What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sim667]

Oooh...... good idea, I know they sell ciabatta, rocket and steak in the garagey shop thing near me....

Mushrooms can fuck off though.

I also need avocado.... I need avocado!

 

[wtfftw]

I dunno what's for dinner. The chef hasn't told me what meat to get out of the freezer. I'm not going off piste.

 

[wtfftw]

Meanwhile. what do I do with a heap of beetroot - I'm failing at the whole cooking then rubbing off the skins thing. It's all too much effort. Can I just have toast and battlestar galactica please? and now I also have far too much baby spinach. /notdinner

Pickling, beetroot soup. Roast beetroot (I don't like that though).

Rubbing the skins off is easy? And I'm the first to admit that I'm a lazy cook.

yeah well I'm lazier.

I've been meaning to make beetroot soup for yonks

Maybe I need to get in some pastry and make several tart/flan/pie things.

 

[sojourner]

Defrosted portion of chicken and chorizo stew for moi, defrosted portion of 3 bean chilli for mister

 

[tarannau]

I'm sure I've seen that in Foyles, worth a punt then?

Yep. It's overtly American, a bit spoddy and focused a bit too much on US varieties of chilli (plenty on Numex strains for example), but by gum it's a polished, authoritative tome. Highly detailed, useful sections on plant care and chilli history, plus a goodly number of decent, useful recipes and helpful preservation hints.

I bought it that and Dave Floyd's UK book (more relevant chilli guide to UK strains perhaps, but lighter and with a tacked on recipe section of dubious use) for about £20 all in from Amazon if that's any help. It's a good read really - if you've any love of chillis there's a good chance you'll find more than a little to interest you

 

[foamy]

a goats cheese and red onion stromboli courtesy of the tramps buffet served with a rocket salad.

 

[moose]

Mushroom and spinach lasagne, which has inexplicably blown up like a balloon in the oven

 

[Corax]

Smoke river cobbler, jacket potato (with plenty of butter of course), steamfresh veg with a blob of mayo. Simple but satisfying.

Just got to wait another hour or so for the potato.

 

[8115]

I really don't like river cobbler, my sister's dead keen on it though.

 

[strung out]

i've got a couple of jacket potatoes in the oven. cheese and beans the likely fillings

 

[aqua]

a really rubbish stir fry thing to use up some veg - I don't know why I do it though cos I never enjoy it still, the MASSIVE glass of wine I'm about to pour myself will make up for it

 

[moonsi til]

Went out for a tasty Indian and for 3 in a BYOB place it was £20. We had pompadoms & the stuffles, rice, garlic naan, paneer masala, veggie dupizia & a mushroom dish. Plus wine & wine.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Taking the kids out for post-firstweekbackatschool/pre-dinner posh french cakes, then dropping them with their dad and back home for my ACTUAL dinner which will most prob be more of my USING UP GARDEN COURGETTES bulghur jobby, with king prawns, yellow pepper, mushrooms etc.

 

[sojourner]

LG sauce (can't remember which one now - think it's roasted garlic) with pasta, black olives, and parmesan

Cheers t, might have to get that.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Pea and Tarragon Soup (already made and in the fridge) with bread rolls and a salad of beetroot, radish,walnuts and a bit of cheese (i.e. stuff that needs eating up!)

 

[ringo]

Big curry delivery and the booze.

 

[moonsi til]

I have no idea...but it's likely that I will still be in the pub so prob a cheese & onion cob & homemade chips for the bargain price of £1.75!!!

 

[krtek a houby]

Something Korean. Sister over for weekend, fancy restaurant.

 

[BoatieBird]

steak and pepper fajitas and a glass or two of wine

 

[wayward bob]

skirting around the ducks tongues and pig maw at the good chinese to find something the kids will eat tonight

have come up with: pork in peking sauce, lamb with cumin, chinese broccoli in oyster sauce, rice, veg chow mein and fried dumplings fingers crossed

 

[Orang Utan]

something with chicken legs, mushrooms and onions. and maybe potatoes.

 

[foamy]

Chicken kievs, new potatoes, green beans = lazy dinner.

 

[aqua]

pasta with a chilli/tomato/veg sauce (using veg up) with lashings of parmesan and garlic

rather looking forward to it tbh

 

[Addy]

Chappati's with saag aloo, bombay potatoes, onion bhaji's, chicken satay skewers and onion rings

 

[Espresso]

Chilli, which is gently bubbling away in the kitchen and smelling great.

 

[colacubes]

Quick tortelloni (Lidl's finest ) with LG tomato and chilli sauce and parmesan. Filling stodge before a night of drinking and dancing.

 

[moonsi til]

last night ended up being 4 pints of Thatchers Gold cider* & chips & cheese cob plus a Boost bar with a mug of cammomile tea.

Tonight it's the dizzy heights of a Weightwatchers pasta dish & a salad from Subway. I'm at work and of late have been too busy too shop/cook plus freezer requires a good de-frosting.

* this drinking water malarky really does help. I had 3 pints in the pub plus a big glass with berocca at home. I have been at work since 7.45am & won't leave till around 9pm.
