What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

My dad used to make the best spiced pickled onions ever BoatieBird . Making my mouth water thinking about them.

 

[platinumsage]

Chicken fried rice.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two salmon fillets with some veg stuff (all reduced to clear the other day).

 

[Biddlybee]

Girls want leftover mini roast. I'll be having cheeses, crackers and fruit.

 

[onenameshelley]

I have failed in my salad plans. I have gone with a turkey club and a whole bag of handcooked black pepper crisps, a vodka and apple juice and many, many chocolate truffles for pud. Imagine the words FUCK IT!! Flashing next to me while I eat

 

[Biddlybee]

Oh shells, I've eaten more chocolate in the last two days than I have all year. Mañana eh x

Yup. I had about 15 on the trot before. Trying to not eat cashews now.

Definitely, plans are long forest walk, some spicy tortilla soup and jacket spuds and Salad for tea. I need something light and spicy and comforting.

Yesterday was sirloin steak, chips and peas washed down with a Cabernet Syrah.

Tonight it's that old favourite chicken, chorizo and bean stew.

Last year OH was working at a well known London market around Xmas time and came home one day just after Xmas with 4 FUCKING KILOS of posh chocolate truffles that weren't able to be sold by their best before date - but were still fine to eat.
They were absolutely delicious, I had to pace myself a bit, they lasted us until May.

 

[hash tag]

Deja vu for me, nearly. The joy of eating at work.

 

[Badgers]

Off to Stratford-on-Avon today/tonight. Have got some leftovers so probably that. Will have a nose around and see if there is anywhere very Covid 'safe' to get something different from Christmas Fayre but if not will grab a baguette or something and eat more cold meats

 

[gentlegreen]

I had my first seasonal dinner yesterday - I'm building up gently :-

I put the last of my infernal stew in a jar in the freezer and scrubbed the pan - I need a break from umami.

Day 1 -carrots, unpeeled Maris Piper spuds, whole 500g bag of sprouts.
Tahini, cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, Fitou ...

It turned out perfectly - no water left in the pan.

Hopefully tonight I will remember the mushrooms, Cavallo Nero kale and tofu burgers

 

[Looby]

I don’t know. I asked what the other two wanted to do, keep grazing on cheese and leftovers or cook an actual meal with vegetables and stuff.
No-one answered me so they can sort it out.

 

[hash tag]

I'm looking forward to my first proper dinner for 5 or is it 6 days. I will be very grateful for whatever it is Mrs tag decides to cook. I know it won't be seasonal.

 

[sojourner]

Sauteed potato/green bean/toasted cashew Sri Lankan curry with brown basmati.

Some of the endless supply of truffles!

 

[Orang Utan]

Truffle arancini
Other leftovers
Loads of dessert leftovers

 

[onenameshelley]

We went with the jacket spuds, salad, cold cuts and pickles we were supposed to have yesterday.

 

[Skim]

Mushroom/feta pie and mash

 

[Epona]

Morrisons was awash with yellow stickered veg (seriously crates of the stuff piled up waiting for shelf room) - I got a couple of punnets of chestnut mushrooms for 20p each and a bag of courgettes.

I wasn't quite sure what I was going to have for tea (other than it needed to involve leftover roast chicken and possibly use up some streaky bacon) but the veg I got means I am leaning towards chicken, bacon, mushroom and courgette orzotto.

 

[Aladdin]

Turkey curry.
That's the last of it now
.
Phew...

 

[moonsi til]

Mushroom & lentil lasagne, garlic potatoes with sour cream & salad leaves dressed in balsamic vinegar & olive oil.

 

[RubyToogood]

Baked spud with cheese and coleslaw, nut roast with bread sauce and cranberry sauce, mince pie and rum butter.

 

[colacubes]

Mash, bubble, pickles and cold meat. Was going to have trifle for pud but too stuffed

 

[May Kasahara]

Cheese, crackers, seedy sourdough, red pepper, cucumber, olives, apple, pickled onions. Eaten off a tray in front of the telly

 

[onenameshelley]

cheese and crackers, olives and crisps.

 

[Aladdin]

Last of the Christmas ham, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots and white sauce.

Last of the pudding.

 

[fishfinger]

Disappointing Chinese delivery.

 

[moose]

A shop bought melanzane parmigiana from the freezer, which was surprisingly nice, roasted broccoli and chips.
Leftover butterfly buns.

 

[Epona]

I had 4x rashers of streaky bacon, 3x eggs - scrambled, a huge amount of fried chestnut mushrooms, fried bread, and buttered toast.

I don't normally go to Asda, but bought some of their luxury range streaky bacon in there before Xmas - it's better than Morrisons luxury range so far. I don't buy bacon that often but will try to fit in a trip to Asda when I want some in future. Bacon is the one thing I have rarely but spend a bit more on because there is such variable quality.
