What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[May Kasahara]

Going out for dinner

 

[Skim]

Massive baked sweet potato, smoked cod and a bag of spinach with too much salt and pepper.

 

[onenameshelley]

As we get any yellow stickers free after 9pm I have had a look and it's incredibly slim pickings, not even a bloody yogurt left tonight!! So gonna grab the free bread in the canteen and make a sandwich when I get home. The small one had her tea at mums house so I shall assume that she had 2 bowls of ice cream. Himself has shakshuka.

 

[onenameshelley]

rave horn the lad doing the stickers forgot to put a tray out, got 3 packs of sausages for free, so it's a sausage sandwich with wasabi and ready salted crisps. And a gin.

 

[RubyToogood]

I had most of a big sushi roll and a pumpkin croquette katsu curry. And a satsuma.

Everything but the satsuma, my idea of food heaven❤❤❤

 

[MrCurry]

yesterday was takeaway burger and fries and today and also tomorrow will be taco pie (quiche made with taco meat and cheese) plus oven chips, because it’s a quick dinner after watching the F1 on telly.

 

[Epona]

Tea didn't happen last night, we had quite a big lunch and then went shopping and to the pub, then I fancied a nap which turned into a longer sleep.

So we're having cottage pie for breakfast instead

 

[Badgers]

Pork belly fried with onion, peppers and hoisin sauce. Served on a bed of buttered spiced cabbage.

 

[BoatieBird]

Pasta bake with ham, leek and a cheesy/mustardy sauce.

It'll be nice... I hope.

Eta...we will have another Christmas dinner on 25th Dec...

 

[Pickman's model]

If it's not nice it will have the real Xmas hallmark

Tonight we have a hand made chicken, smoked bacon and leek pie courtesy of Aldi (not had it before so shall see if its ok, it's their posh range), with mash and carrots and peas. And steamed Cadbury chocolate puds for afters.

Cranberry sauce?

 

[Epona]

I've got round 2 of my cottage pie tonight but I am still stuffed from round 1 this morning and cannot summon up much enthusiasm at the moment!

Hopefully I will get hungry later, I do love cottage pie!

 

[Pickman's model]

Cranberry sauce?

No cranberry sauce in the Turkish shop - they never stock it

 

[May Kasahara]

Pasta bake with ham, leek and a cheesy/mustardy sauce.

We are also having a cheesy leek pasta bake but with added kale and a chorizo crumb on the top.

 

[onenameshelley]

BREAKING PIE REPORT: the pie was really nice, lovely light pastry with poppy seeds on the top, absolutly packed full of chicken, bacon and leek, but it needed a splodge more sauce. 9/10

 

[tonysingh]

Nut roast, stuffing and sprouts

 

[killer b]

a really banging minestrone soup

 

[Aladdin]

Just finished off the pudding
We are stuffed to the gills.

Time to fall asleep in a chair.

Solo Sunday for me (well most evening meals are tbf) and today I am pushing the boat out.

Morrison's had beef topside joints on special offer on Friday (not yellow stickered, just on special) - it's been probably decades since I had roast beef and I thought fuck it, had a rummage through the cabinet to see if I could find a small one/check the price of such, and bought a diddy little 500g one - I don't need a mountain of meat with a roast dinner with lots of sides, so if I stretch it to a couple of meals, I can justify getting something a bit more £/Kg (even on special) than I would usually buy.

So I am really excited about my tea tonight!!!

Roast beef
Yorkshire Puds
Roast Potatoes
Stuffing (the 1 remaining uncooked ball in the freezer from the last batch I made and froze so that is very low effort and needs using)
Roast Parsnips and Carrots (may test out a marmalade glaze to see if it is a goer for Xmas dinner)
Sprouts
Will make a gravy with red wine. Will also have mustard of course.

I really can't wait, I am hungry now but OH is asleep and needs to get himself something to eat in a few hours before he goes to work, so I am going to get cracking on prep once he has left for work this evening. Just debating with myself what size of Yorkshire(s) I want to make. I often suffer from eyes bigger than belly when it comes to Yorkshire provision. Little ones will probably work better for distributing leftovers around any spare gaps in the freezer.

Been daydreaming about this meal and planning it since Friday
Need to be careful with timings with such a small bit of topside!

That sounds great and I'm envious. Tonight for me it's a few beers and a packet of crisps...

 

[Badgers]

Pork belly fried with onion, peppers and hoisin sauce. Served on a bed of buttered spiced cabbage.

This was delayed due to laziness and alcohol so having it later. Longer marinating is no bad thing. Added more garlic.

God that sounds AMAZING

 

[BoatieBird]

Slow cooked (in the oven) spicy beef stew.
It's my first time using berbere spice blend, I hope I haven't been too heavy handed with it

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Vegetables.

 

[onenameshelley]

Himself is having seafood tacos (salmon, cod, prawns) with guacamole, sour cream and red cabbage. Small wants mini pizzas and chips. I am having veggie egg fried rice, with veggie gyzoa. Sometimes it's actually easier for me to cook 3 different meals.

 

[nottsgirl]

Spaghetti with tomato and aubergine sauce.
