What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

I want one!
I think I'm going to make the amatriciana that I failed to cook last night.
We were supposed to be having fish tacos tonight but that got blown out of the water and I didn't even do any shopping.

sojourner's tea sounded lush so I'm having a macaroni pie with salad, freshly picked tomatoes and some of the garlic I roasted a batch of the other day, but taking a leaf out of Numbers' book too and sandwiching the pie and a mashed up buttery baked spud in between two rowies, with some brown sauce. Quadruple carbs

making courgette lasagnes for the freezer.

Ooh that's a good idea (not that I have a courgette glut, people keep bloody buying them all). I've only done tomato sauce for freezing runner beans in, so far.

 

[iona]

Ah fuck I've just remembered I got a yellowstickered ready meal earlier that wants using, tray split on the way home and it's currently out on the side leaking into an oven dish Looks like it's a two tea night

 

[neonwilderness]

Fried halloumi, hummus, flatbread, olives, some salad bits and a slice of Stilton. Plus beers.

Might have a fake cornetto for afters.

I tried a TikTok recipe today and it went well - a tortellini bake.

Here's the recipe:

I left out the basil and ricotta because I didn't have any. Was v quick and easy, will do again.

Oooh good plan, putting that on the list for soon.

Used to do one with tinned tomatoes, red onion, tinned tuna, peppers, chilli, tortellini and whatever cheese was to hand - omnomnom!

Yeah I always try to turn my surplus veg into freezer ready meals of some kind. Future me is always appreciative.

Runners in tomato sauce is much better than just blanching and freezing but I haven't been organised enough yet.

I've got a few portions of tromboncino and chick pea curry down.

 

[sojourner]

Tother half of the macaroni cheese, this time with steamed cauli or sprouts, depending on what I can get.

The pear and ginger cake that's currently baking, with custard if I can get cornflour, single cream if not.

 

[May Kasahara]

Think I might do a Thai curry tonight. Have lots of veg to use up, plus some tofu that's been lingering in the fridge for ages.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Lamb and barley stew

 

[BoatieBird]

Freezer foraged tea.
2 large portions of chicken tagine, 1 small portion of lamb curry.
I've got my eye on the curry.
Rice to go with

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Smoked mackerel, red onion and rice.

 

[Epona]

Depends whether I can be arsed to go shopping or decide to have a very early night.

Cauli.

No fucking cornflour in the Co op! Single cream it is then.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Single cream it is then.

One thing I love doing now and again is to drink a carton of double cream. It's surprisingly filling.

See I think I'm generally OK with lactose and fatty dairy foods in moderation, but I think a whole carton would cause some digestive issues for me.

I'm fine with it thankfully, and it really helps you sleep well.

I'm attempting to kickstart my weight-loss...
Even though I'm basically camping out in my house with muck everywhere and limited access to running water, I was determined to have salad - so half a grated marrow that needed eating, ground flaxseed, balsamic dressing, tahini, crushed-up garlic bruschetta...
I will get a few calories from dessert of jumbo oats, blueberry soy yoghurt, banana, oat milk ...

 

[Saffy]

I've had a bolognese bubbling away in the slow cooker for hours and it smells lush.
So that with pasta and garlic bread.

 

[Epona]

I made it to the supermarket!

First tea of a corned beef and cucumber sarnie, on sliced white bread with butter and Colman's mustard.

Late tea will be a fried pork loin steak with new potatoes (either roasted or just steamed with butter), fried mushrooms, peas and gravy.

 

[Zorra]

All better today. So sausage (lamb and rosemary) and bean casserole with a ton of veg slow cooked at the weekend, with mash. Thought I had made way too much so froze half and we all had tiny teas - made up for it by snarfing the whole of the smug rhubarb (and it was made with literally our entire rhubarb harvest) crumble. Forgot to take a pic when the topping was on but needed to document the most expensive and well loved rhubarb's final end

Love rhubarb - find it a bit acidic these days but I do love it. Crumble or stewed is fantastic

 

[Rebelda]

Frank's wings, wedges and salad. More pineapple sorbet and a much much better mood

 

[neonwilderness]

Steak and ale pie, mash, carrots, broccoli, gravy and English mustard. Plus a couple of glasses of Rioja.

smug rhubarb (and it was made with literally our entire rhubarb harvest) crumble

I harvested mine at the weekend. The hottest day of the year wasn’t ideal for crumble so I’ve now got 3kg of fruit in the freezer to use when the weather turns

Turns out we haven't got any Thai curry paste, so I ended up making vegetable tagine with rice and a tahini dressing. It was fucking well nice!

 

[sojourner]

Carrot and lentil/parsley soup, homebaked wholemeal bread.

2nd portion of the pear and ginger cake with single cream.

 

[Saffy]

I'm going to make a tomato soup recipe I saw posted on Instagram by a woman from Bake off. It should use up a fair amount of the tomatoes I have.
Going to have it with garlic bread.

 

[shakespearegirl]

My lamb stew was lush. Out tonight for Italian, so probably carbonara

 

[Nine Bob Note]

With Monterey Jack cheese and red pepper relish
