What's for tea tonight? (#8)

It turns out that afternoons are my most productive cooking time (if schedules mean I am awake during those hours!) OH is working tonight so the aim today is to do an early tea at around 5pm as he didn't eat much this morning.

Today I have cooked a Nepalese meal - Dal Bhat - consisting of several dishes:
Rice (Bhat) - plain basmati
Lentil soup (Dal) - quite soupy with onion, lots of garlic and spices, not hot spicy though
Potato and green bean Tarkari - a tomato based curry, not usually very hot but I have added some chilli
Mooli and red radish pickle
Yoghurt (done like a cucumber raita style)

I also have some flat bread from the local Turkish supermarket!

I didn't do greens today, ran out of time and hob space but tomorrow I shall add a greens dish to the above - radish tops and pak choi with ginger and garlic.

I was also out :thumbs: Went to a nice restaurant and had chicken liver parfait with toast and pickles/salad, followed by sea bass in a prawn and lobster sauce. Surfeit of red wine. It was delicious but very rich :eek: so I will probably just be having steamed veg for tea tonight.
We went to Miller & Carters. I had calamari for starters, rib eye steak with poccini (sp?) Mushroom and black garlic sauce, sweet potato fries and coliflower cheese, washeddow with 2 pornstar martinis, a glass of house red, a long island iced tea then a mini creme brulee with a coffee20211209_190731.jpg
We then went to nearby pubwhere I had another pornstar martini anda bag of scampi fries!
I dont feel that great this morning and my butt is bubbling...🤢
 
I've got to go shopping cos we're perilously short of loo roll and the gas card needs topping up, I think I'm going to do a spaghetti bolognese but it depends on whether I can get any quorn mince for OH's version.
 
I did get quorn mince but due to other stuff haven't actually cooked anything, turns out OH has some curry left for the morning when he gets in from work anyway, so I'll do myself some bacon and eggs in a bit and spag bol will be tomorrow instead.
