What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[moose]

Cauldron sausages, chips and peas.

Everyone is having really lovely sounding teas tonight!

I think I am leaning towards chicken thighs in a creamy (well, a roux based sauce made with oat milk) mushroom, tarragon and garlic sauce (EDIT: oooh a splosh of brandy in that would be ace, I have some brandy).

I have new potatoes that need using, but I am going to be honest, I really want the above with either rice or pasta. I might use the potatoes to make potato salad for lunches/sides over the next few days, that way they'll get used. We both love potato salad so that would be a good use for them!

 

[Skim]

At my mum’s. Vegetable balti Fray Bentos and peas.

 

[Maggot]

Pasta with wild garlic pesto and creme fraiche, plus roast PSB.

I went to my local spoons with my massively jetlagged brother who I haven't seen for 3 and a half years. We had a large mixed grill each, hotwings (that were not hot) and several pints.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

I took my kids to Canova Hall for birthday pizza and pasta, great food.
Outside we saw a man fall unconscious in the middle of Brixton Road so I had to sober up quick, stop the traffic, call an ambulance and give him first aid.
Scary, he was unconscious for about four minutes, but he came round and then the ambulance crew took over.

Well done ringo ! Must have been scary for everyone involved

Tonight we're having something complicated with tofu, not sure what yet.

 

[mrsfran]

Chicken thigh, chickpea and veg traybake with some kind of Moroccan spicing, or maybe curry paste.

 

[Epona]

My bulk retsina order arrived (unfortunately one bottle broke in transit, I have been reassured that my bill is adjusted accordingly), so I feel as though I should make Greek chicken and potatoes to celebrate. Greek salad on the side, I even think we have some hoummus and taramasalata in the fridge. Glass or 2 of retsina ofc

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Smoked peppered mackerel, chestnut mushrooms, peppers and wholegrain rice again.

Fuck me, look at this bad boy. That would be my easter sorted if I won the lottery or something

Dark Chocolate Ostrich Egg | Giant Easter Egg | Hotel Chocolat

Half 70% with almonds, half 70% with hazelnuts extra-large Easter egg, plus dark pralines, truffles and caramels. Over a kilo of chocolate!

You could buy several bottles of gin for that price - far more enjoyable.

2nd birthday meal with my oldest mate at The Marksman in Hackney, which looks amazing.

Possibly underestimating my enjoyment of chocolate

Vegetable balti Fray Bentos

Do you mean that there is a Fray Bentos pie with actual veg balti in it?! Or is it two separate things?

 

[sojourner]

Feta stuffed roast peppers, pesto fusilli, with a rocket/watercress/spinach salad dressed with olive oil and blood orange balsamic.

Co op's delish choccy cake with blueberries, and a decaff tea for afters.

If it helps put you off the chocolate, that eggs look a bit too much like an oversized nutty poo.

Oh good god.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Oh good god.

Are you going to try it and report back?

 

[nottsgirl]

Cheese and biscuits, then berries and yoghurt.

 

[Looby]

We’ve got shredded lamb shawarma from Sainsburys with couscous and peppers, tomatoes and onion fried in a spicy paste. The pitta is mouldy so garlic and coriander nan to go with.
We seem to be spending loads of money on easy to cook stuff to avoid living on oven chips and beans on toast.

Like shite I am! Surely it's more up your street?

I suspect autocorrect has done a number on your tea plans.

Or at least I hope it is due to autocorrect

Spoiler any pictures ....

 

[mrsfran]

Heh. Plain rice for the child.

 

[moonsi til]

Really tasty vegan burger from Gousto so no idea of brand with a vegan mayo & Henderson’s Relish dressing, caramelised onions, lettuce in a brioche bun & homemade oven chips. Cheese was included but I’m not keen on cheese on a burger.

Wholewheat fusilli with wild garlic pesto, spring greens and cherry tomatoes. Satsuma.
