouldn't know how to decide.

I always buy Dark Rye. I like them.

My mum, who was nearly always on a diet, used to get the 1970s plain style Ryvita, which might as well be cardboard, and I won't pay an extra 50p for a pack with an added teaspoonful of onion seeds / sesame seeds/ black pepper.

I understand your wanting to keep your options open on the crispbread front, and, as you often never say, variety is the spice of life, but I'm not prepared to sell out on this one.

 

[fishfinger]

Minced lamb, mash and carrots.

They were on offer on Ocado, so about 60p a pack. I've also got some Swedish rye crispbreads in so I'm well stocked up on that front at the moment. They're nice to eat by themselves, but I also dunk them in soup or put mashed pilchards on them.

 

[May Kasahara]

Last night I made creamy bacon and spinach spaghetti, which was delicious AND had the virtuous side effect of using up lots of odds and ends.

Tonight, no idea but Mr K is cooking so I don't have to think about it.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Nah, I wouldn't know how to decide.

Do you mean what SORT of takeaway, or what dishes? Sure you could get some good recommendations from local Tea thread posters and/or we can help you choose!
I mean it's not like we don't all LOVE talking/thinking about food
Biddly Bee and the little Bees SHALL go to the Tea thread takeaway party!

 

[sheothebudworths]

Roast chicken thighs/a crispy quorn fillet, potato croquettes and salad for us. Melon and Malteasers buttons for pudding.

 

[Orang Utan]

macarooni cheese

 

[sojourner]

Feta and spring onion frittata, with buttery crushed Jersey Royals, and shredded iceberg dressed with a red wine and dijon mustard mixture.

Coffee and walnut cake and a decaff tea for afters.

 

[Orang Utan]

macarooni cheese

macaroni, macaroons would be weird

 

[Biddlybee]

Do you mean what SORT of takeaway, or what dishes?

Both really, only get a handful over the year and 3/5 make me wish I'd not bothered. Can't justify it either, maybe we'll have a treaty tea if I remember

 

[gentlegreen]

head of broccoli, can of chickpeas, can of diet lentil and veggie, tahini, half a jar of green tomato salad.
banana and cocoa.

 

[komodo]

nachos - tin of Black beans stewed in tomatoes/onions, chilli sauce and garam masala on cheapo Sainsbos corn chips. Baked in the oven for a bit with cheese. Supermarket Strawberries for afters - as we’ve been having every night for a while - as they’re so good right now.

 

[davesgcr]

We / I try and do something "national" themed for the football.

So tonight (being as the others were working , I knocked up a Spanish theme meal from scratch - manchego cheese and Spanish home made patatas bravas spiced up with chorizo , garlic bread and fresh french stick. Rioja.

Went down a storm I have to admit.

Any ideas for Denmark bar bacon ?

 

[Zorra]

Any ideas for Denmark bar bacon ?

We live in Denmark

You often get a Scandi tapas - smoked salmon, brings in various formats, Scandi strong cheese, hard boiled eggs, radishes/cucumbers, cream cheese, yogurt with dill and rye bread. Then you must beautifully organise the toppings on the bread. Serve with schnapps and many beers. Lækker!

Alternatively, order a take-away but pay them £80

Thank you - never been to Denmark , but "open sandwiches" was something a work mate who was there for a few months work raved about for a while ! - great ideas - any meat preferences / reccomendations please.

I like the many beers options , - but my 2 young adults at home are not great drinkers (thank the Lord !)

 

[RubyToogood]

First of the frozen "healthy" vegan ready meals I've subscribed to - mushroom risotto. Pretty nice. Kale on the side. Flat peach and a slice of Greek honey cake for pudding. Last food for a while.

 

[Aladdin]

Lasagne and garlic bread

 

[sojourner]

Can't decide between veggie meatballs and LG bolog sauce, pimped with toms and herbs, with fusilli, orrrr pasta arrabiatta, with leftover feta in.

I think I'm leaning towards the meatballs.

Rest of the coffee and walnut cake with a decaff tea for afters.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Baked potatoes with goats cheese log for me and the boy and cheddar for the girl and salad.
Orange clubs and melon for pudding.

RubyToogood - does that mean the op is imminent (assume it's that and not that you're just giving up food!)? Hope it all goes well! X

Biddlybee - I will do my best to remind you re treat food!

 

[davesgcr]

We decided in the end for minced beef pie (home made) , green beans and home made Yorkshire puddings for tonight . Sorry Denmark , though Mrs GCR offered to get some Danish Pastries in.

Last night's Patatas Bravas , even if I say it myself , was outstanding - I had eyed the leftovers up for lunch but no 1 son took it to work , with what was left of the garlic bread.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Bottle of red wine - so I can sleep through all the shouting and carrying on tonight due to the football. Last time I ended up being awake almost all night - twats.
