What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Change of plan, I'm going out!

Where to?

 

[mrsfran]

Where to?

I dunno! Surprise American guest, I've got to decide where to take her in my local area.

 

[Part 2]

Veggie meatball carrot and red lentil dahl with rice and flatbread.....3rd day running.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Chicken curry!

 

[nottsgirl]

Pierogi. They weren’t amazing. Strawberries.

 

[RubyToogood]

Got back late and not really wanting a full meal so defrosted a home made burger bun and the last of the Christmas nut roast. Bit of mayo, bit of mango chutney, delicious.

 

[sojourner]

Penne arrabiatta with black olives chucked in, and lathered in grated extra mature cheddar.

Some of those crack-like choccy truffles I went and got myself another 2 boxes of.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Dunno yet - going to pop to M & S after work so will get something then.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Chicken curry!
Again

 

[Epona]

I'm going to make bolognese sauces this afternoon - meat for me, quorn and veggies version for OH. Will last 2 nights for me and 2 mornings for OH.

Not sure what pasta to have with it yet, I think I have some bucatini which OH isn't keen on (is it the marmite of pastas?) but I love it so it's a good idea for a solo meal. He likes tagliatelle or spaghetti with his, I know we have just enough tagliatelle for 1 large portion so that would work well for him to have with his sauce in the morning.

 

[May Kasahara]

Hot dogs and veg for the kids, quiche and veg for the adults. A few glasses of red wine for me, and hopefully an early night.

 

[iona]

Nettle and wild garlic soup. Made with all homegrown veg, including the stock, and eaten with homemade sourdough bread that I grind my own rye flour for, just for extra foodie eco wanker smugness

 

[Part 2]

Aldi no beef vegan pastie, mash, brocolli, carrots and gravy.

I'd usually have the pasties with mushy peas, chips and gravy but got the urge for a load of veg.

 

[Numbers]

Baked Potatoe - for me cheese, beans, cheese. For Mrs Numbers cheese & sweetcorn.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Back from the shops.

Apple Turnovers. Then chicken jalfrezi with pilau rice, bombay aloo and onion bhajis for afters.

 

[Skim]

Bits and pieces tonight: meatless meatballs, mini wraps, stuffed vine leaves, aubergine dip, humous and mixed olives. Maybe a cheeky Tunnocks Caramel Wafer.

 

[RubyToogood]

Mushroom and celeriac soup as I have both mushrooms and celeriac and it's a winning combo. The home made burger bun was very nice so another of those containing a beanburger with mayo and gherkin. Maybe cheese, haven't decided.

 

[nottsgirl]

Southern fried veggie chicken sandwiches with all the sauces (ketchup and garlic mayo). Salad.

 

[moose]

Having wondered about you lot's traybakes, I finally made my own. Carrots, spuds, tender stem broccoli, plum tomatoes, garlic, veggie sausages. Was very nice!

 

[moonsi til]

Ha! I was thinking veggie sausage tray bake but settled on hot diggity dogs with onions, ketchup & mouseturd.

Traybake tomorrow or sausage & mash.

 

[Epona]

Having wondered about you lot's traybakes, I finally made my own. Carrots, spuds, tender stem broccoli, plum tomatoes, garlic, veggie sausages. Was very nice!

The whole traybake thing saved me a lot of work cooking (and washing up time for OH who does most of that) the last couple of days and went down really well with both of us. Will definitely do it again in future. OH particularly wants fish as part of his which is usually quite short cooking time but it's easy enough to pop a fish fillet on the top for the last 15 mins of cooking.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Wild boar and apple sausage sarnie tonight. Brown sauce obviously. Phwoar.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Traybakes are ace for when you can't really be arsed but want a nice tea. Zero time spent actually cooking and only 1 thing to wash up.

 

[Voley]

Is it too early to be thinking about tonight's tea?

Well I am doing because I am being treated to dinner here

Kota Kai - Kota Kai | Bar / Kitchen

www.kotakai.co.uk

Great British Menu chef and everything.

And am really looking forward to it. I'm thinking something Thai-y and spicy with one of today's fish in it somewhere.

 

[moose]

Very nice Voley, do let us know what you scoffed.

We're having a home made tarka dal with rice and samosas.

 

[sojourner]

Cauldron Lincolnshire saussies on big wholemeal baps, with fried eggs on top. Lashings of brown sauce and Reggae sauce.

Gu cheesecakes.

This is my sort of cooking. I'm going to get into this, I think.

 

[BoatieBird]

All this traybake talk has reminded me to ask quimcunx, what exactly is a protestant traybake?

 

[Aladdin]

Mixed salad leaves.
Baked salmon

On a strict diet ... dammit

One of our fav places in London to eat is Pizarro on Bermondsey St. Occasionally Jose Pizarro cooks there, it's an open kitchen and you can actually get seats as if sitting at a bar, overlooking the kitchen, it's great seeing a chef like him in action and preparing your food.

Enjoy your evening.
