What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[machine cat]

How does that work then? Looks like a fondue

Works in a similar way tbh. A portable electric hob keeps the soup in the pot simmering while you chuck in loads of meat and veg, wait for it to cook, pick it out and nom.

You're making me hungry too! I love that thin beef and the way it comes in little curls.

Are you China? Your mention of lunch time makes me think you're not.

I'm not in China but we're able to source all most of the food for hotpot that we used to use when we live there.

Most of the chinese supermarkets sell the thin meat and Little Sheep

have brought out their own range of soups

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Hahaha, that Little Sheep cracks me up.

That's great that it's all available where you are, have a yummy tea!

You have a pot of simmering stock on the table - I like it to be spicy, Szechuan style - and you cook stuff like tofu, mushrooms, very thinly sliced beef, prawns, Chinese greens in it. It's a bit like a meat fondue, but Chinese style. At the end, when the stock is highly flavoured from all the ingredients, you add some noodles. It's delish.

Poor machine cat.

Shabu Shabu is yummy too, biddly. It's Japan's version of Chinese hotpot.

Sounds really nice, and a lot healthier than fondue

Will try and heat up some veg chilli before heading out to play records if there's time, otherwise it'll just be beer.

 

[sojourner]

Dunno - off out tonight to watch (throw myself around in an ungainly fashion) me chap's band play their arses off, so erm...fried egg butty? Before copious amounts of beer? Yep - sounds about right

 

[colacubes]

Dunno - probably popcorn/ice cream at the cinema

 

[Biddlybee]

I've got the itch for something naughty... a week of salads does that

Shouldn't this be on nobbing and sobbing?

 

[Biddlybee]

you know what I mean.

Maybe some pasta? Smoked mackerel pasta?

 

[sheothebudworths]

Smoked makerel pasta salad?!

 

[Biddlybee]

Yeh, but pasta isn't really salad, especially not when it's hot :

 

[sheothebudworths]

No, I know - it was a *suggestion* iyswim (cold pasta/mackerel salad is nice! buuuuuuuuuut....it's more salad )....

 

[Biddlybee]

True, true, but I don't want to be too naughty... then I can have cider and jerk chicken tomorrow (and maybe even rice ).

This looks nice, and we've still got peas in our empty undefrosted freezer

[sheothebudworths]

Does look nice - DO IT!

And a bit of rice tomorrow, no probs!





(I scoffed my cream cake last night after all, btw )

 

[Biddlybee]

you feeling better?

 

[Voley]

Chilli pork stirfry with garlic, spring onion, peppers and all sorts of other good shit.

 

[stuff_it]

Was supposed to be up town eating out at Las Iguanas, but instead I am subsisting on Pistachios waiting for my boyfriend to get up. (He works nights)

 

[invisibleplanet]

Moussaka, with corn on the cob, and baked potato

 

[madzone]

Takeaway.

I'm tired.

 

[sheothebudworths]

you feeling better?

Well I am but there again that could be cos I've only had a bit of toast today.......visions of having to make a very fast AND VERY OBVIOUS exit from the violin concert this arvo meant I was too scared to risk eating anything more.

Drinking wine now though........

 

[Greebo]

sausage rolls and minted new potatoes

 

[moose]

Some weird shop-bought cannelloni. Meh.

 

[feyr]

homemade burgers with lettuce, bacon and plastic cheese slices.

 

[blueplume]

it was a nice bbq, pork chops, saveloy, oignons, tomatoes, with a potatoes salad

 

[sheothebudworths]

My latest usual *no kids* easy meal - bulghur, yellow pepper, red onion, garlic, mushroom (literally A mushroom - there's only one left ), spinach, courgette, king prawns, thyme, chives, soy sauce, tabasco.

Got lots of fruit to eat - grapes, strawbs and blueberries from the garden, melon - so prob some of that for pudding - maybe an almond finger too.

mystery m&s tenner deal

 

[Looby]

Pizza, salad, garlic bread, all eaten with a scowl.
