What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[pinkmonkey]

Fried rice and tofu because I was sorting the fridge out and noticed that the tofu is going out of date. I still CBA with cooking - I got an Amazon Fresh order with 3 Charlie Bighams meals in. We never get takeaways and I've had a few of those too. I'm hoping soon I'll get enough rest to get my mojo back, only 4 hospital visits to see my dad this week. N

Saturday roast: chicken, roasties, parsnips, carrots, broc, cabbage, yorkies, gravy and bread sauce.

Husband is making pizza

 

[RubyToogood]

Macaroni cheese from the nice lady at the farmers' market WHICH I WENT TO MYSELF for the first time in months. Plus broccoli and an apple.

I went slightly mad buying veg. I'll have to put myself on a strict ten a day diet for a bit or something.

Saturday means chip van Went with scampi this week since that's what most of the regulars seem to get and it was really good.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Cold meat platter, pumpkin tortellini with Mantovan sausage ragu, semifredo… then the last few wedding guests met st our regular bar for a drink, at least we managed to wrap it up at 1030 rather than 2am

 

[cesare]

Cheese n onion pasties with baked beans, some roasted tomatoes, and some airfried sweet potato chips

Edit: grammar! I then had a dark choc alpro desert with fresh raspberries

 

[Epona]

Absolutely massive pain au raisin and beer

Going to get tea properly back on track on Sunday!

 

[Ms T]

Spicy sichuan pork noodles using the rest of the pork mince.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Grilled asparagus and focaccia- quiet night on sofa before the epic journey home tomorrow

 

[seeformiles]

We’re having a big old prawn cocktail so I’ve just made this mini wheaten soda bread to go with it. Mrs SFM says it looks like someone’s arse

 

[Epona]

I've got some meatballs (mix of pork and beef mince, seasoned) in the freezer, I think I am going to defrost a few and make meatballs with spaghetti (in a spicy tomato sauce, naturally!) and a quornball version for OH to have in the morning after work.
I haven't come up with a better plan involving anything that needs to be used more urgently, so I think I'll go ahead with this, I've been fancying it for a couple of weeks (since someone here mentioned a similar dish! The tea thread does this to me )

There's also a part baked baguette in the fridge that needs to be used as I opened the pack a few days ago, so will do some garlic bread to go with it.

Cuttlefish? What are they like?

Cuttlefish? What are they like?

Sort of squid like .These are fried in breadcrumbs but you can get them simply fried or in the oven and also with rice,or in a bean stew or with other seafood and fish with pasta .

Cuttlefish? What are they like?

Very similar to squid, so if done like that in breadcrumbs would be similar to calamari. In some cuisines squid and cuttlefish are almost interchangeable in terms of what gets breaded and fried

 

[mrsfran]

We went out for pizza, I had mushroom and gorgonzola. Excellent pizza but a bit wasted on me as I'm feeling rough.

Kinda assumed they were just seen prep be a hassle cos well ink and our fishmongers unfortunate pricing policy.

I hate prepping squid tbh, it's like dealing with something that I imagine people think might be in Hangar 51.

I mean apparently they are quite intelligent but they are just full of squishy stuff and I don't know how that works.

(says the biodiversity/environmental monitor )

 

[platinumsage]

Curried pan-fried salmon fillet with turmeric rice, broccoli, spinach and asparagus.

You can buy whole from the fishmongers and prep. You can buy bags of it already prepared and cut. Loads of videos on how to prepare them.

 

[rubbershoes]

Roast chicken with, you know, just the usual. Potatoes, carrots and, erm, lettuce crumble

I know how to do it, the local fishmongers refuse to post prices at all however, then have a minimum price of about 30kg a kilo, regardless of the fish....

Bloody hell that’s expensive - for fresh off the boat high grade tuna I pay about €15 a kilo

Squid was pretty cheap for a while - there was for a bit an overabundance of squid which were proving a bit of a threat to some fish (overfished by us ofc) stocks - so for a while about 10-20 years ago it was "eating this is a cheap source of protein and sustainable"

I am not sure what the score is on that at the moment.

Even frozen here it's £10/kg. Considering every single meat except specific cuts are less it's not encouraging.

 

[friedaweed]

Duck al orange with my two favourite people.

 

[Looby]

Roast chicken, new potatoes, roasted broccoli and tomatoes and green beans. Loads of redcurrant jelly.
Lemon tart for pudding.

ETA-omg that was so good!

 

[RubyToogood]

Fish finger sandwich and soup from the freezer (carrot and pepper) because that was what I felt like.
