What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

I've got a small amount of chicken curry left over from last night, so will have that shortly.

The rest depends on whether I can get the freezer open (I am having freezer issues due to it being too iced up, should have defrosted it a while back!), if I can I am going to salvage my other Morrison's cheese and onion quiche - I had the other one a couple of nights ago and it was delicious - and have it with some Greek salad.

If I can't get the freezer open I am going to have to turn it off until the ice holding the door shut melts enough for me to open the door and then see what I can salvage to defrost in the fridge overnight//tomorrow, in which case I might end up eating Greek salad and a packet of noodles or something from the cupboard tonight. And quiche with a fuck of a lot of chicken and sausages tomorrow

Peanut chicken and noodles. It was a little bit dry but good.

 

[RubyToogood]

Slightly random combo of farmers' market macaroni cheese and a globe artichoke.

 

[Zorra]

Inexplicable full Sunday dinner: roast chicken, Yorkshires, mash, stuffing, greens and gravy. It was lush but feel like I've used up my tea-preparation mojo for the rest of the week and it'll be beans on toast until Friday.

 

[RubyToogood]

Oh and I sliced and buttered a piece of bread today. That was an encore to cutting up an apple yesterday

 

[moose]

Spaghetti with roasted pepper and tomato sauce, garlic bread.
Lemon pudding.

 

[Aladdin]

Fried up some mushrooms in butter with black pepper...
Then made an omelette and popped them in.
Some parmigiano on top.

It was tasty

I read this last night and thought of the tea thread!

Cuttlefish remember details of their last meal, study finds

Bouillabaisse for me and the boy and veggie chilli with avo salsa and cheese for the girl.

 

[Elpenor]

I’ve defrosted some chicken so that is my starting point. Probably will add some frozen veg and I’ve got a lot of onions to use up too

 

[BoatieBird]

Snap Elpenor!
I've defrosted some chicken and that's as far as I've got.
Might do a pasta thing with red peppers, cherry toms from the greenhouse and a load of black olives.

 

[Badgers]

Something with chippy chups I think. Not sure what format yet

Ham, egg and chups?
Sausage, chups and beans?
Chicken and chups?

There will be butty bread

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A sandwich. Got some tomatoes and radishes that need using so will eat them too.

 

[sojourner]

Warm beetroot falafel and salad wraps, lathered in chipotle/garlic mayo, with curly fries, cos am craving them.

Decaff tea and a fat slice of choc and coffee cake.

 

[Aladdin]

Baked Haddock
New potatoes
Mashed turnips and parsley sauce.

 

[Looby]

Quick spag bol using a Lloyd Grossman sauce. Lemon tart that needs using.

 

[moose]

Rather nice vegan sausages, lots of mash, roasted lemony romanesco and asparagus.
The rest of the lemon pudding. I might burst. On the other hand I might have room for wine.

 

[Epona]

I am in a bit of a panic defrosting the freezer (due to it going over-iced and it couldn't be put off any more, there was some glacier action going on) and salvaging stuff.

We seem to have about 20 sausages, 4 tuna steaks, and a salmon steak - I think we need to prioritise the fish to cook and eat as that is the most expensive stuff.

So I think there is going to be tuna for breakfast and for tea

Epona when you do a defrost, you can keep most of it frozen by wrapping it in old towels or newspaper and popping it in your bath or the sink in your bathroom That way you don't have to eat everything in a oner.

 

[onenameshelley]

Yesterday was veggie curry, rice and poppadoms for me and the Magoo, lamb tagine, cous cous, flat breads for himself.

Tonight a chicken Thai yellow curry from a reduced kit thingy I got yesterday. And veggie sausages and alphabites and brocoli for Magoo.

Yeah I know but our flat is fucking boiling, I can salvage most of it however - like the massive bag of quorn mince I have cooked up with onions, garlic, tomato - that can be refrozen as a base for veggie chilli or bolognese. I have some chicken defrosting in the fridge which I will cook later. Most stuff has been salvaged thankfully!

 

[seeformiles]

Leftover pancakes filled with chicken, Gruyere and jalapeños, covered in a cheese sauce, baked for 30mins and served with sauerkraut

 

[Epona]

I actually cooked fried eggs, mushrooms, veggie sausages, chips for OH but didn't eat anything myself last night (the only thing defrosted enough from the freezer situation was the veggie sausages). So I am now very hungry.

Also a mouse snacked on one of the pork sausages I had put in a bowl on the counter for a few minutes.

 

[platinumsage]

tofu, shiitake mushrooms, miso, red peppers, broccoli, cabbage, celery, rice, sardines.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I've got some pork mince in the fridge for tonight that I've some apathy for. I normally like it, quick and takes flavours well. Probably some Szechuan pepper, chilli, gochujang, loads of garlic and soy sauce with rice.

The night before last felt pretty flat and ended up deep-frying bits of pork in sticking them in a spicy sauce to cheer me up. Last night still wasn't feeling it, I drove to two chippies and they were both shut, so fried frozen chips and had chilli from the freezer.

I will cook it tonight. And should probably do something healthy like kale on the side.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Scrambled eggs on two toasted muffins.

 

[Elpenor]

The chicken I defrosted last night wasn’t defrosted when I came to cook so that with something else

 

[sojourner]

Jamie Oliver's spinach and mushroom sourdough pizza. Thought I'd give it a second try. So that, with garrrrlic bread and salad. Ooo and garlic button mushrooms.

And cake - choc and coffee.

 

[RubyToogood]

Tagliatelle with the pesto of smugness (home grown basil and garlic). Chunks of tomato and goats cheese stirred through.

I just eyeballed the pesto when making it and it's a bit too creamy and not quite pungent enough. Should have had more garlic and less oil perhaps.

 

[nottsgirl]

Spaghetti al limone.

I was working till 7pm so made a cheats chicken curry, browned the chicken with 2 onions, added a tin of vegetable curry for the last 5 minutes.

Much nicer than anything I could cook and required minimal chopping and cooking. A bit hungry as had skipped other meals today.
