What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[smee]

We want to attempt a BBQ tonight if the weather holds - am marinating tofu, mushrooms and peppers and will do something with aubergine too although we only have a teeny camping BBQ. Partner will make flatbreads and a tahini-yogurt sauce to go with.

Weather didn’t hold gone all dull and humid so grilled the veggies/tofu and didn’t do the aubergine or flatbread (freezer pitas instead). Still lovely though!

Two soft multigrain rolls with butter, branston pickle, a slice of smoked red fox cheese and a macaroni pie inside each. Handful of oven chips on the side and a few in the rolls.

Just realised I’m gonna break my own stupid rules with my tea this Friday

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Was lazy and went to Dixie Chicken.

Think fried chicken is one of the few good value meals left.

Partial menu testing for a charity dinner we are running on the weekend. Testing the welcome cocktail - vodka, cherry juice, mint and soda, tuna confit main and cherries in red wine pudding… we are doing all the cooking for 30 people eek!

 

[RubyToogood]

Same as yesterday because the breaded haddock came in a pack of two.

 

[Zorra]

This has me intrigued. Please elaborate!
Does the first have anything to do with the second?

The two are unrelated! Very hard to find non-pork sausages here in Denmark so brought some from the UK. might have needed an early night with the sheer sausagey thrill of it, mind

 

[RubyToogood]

The haddock was very uninspiring really. Can probably do better from the freezer section.

 

[Aladdin]

Beer battered cod and chips.

This was plastic and rubbery. Think it’s got a little bit of wine in it, but what a fucking waste of money

 

[pinkmonkey]

I airfried 4 chicken legs, made a salad for mum with one of them, then my partner arrived, so I made him a chicken salad to take home, I then made my packed lunch using chicken from another leg (I'm working with a client in Manchester all day tomorrow and then I made chicken fried rice for my tea with the fourth one.

The Charlie Bighams lasagna is amazing, not that I can eat one anymore because wheat, I love Charlie Bighams other, non wheaty ready meals, but only marked down which is why our local Morrisons stopped selling them, no one buys them until they're in the tramps buffet. I'm gutted.

 

[moose]

Shroomdogs, roasted brocc, steamed asparagus, Jersey spuds.

We tasted way too many versions of the cocktail… urggghhh

 

[sojourner]

“Taste The Difference” lasagne
Different from what?

Actual food.

 

[sojourner]

An immense amount of spicy wedges, with extra mature cheddar/pea/red onion frittata and salad - love Friday night teas. Carb overload

Moar peanut butter brownies with vanilla ice cream. So much nom.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Thai green curry with pork. Maybe some szechean beans if I can find some good ones in the the shop later.

The Mai Ploy pastes are amazing, but I find Thai curries a bit thin, so thicken with a bit potato starch. I know this is very un authentic.

 

[Biddlybee]

Spag bol, garlic bread and salad.

 

[RubyToogood]

Lentil lasagne, side salad.

 

[Maggot]

Asparagus risotto, aka risotto primavera.

 

[mrsfran]
