What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[newme]

Oh fuck knows, I usually use pancetta - pretty much always have some in the freezer and it works well as a substitute

Same when I need it lol was hoping you had an answer.

If I see any in a regular supermarket chain, I'll let you know!
I suspect the answer is probably Italian specialist delis and not as cheap as one might hope for a bit of what is essentially cured spare pig cheek scraps

Yes I nearly bought an entire kilo a minute ago until invoking my no do it tomorrow if buying things and drinking policy.

Good plan, leave it in the basket and revisit tomorrow when sober and not in the first flush of excitement about sourcing a new ingredient

Yeh I ended up with a massive amount of Mexican specialist ingredients this way before. I think 10kg of jalapeños was overboard to start with.

 

[gentlegreen]

I was invited round my neighbours' and I was there a lot longer than expected, so too late for cooking - plus I'm trying to escape the tyranny of my enormous veggie stews and perhaps give my very slow diet a kick up the arse - reliable though it is...
Plus my neighbours shocked me by discussing their lack of enthusiasm for veggies ....

So I started off with a salad made from a large amount of grated marrow - I picked two ginormous ones today...

Dessert will doubtless follow - jumbo oats, blueberry soy yoghurt, banana, oat milk, perhaps some apple with the brown bits cut off that need eating up ...

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Cous cous and veg. About to get started on the Bramley & bramble crumble.

 

[Saffy]

BBQ left overs.
Salmon, veggie kebabs with halloumi, spicy rice and coleslaw.
More strawberries and ice cream for pudding.

 

[iona]

Wholegrain rye bread with posh cultured butter I apparently bought while my brain was melting from the heat earlier, lemon and dill rollmops, smug homegrown tomatoes, fresh cucumber, garlic and fennel pickled cucumber, garlic and herb soft cheese, Norwegian brown cheese.

This again, plus salad and some of the tatties I'm cooking for the week.

 

[sealion]

Spinach and cauliflower curry with vegatable fried rice.

 

[Zorra]

Ugh my reply from last night didn't send (think I fell asleep). Slightly rubbish oven pizza, but still hit the spot. Strawberry cornetto for afters.

And prepared tea for two nights next week as I got some yellow sticker chicken breasts which had to be cooked today.

 

[Zorra]

Tonight was crumbed pesto salmon, new potatoes and a lovely salad. All covered in salad cream for me because I am That Girl: others were more restrained.

 

[May Kasahara]

Just me and the boy tonight. We had fried eggs and wedges; he had bacon and salad with his, I had baked beans.

 

[sojourner]

Macaroni cheese with roasted tomatoes and garlic.

Last of those delish brownies with blueberries.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Was meant to be out for dinner but been cancelled.. debating between lamb and barley stew using leftover lamb from yesterday, or freezer lasagne..

Meant to be my day off but ended up dealing with loads of work dramas so not sure if I cba cooking

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheese. Pilau rice. Half a jar of pickled onions.

Can't be bothered today.

 

[Epona]

Beer

 

[Numbers]

Greek Macaroni Sunshine Bake aka Sheperds Pie with macaroni cheese in place of mashed potatoe.

 

[BoatieBird]

Homemade wedges, garlic & herb chicken and salad

Oooh that looks good, like pasticio?

Oooh that looks good, like pasticio?

Pretty much.

Mrs Numbers made a load of it before we went away for our hols for our cat/house sitting niece - but she only ate some

 

[May Kasahara]

Don't know, but I'm at work and Mr K is WFH so I'm hoping he's sorted it

 

[sojourner]

Macaroni cheese with roasted tomatoes and garlic.

Cor, I forgot quite how fucking lush this is!

 

[Zorra]

Son and I both felt sicky today so dry toast. Daughter had the delicious smelling pasta sauce I made on Saturday - chicken, mushroom, grated butternut, cream and pesto. Ah well! Hopefully all better tomorrow

 

[cesare]

We had katsu chicken with airfryer sweet potato chips, salad and wasabi paste.

Then chocolate torte with raspberries

Delicious

 

[Rebelda]

Pasta with bacon, peppers, lemon and parsley, pineapple sorbet, S&V chip sticks, chocolate and a hefty bad mood.

 

[Numbers]

Chips have made a surprising off-piste addition to tonight so I’m making a triple carb sangwich

 

[RubyToogood]

Hot smoked salmon, smug spuds, smug courgettes cooked in a bit of tomato sauce left over from batch making courgette lasagnes for the freezer.

All elements were very nice but didn't form a cohesive meal.

 

[Numbers]

Sunshine bake with chips on soft pitta with a chips glazier and broken sunshine bake porch
