What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Maggot]

Broad bean and mushroom risotto. Don't have any white wine, thinking of adding some cider instead. Will that work?

 

[pogo 10]

Co op veg pizza and icecream popcorn cones, delish.

 

[RubyToogood]

Mock cheesy broccoli gnocchi with some actual cheese, more or less tolerable, two revolting vegan sausages, what must surely be the last of the purple sprouting broccoli from the garden. I have to stop the allplants frozen meals, I think they are actually turning me off the idea of veganism completely.

( in their defence, the sausages were my addition)

Pudding: some of the fantastically delicious ice cream from a place in Herne Hill Station which a friend brought me.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Jerk chicken thighs, onion rings, a pickled dill cucumber and a couple of radishes from the first harvest.

No baguette?

 

[Ron Merlin]

No baguette?

Ha, guess I'm kind of predictable No! Bastard shop didn't have any. Again. Words will be had

 

[Ron Merlin]

Oh, I'm on good terms with the manager - I'll just inquire politely and I know he'll be fine. Lovely chap, I've known him for over 13 years now and he runs an excellent local shop. I just want a baguette. First world problems I know..

You could learn to make your own. Or get some of the part baked frozen ones. Put a freezer in the merguez wing.

I do love a cooking challenge so that's a thought, cheers. Not made bread since school though! Need to get the oven element replaced first, it's been bust for ages and I'm skint. When it's fixed I will have to consider extending the merguez wing though. Could do with Nick Knowles' number really

 

[UrbaneFox]

Made a load of baba ganoush. Crispbreads, banana.

 

[fishfinger]

Garlic boerwors, green salad and potato salad.

 

[Aladdin]

Pizza night here.
Homemade pizza that is, with chips and salad.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Veg stir fry and noodles with a sauce made by the girl. Chopped crabsticks in mine/sons and some Fry's strips in hers.
Fresh pineapple for pudding.

 

[moose]

An incredibly big hot meal cooked in multiple ovens at my window-opening-averse mother's.

An incredibly big hot meal cooked in multiple ovens at my window-opening-averse mother's.

I always remember going to visit my mum when she first moved to Spain. Small apartment , 35c temperature when we arrived , sweat rolling off me and and she sat us down for a full Sunday roast that she’d cooked indoors , indoors. It was like a sauna

 

[Epona]

Broad bean and mushroom risotto. Don't have any white wine, thinking of adding some cider instead. Will that work?

How did it go? I often use a bit of dry cider in recipes if I am out of white wine, so I imagine it would turn out fine - not exactly the same, but a good meal!

 

[Epona]

Tonight I am cooking:

Fried halloumi and a small tuna steak for OH
Pork loin steak for me
Tomato, red onion, olive salad
Greek potatoes (roasted in olive oil, veg stock, lemon juice and oregano)
Tzatziki
Baguette (I know OH is going to want to turn a lot of his meal into a massive sarnie )

We also have some melt in the middle salted caramel puddings for afters (with custard). If we have room.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Raspberry sorbet, followed by lemon ice cream.

 

[Epona]

Oh I forgot to say I also have retsina to go with the above (finally made it to Greek Week at Lidl - came away with Retsina, olives and tinned octopus -we'll have the octopus another time). The retsina is all for me because OH can't stand the stuff but I love it - tis the taste of summer for me, it goes with a lot of the Greek themed food that I like to cook and eat

 

[RubyToogood]

Mushroom Szechuan noodles. Not too bad. Cadbury's trifle.

 

[platinumsage]

veggie sausages, pasta, mushrooms, broccoli, tinned tomatoes, onions, two chocolate and banana muffins with cold custard.

 

[sojourner]

Veggie cheeseburgers, chips, tom salad.

Ben and Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Tomato soup with rye & sesame crispbreads to dunk. Will have some lemon sorbet afterwards to cool down.

 

[colacubes]

Wednesday - chilli con carne
Thursday - chicken breasts wrapped in bacon with green beans and the 1st batch of peas from the garden
Friday - rest of the chilli used to bake enchiladas
Yesterday - takeaway. Singapore noodles for him, duck pad Thai for me.
Today - jerk lamb, coleslaw, Spicy grains. Hopefully an ice cream from the can for pud but he seems to have gone awol

 

[Biddlybee]

Jerk lamb? Niiiiice.

 

[UrbaneFox]

You could have the tomato soup cold, gazpacho style, then you wouldn't get warmed up.

Better still, put the tin in the fridge for an hour beforehand. Then you could save on the sorbet.

 

[Espresso]

Just had a cheeseburger. It was lovely. Might go out for a paddle in a bit and get an ice cream.

 

[RubyToogood]

I've actually been to the supermarket albeit had a massive wobble at the length of the queues and got them to queue jump me. And done minor cookery.

So cold chicken, small spuds and salad bits with homemade pesto slathered on top. Basil and garlic from the garden. Satsuma and hobnobs.

 

[Orang Utan]

Grilled lamb steaks with a caper, mustard, tarragon, gherkin and sour cream sauce
