What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Leek and black eyed bean gratin with crushed buttered spuds and green beans.

More mind-melting brownie and a brew

I'm normally quite sceptical about cooking "hacks" so I'm a bit annoyed at myself about how long it's taken me to realise how much faster it is to peel ginger with a teaspoon then a knife.

 

[Numbers]

Roast potatoe and tomatoe sauce and cheese bake.

 

[Epona]

Egg and cress sarnie
Fish Biriyani

This will blow your mind - you don't actually need to peel it
The skin is a bit hotter so adjust the amount you use accordingly.

 

[newme]

Probably more sausage-in-a-bun, the currywurst ones and the bacon, jalapeno and cheese ones from Morrisons are really nice. Of course we don't have one remotely near us and just grabbed it when we went to my Step Mums.

Is this a thing?

I assumed it was more bitter rather then more ginger tasting?

Yeah seriously just grate or finely chop it whole, no need to peel
I mean it is a root that has been in the ground so make sure it's clean and doesn't have any dirt on it, but really you don't need to peel it

 

[iona]

Chard, potato and chickpea soup with bread and butter. A burnt slice of fruit loaf that someone left in the toaster. Hazelnut dark chocolate.

 

[mrsfran]

Home-grown asparagus and mushroom creamy pasta. Made loads so I can have it cold tomorrow.

 

[May Kasahara]

Pizza! Mr K is making AND has done all the washing up

Oh where did you get that? OH would LOVE a bottle of that, he still raves about a strawberry hot sauce he had a couple of years ago.

I got it as a birthday present from a friend in Berlin. Think neighbours made it. Will see if I can find them online…

Christ nvm I just found the website and looked at the prices, might order a bottle for his birthday

(I did say I wasn't going to buy him any more hot sauce as gifts after he left the last expensive hot sauce I bought him on a train mind you)

Yeah that sounds amazing. Love the red chilli(s) in Manchester, assuming its the same restaurant.

Literally drag a tea spoon along the ginger like you might a peeler. Works way better then you think it should getting round all the weird dents.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Mexican night, corn soup, bean burritos and guacamole, salad. Chilli chocolate cake. The bean burrito was meh but I think that was just me not liking beans. Have to say the food been great so far. We have a free night on weds and all plotting seafood/meat extravaganza

 

[poppy60]

Last night was sausages,broccoli and carrots.tonight will be salmon and the same veg.

 

[BoatieBird]

Fried rice with some leftover beef, ginger, garlic, spring onions, tenderstem broccoli and hoisin sauce.

 

[sojourner]

Traybake tonight - broccoli, red onion, black beans, avocado, chipotle flakes, and chopped salted peanuts. Will have with brown rice and dark romaine salad.

More space brownie, this time with added blueberries, and a decaff tea.

 

[iona]

Other person here who I've been sharing cooking with is doing a special curry meal tonight coz their friend's turning up, but they've been a mardy fucking twat all day and I'd rather do my own thing than be around them tbh. Meh.

 

[cesare]

Veggie lasagne. We're still not feeling like cooking so this is out of the freezer.

 

[mrsfran]

Vegetable & egg fried rice.

 

[Epona]

We're having a skint couple of weeks due to bills so instead of going t'pub tonight to play pool like we normally would on a Tuesday, we're having date night at home instead, bit more expensive home made dinner than we'd usually do is still cheaper than beer and pool!

So I am making prawn linguine which is one of those quick and easy to cook but quite luxurious meals iykwim.
Might see if the little sponge puds are still on offer in Iceland (3 for £3) and get some of those and a tin of custard for afters, or maybe some supermarket tiramisu - will see what costs what and decide accordingly.
Glass of merlot for me, he prefers dry sherry over wine and we have some Fino.
We haven't decided on a film yet

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Some venison grill steaks (although I see they are part pork), spuds and cabbage.
