What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

Round 2 of the fish stew from last night!

 

[iona]

Smoked peppered mackerel with (smug homegrown) new potatoes and french beans. Need to make more lemon curd to use up the last of those duck eggs, so pudding will be licking the bowl out

 

[Saffy]

The sun is shining and my new garden table and chairs has been delivered, so a dinner of sticky chilli salmon with rice and green beans.

Fake Lidl Twisters (called hurricanes ) for pudding.

 

[redcogs]

beef meat n pasta.

 

[May Kasahara]

Fuck knows, depends what's available when we roll into Stuttgart. Probably some kind of burger and chips meal. And beers.

 

[mrsfran]

Last night I had wolf fish! Never had it before but the man at the fish restaurant highly recommended it and he was right, it was delicious.

Tonight I made a lovely big salad - cherry tomatoes, cucumber, romano peppers, mangetout, broccoli, red onion, avocado, olives, goat cheese pearls and chicken, with a wholegrain mustard dressing. It was awesome.

 

[RubyToogood]

CBA muesli with frozen raspberries and oat milk.

 

[cesare]

We're having chilli with leftover veg and seasoned with chilli oil, with baked sweet potatoes

 

[neonwilderness]

Spinach and ricotta girasoli with a tomato and "stuff from the fridge" sauce

 

[Zorra]

Keema mince and pasta as a sop to both sides of the household

Keema mince and pasta as a sop to both sides of the household

Wow. I mean I love both those things, but never thought to try them together.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I need to get my grocery bills down dramatically, so I'm starting work on some of the many dried beans and pulses I've got in the cupboard. Got some black eyed beans in the slow cooker as I soaked to many for the weekends BBQ so they were already in the fridge. How long can you leave dried beans in water and salt?

Need to think of some dishes that aren't curry/chilli. I mean I love both of those things, but we already eat a lot of them.

What other beans do you have?

Gigantes Plaki, Foul Mudammas, and Mexican refried beans are the first bean dishes that spring to mind.

Edit: Oh, and Ribollita. There's also a great Hairy Bikers sausage and butter bean casserole recipe that I do fairly regularly - let me know if you fancy any of those and I'll dig out the recipe links later!

I've definitely got some pinto & fava beans, so that's a good shout. I seem to have lots of adzuki beans, kidney beans and different types of lentil. Lots of barley and bulger wheat (not a beans I know). I need to actually go through there and actually see what else is lurking.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Wholegrain rice, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. Might chuck a block of feta in.

 

[Epona]

I was considering doing spaghetti & meatballs (quorn ball version for OH to have in the morning) but combination of late cheese salad sarnie lunch and tiredness is making the prospect of cooking seem unlikely at this point.

I'll probably have an early night and cook the above tomorrow afternoon instead.

 

[May Kasahara]

Supermarket fare (boxed salads, olives, crisps and the like), eaten in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere.

 

[muvva]

Sausage, egg and chips.

 

[redcogs]

micro waved jackets wi cheese and salad spiced up with chilli jam. somewhat dull but filling.

 

[Zorra]

Quick tea of filled pasta with a mushroom and spinach cream sauce which took as long to make as it took the garlic bread to heat up

 

[circleline]

Tin of M&S mushroom soup and a heavily buttered (M&S) cheese scone.

Would never order mushroom soup anywhere but this is so utterly delicious and 75p a can (cheaper than heinz) that I just constantly stock up to keep me in soupy deliciousness 'til the end of time.

Work manager asked today if we wanted anything from the shop. I said, what shop you going to? M&S. I said yeah, loads of things. Jokes of course, not a shopping list; but she bought me back a fresh cheese scone (90p each, not the cheaper packets).

So am having the above. Will send photo to manager. Feast at £1.65 (actual) and 75p (cost).

Budget-luxe..

I do like to keep a few tins of soup in, I don't eat it often but it doesn't half come in handy sometimes especially since it doesn't go off for decades if it's in tins.
That and instant noodles.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Salmon in the air fryer, new potatoes on single induction hob and asparagus in the microwave. Because there's no proper cooker at my mums.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Not seen these before, but just had them for tea. Fucking nice with some BBQ sauce and garlic bread

I got a 2 tier microwave steamer in our local charity shop for a couple of quid (I only have a small microwave so 2 tiers is the max) - it includes a wide shallow bottom dish, a steamer basket, and a lid with a steam vent, you can use the dish without the basket or stacked together but I highly recommend something like that - you can do new potatoes with a tablespoon of water in the bottom dish for a few mins then pop the asparagus or similar veg in the steamer basket on top for the last bit of cooking time, saves a bit on multiple appliance use. Also good for steaming fish over potatoes etc.

 

[mrsfran]

Another big salad, was delicious.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Monday's chicken and rice leftovers, large tomato salad, mint-yoghurt stuff, tzatziki. Black- and blueberry milkshake.

Thanks, I'm going to get some of the mushrooms soups.

 

[Biddlybee]

Something very plain again, maybe salt and pepper pasta.
