What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Boppity]

yeh sorry, silly me. Oh you are SO self-indulgent

Down right decadent, it's sickening.

 

[Voley]

I might copy your curry NVP, haven't had a super hot one for ages. With a couple of smokes on the side.

It's a constitutional thing. it's important to keep a close eye on your digestion at my age.

 

[friedaweed]

Pft if I was skint I wouldn't be having the egg would I?

D'you want some eggs

 

[Voley]

Jesus. Don't know if that was a good idea or not.

 

[Voley]

Seriously. Fucking hell ...

 

[Greebo]

Mushroom, garlic, and cherry tomato omelette

 

[wtfftw]

I think, baked potato and sausages.

 

[Numbers]

Not sure, we're just gonna go out and see what takes our fancy.

 

[wtfftw]

Now looking like wedges and sausages.

I think, baked potato and sausages.

 

[newme]

Sausage stuffed chicken legs wrapped in streaky bacon served with homemade hash browns made with potatoes Ive just dug up out the garden and corn onna cob

 

[moonsi til]

I have no idea. I would need to do some sort if shop for a lovely meal or have a orange dinner from the oven. Currently I'm swaying towards a curry (Indian) or out for a veggie enchilda plus a portion of fried garlic potatoes with sour cream on the side.

 

[Addy]

Chicken kebab skewars in Chinese, Tikka and Cajun flavours with onions, peppers, tortilla wraps and some garlic and rosemary potato skins.

 

[Voley]

Steak, new potatoes and salad.

 

[Looby]

A FEAST!

Beef rojan josh (kind of shop bought sauce with a bit of messing), bombay potato, basmati, massive naans and samosas.

Smells gorgeous and there's tons of it so should do a few meals.

 

[Greebo]

Floret mix & bamboo shoots with lancashire sauce (onionless equivalent of worcester sauce), cumberland scotch egg, mug of tea.

 

[Corax]

I've spent the afternoon improvising on Ramsey's chilli recipe. Pretty standard, but I wouldn't have thought to stick cinnamon sticks in myself. I'm not convinced they do anything, but that may be because I stuck much much more chilli powder, cumin and fresh chillis than in Gord's recipe, which may have overwhelmed them.

So I now have 1kg plus of pretty decent chilli.

Tonight, I will be eating frozen fish and frozen hash browns, with some tinned marrowfat processed peas. The chilli is going in the fridge to feed me during the week.

For some reason, cooking kills my appetite. After making a dish, I look forward to eating it later, but I really don't fancy it that day.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I can't be arsed. My husband came in at about 8:30pm and son and lodger are working. Husband hungry so I've bunged a couple of spuds in the microwave.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

After a day out we decided on fish, chips and sharing a battered sausage and a saveloy, it was great!

 

[Addy]

Thats sooo wrong

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'm the only one who cooks so I can have a day off sometimes.

 

[Addy]

You should make the others cook.

I cook fri -sun and the mrs cooks mon - thur and the eldest has too cook for the other 2 kids mon - thurs

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Well, my husband is blind and his very few attempts to cook over the last decades have been grim culinary disasters. My son and lodger do cook occasionally but they're shift workers so I tend to cook stuff that can be eaten cold or bunged in the microwave to heat at 4am. They do for themselves on stuff like fry-ups.

 

[Addy]

ahh, I didnt realise about your hubby.

I have just discovered that chicken, stuffing and mayo on wholemeal bread makes an awesome sandwich. (irrelavant i know)

 

[Mrs Magpie]

My husband does his own breakfast at about 6am though, Addy. He has his own shelf in the fridge that has stuff like tomatoes, granary bread, squeezy mayo, cheese, salami & pickles. It means it's easier for him to find stuff he likes for breakfast. All hot drink stuff is in different containers so that he can distinguish between them. The only tins he opens are sardines and the like because I really can't be arsed to braille everything up and a tin of fish never looks like a tin of peaches or baked beans.

Good sandwich combos are never irrelevant. Prefer chicken, stuffing and bread sauce sarnies myself though....

Ooooh! I'd forgotten about jacket potatoes! I thought I was going to be eating rice all week, but the chilli on a jacket might be in order.

I'm frowning deeply about that microwave business though. Jacket's have to have to be oven-done or they're a travesty IMO. The thick, tough, crunchy skin is the best bit!

Question out of curiosity - can you buy ready-printed braille stickers for that kind of use? And if so, are they done at cost, or is someone trying to make a mint out of it?

Hell yeah. Testify.

no, you get out the Perkins
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkins_Brailler
Put some thick plastic adhesive film in it, braille up 'peaches' or whatever, get out the scissors, cut it out and stick it on the tin. I think you can get magnetic stuff too that sticks to tins, or you can just attach the braille with an elastic band. I just can't be arsed, and neither can he.

I'm surprised. It sounds like there's a definite gap in the market for pre-printed labels that you could just whack on.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

They probably exist, but I do a big monthly shop and it's quite a chore just putting everything away, let alone slapping on labels. I know you can you can get talking labels. I definitely don't want chattering in my cupboards.
