What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

Chinese Fakeaway for us tonight!

Veggie noodles (not the usual lo-mein though cos OH fancied different noodles for a change so will make it up as I go along using those!) and egg fried rice for both of us.
I'll have a chicken dish- either kung pao chicken (with cashews instead of peanuts) or chicken and peppers in black bean sauce
OH wants sweet & sour prawns

 

[Ms T]

I'm impressed you made up your own recipe sojourner!

Was going to be a one-pot Chinese chicken rice thing from Recipetineats but the OH has been sent to Nottingham because of the attacks and so I CBA to cook it just for myself. So not sure yet but will be a fridge forage of some kind. Luckily my fridge is always full!

Crumpets with butter.

I have very little idea what it is but its leftover takeaway from ordering enough food for 5 people and there being 2. Some kind of kebabish thing but with no veg/salad or naan/pitta. Looks like a big pile of deliciously flavoured meat, also seems to be some alleged Calzone and 2 onion rings? Idk what we were planning, I had fish and chips?

 

[sojourner]

Tonight's tea will (hopefully) be made by the fella! I have left him clear printed instructions on how to make a tomato and mascarpone sauce with penne. I think it'll be better for him to cook it on his own in the daytime so he can make as much noise as he likes without winding me up. Normally in the kitchen, he bangs stuff round, drops stuff, and swears like a fucking trooper - proper stresses me out!

Penultimate lemony muffins tonight. Might get him making brownies tomorrow!

The boy done good. 10/10 in fact

 

[shakespearegirl]

Prawn summer rolls

 

[moose]

Bosh Tofu Enchilada Bake which was delicious, and I have some left over for dinner tomorrow. Couldn't get the fancy mushrooms so just used normal mushrooms and grated 'em. I'd probably make it hotter next time - I held back on the chilli because the sauce seemed very hot on its own, but the rest of the recipe dampened it down.

 

[May Kasahara]

Baked potatoes with beans and cheese.

 

[pinkmonkey]

A vaguely Thai noodle salad, cooked up some flat rice noodles in chicken stock, mixed in shredded chicken, spring onion, grated carrot, coriander, tomatoes and green beans. Made a peanut dressing from squeezy peanut butter (first time buying/using its runny so perfect for this), soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice and mae ploy. Was a lovely dressing, but I wish I’d made double the amount. First time I’ve got creative in months.

 

[Zorra]

Spaghetti carbonara made with turkey bacon as we don't eat pork, asparagus. Lovely orange and raspberry sorbet ice lollies for afters sitting in the garden admiring our single tomato plant.

 

[sojourner]

Stoked by his success, himself will be making roast peppers/onions/tomatoes/garlic/field mushrooms with pesto pasta for tea tonight! I'm so pleased he's finally having a crack at cooking. It does work better if he's on his own to read and follow the recipe in his own (very methodical!) time without me hanging over his shoulder.

Asda's Finest dark choc and seville orange cookies with a decaff coffee.

 

[shakespearegirl]

My friend is opening a Nepalese restaurant in Faro tonight, so early pop by there for food before a 4.40am pickup for the airport to fly to Londres…

Welsh cheddar and smoked bacon sausages,carrots,green beans and baby potatoes.Mr poppy is having pukka pie and french fries.

10/10 again Said he enjoyed cooking it too. I could get used to this!

 

[Numbers]

Meatballs and salad for herself, tomatoe and basil soup with freshly made warm soda bread for himself.

All made lovingly from scratch in Cafe Numbers.

 

[RubyToogood]

Yesterday was fish and chips in the pub.

Today Cook microwave tomato and mozzarella risotto left over from when I was properly ill, because I had a bar of Ritter Sport this afternoon and wasn't very interested. Very nice risotto though.

 

[May Kasahara]

At the moment, a can of gin on the train. When I get home, who knows?

 

[Epona]

I had leftovers of veggie noodles and kung pao chicken (with cashews instead of peanuts!) from last night

Correction: a second can of gin.

 

[iona]

The last half fillet of smoked mackerel. About half a pound of lettuce dunked in balsamic dressing coz I got a bit overenthusiastic when I was picking salad mix for the shop. Couple slices of smoked cheddar. Toasted buttered rowies.

 

[sojourner]

Blimey, he's going for the hat trick! 3 bean chilli with brown rice, sour cream and all the cheese tonight!

 

[poppy60]

Chicken-en-croute and salad.

 

[Looby]

I’m meeting my friend after her swim and going to Harvester on the beach. Whatever I have will be disappointing but it’s a nice view and I do love a salad cart and those little rolls.

 

[May Kasahara]

Pork meatballs in a garlicky tomato sauce, with rice and green veg.

another roaring success.

 

[RubyToogood]

Cheese arancini, tomato salad, green salad, bread, a peach.

 

[weltweit]

I have been eating salads in the evening recently, radish, tomato, leafy stuff, peppers, cucumber and courgettes.

And a little light Hellmans mayonaise

It has been very successful so I plan to buy more stuff, it all came from Lidl.

Tonight though no salad left so I had tortelini which a boiled and simmered for just 3 minutes and it was quite pleasent.

However the packet I bought has enough for about 4 servings which is a bit of a pain.

There don't seem to be many things that are sized for a single person.

You could portion it up and freeze it weltweit, and cook it from frozen - it only takes an extra couple of minutes.

I have had it in the fridge a few days now, isn't it too late?

Not at all!
If it's OK to eat today then it's fine to freeze today.
