What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[mrsfran]

Yesterday was pork shoulder, mash and peas, today is veal escalopes, potato wedges and baby courgettes. An unusual amount of meat for midweek.

Make sure you look after yourself

Today I cooked up a load of purple French beans from the garden then added a can of chickpeas and a can of tomatoes.

 

[Epona]

Didn't get round to my pork steak last night, so will be having that tonight instead.
Although have to admit it was a toss up between that and keema which I also have a hankering for. I might have that tomorrow.

Noodles with frozen mixed veg, then either a cpl of boiled eggs or a cpl of chicken wings - I can’t have chicken and eggs in the same meal, seems wrong.

I love those purple French beans . I think they have a stronger taste than the green ones , more earthy .

Shepherd’s pie

Had a lovely patatas a lo pobre yesterday with added Tajin.

And at the weekend I made farfalle with broad beans, tarragon and ricotta - banging!

Yes and I picked a lot of them much too late, but they were fine - I made sure I cooked them well...

 

[Zorra]

Chicken/lentil/pumpkin/spinach curry with rice and naan. All knackered and have early starts so headed straight to bed afterwards.

 

[RubyToogood]

Slightly odd using-things-up meal of purple salad potatoes, courgettes, remains of a carton of bechamel, and fish fingers.

Stopped in Birmingham for work. Found an amazing place. They seemed a bit suprised to see me, but were really nice. And the whole lot was only £12.20. Bits of meat on bone in a curry meant eating with my hands was essential. .

It must have been good, it's rendered you speechless

 

[Epona]

Looks really good btw, that wouldn't touch the sides.

Unlike the food, the 4g in the pub I'm staying in shit.

I think I've done some weird photography here. I can eat loads and I'm stuffed.

It just looks proper, especially the meat curry - I don't get to that part of the world very often, but was was the name of the place? Just in case

Sadly I'm unlikely to as well. Had to do two days in a row here for work and suggested I stay over. It's still cheaper for my boss paying for accommodation and food, then to have me drive home and back in the morning and I'm so glad to save 5 to 6 hours on the M6. Can't belive i didn't think of it a year ago.

 

[neonwilderness]

Chicken satay skewers, more flatbread, hummus and salad bits.

 

[iona]

Yellowstickered shepherds pie, whatever old veg I swapped out from the shop fridge that needs using first. Runner beans and salad I think.

 

[Aladdin]

Quiche.

 

[Epona]

Well I enjoyed my pork loin steak, but on opening the pack it seems that Morrison's aren't selling them with a shred of fat on them any more, it's all been trimmed off.
Had to brush in oil, would have preferred if they'd left some fat on the edge of it so I could hold it edge down using tongs in the hot pan to render that.
Maybe I'm being paranoid but I feel a bit food policed (meanwhile they still bulk out their overpriced ready meals with sugar!)

It was a nice meal mind.

I’m having a plain old ham, cheese, tomatoe, iceberg lettuce sandwich

Wrights Food Fayre between T2 and the bus park at Dublin Airport sell this sandwich and it’s prob’ my fav’ transit sandwich ever.

I’m going to try and replicate but might Scooby it up to a triple decker.

Proper cheese & onion Tayto on the side.

[shakespearegirl]

Chicken Kiev, baked sweet potatoes, corn

 

[pinkmonkey]

Freezer curry, if I remember to bring it back from mums, which isn't guaranteed.

 

[Epona]

I think tonight I'll go with the keema that I fancied last night.
Might also do some rice to go with, or just have it with bread and butter.

 

[May Kasahara]

Some sort of tomatoey pasta, with garlic bread on the side if there still is some in the freezer.

Decided to go for a mushroom pilau to go with it, different than the mushroom fried rice I often do but a bit less faff as it doesn't require pre-cooked/leftover rice (which doesn't lend itself well to last minute rice dish decisions.)

 

[Orang Utan]

Can I just recommend a seasoning on here? The aforementioned Tajin - it lush on everything. So far I’ve had it in a potato and pepper stew, on an omelette and as a rim for a Mango and orange Margarita and I’m going to have it on some grilled pineapple in a bit.

 

[Zorra]

Oven tea of chips and whatever with baked beans. Its Thursday, crap day at work and cooked wholesome meals all week (mostly). That's why we pay extortionate electric for the freezer and oven
