What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Pickman's model]

Socca and sardine beignets followed by ice cream - tiramusu and fleurs d'orange

 

[20Bees]

Determined not to go to a shop before Tuesday (pension day).

Yellow-stickered cheese pasty from the freezer (actually from Morrison’s weeks ago), with home grown veg (minted potatoes, carrots and broccoli), home made pear chutney, then home grown raspberries with home made meringue and home made ice cream. Sugar but hey it’s Friday.

I love making a meal from the garden and although I am trying to resist getting poultry again, it was delightful when I had egg-layers right outside. For now I buy local eggs and honey, and appreciate Morrison’s reductions or Too Good To Go bags for most of the rest

 

[Epona]

Didn't have the energy to cook so had a beef and cucumber sarnie, with some of an extremely thick cut (doorstop) loaf of sliced white that I snagged off the reduced to clear (made garlic bread for the freezer with some of it) with butter and mustard.

Really looking forward to not being so achy (day out volunteering Friday, multiple bird surveys involving a LOT of walking!) on Saturday and feeling like doing some cooking and having a hot meal.

 

[Looby]

Blimey, I haven’t posted on this thread for ages. Think I’ve lost my food mojo a bit.

Tonight is some sort of tex mex thing, not sure what.

This did remind me to ask for a birria taco recipe though. I had this in a pub in Brighton and loved it. Anyone made them?

 

[shakespearegirl]

We went back to a South American Asian restaurant that we went to last year and swore we’d never go back as the chef was such an arse… it was fantastic food and they couldn’t have been nicer. Had seafood dim sum, pork belly and the most amazing Indonesian banana fritter desert

 

[shakespearegirl]

Tonight will be chicken schnitzel, mash and peas,but I’ve got to get off my arse and bake 2 batches of sausage rolls for a birthday beach picnic tomorrow first

 

[Epona]

Early tea tonight.

Cumberland sausages, skin on wedges, baked beans, mushrooms.

 

[Zorra]

After all the delicious spicy fun times I decided to have a jacket potato with cheese and pickle.
Pretty damn good!

 

[cesare]

Baked salmon curry with spiced cauliflower and saffron rice

 

[shakespearegirl]

The birthday girl is delighted with her gluten free sausage roll, the full gluten version look much better though

 

[iona]

Scampi supper and a pattie. Kind of annoyed I didn't go for white pudding, got a sudden craving for some and the shop didn't have any in.

 

[quiet guy]

Chicken Biryani with a side order of Aloo Gobi Saag from the ready meal section. Very tasty

 

[May Kasahara]

Chicken stew with dumplings.

 

[20Bees]

Excellent fish and chips sat outdoors after a gorgeous afternoon with the dogs on an empty Norfolk beach. Made blackberry and apple crumble when I got home,,having some with ice cream.

 

[RubyToogood]

Part 2 of the lasagne, some cauliflower and half a disappointing slice of chocolate cake.

 

[newme]

Pasty pie, pasties, veggie pasties, pasty stuff cooked without a.crust. all kinds. SO on a mission while I did the garden.

 

[Epona]

Pork loin steak, roast new potatoes, steamed broccoli, peas, fried mushrooms, gravy (or maybe a mushroom sauce if I have any cream left!)

 

[gentlegreen]

Anthocyanin stew.

 

[Zorra]

Brought my son a Karahi pan and a bunch of spice mixes etc from Pakistan and he made an amazing chicken liver achar ghosht and homemade roti. Delicious!

 

[RubyToogood]

Spaghetti pesto with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella.

 

[Serge Forward]

Chilli con beanie with brown rice.

 

[pinkmonkey]

A pulled pork thing from Lidl, I’m not using the bbq sauce that came with it and using honey and soy Instead. Having it with sweet pointed cabbage stir fried with onion, garlic and ginger in sesame oil and some steamed rice.

 

[newme]

Pasties again it seems, all the dried legumes took tòo long.

 

[Zorra]

Roast chicken, roast new potatoes, stuffing, beans and sweetcorn, gravy. Overdid picking at the delicious crispy chicken skin and now have to stay up a while to digest. Never learn

 

[RubyToogood]

I'm on annual leave and when I got home I was like fuck staying in so I went to the Vietnamese and had prawn wontons and a chicken, rice and salad thing. I'm now digesting in the pub with a book.

 

[Epona]

Kung Pao chicken for me, prawns for OH (both with cashews instead of peanuts).
Egg Fried Rice
Whatever I do with the mushrooms and broccoli that need using up - maybe just in with the main dishes, or maybe a side involving black bean sauce.

 

[mrsfran]

Had a notion to make a proper curry today. I made a paste from scratch, did a paneer and vegetable Kashmiri curry plus a nice dhal. There's loads leftover so that's lunch tomorrow too.

For the side involving mushrooms, broccoli, and black bean sauce - and as I had a small amount of dried wheat noodles to use (from the reduced to clear in Tian Tian) - I did this vegan version of a Korean-Chinese fusion recipe (using mushrooms, broc and green pepper as the veg part), and it was fucking lush - heartily recommend:

Vegan Jjajangmyeon (Noodles in Black Bean Sauce)

Vegan Jjajangmyeon, a Korean-Chinese fusion noodle dish, with a really thick black bean sauce with potatoes, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms.

Got two packets of pikelets to use today so probably those with cheese.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Fancy arse tapas last night for besties birthday. No idea tonight, meant to be leaving at 4am tomorrow to fly to London for a week and it’s all getting very stressy with storms, train and tube strikes and work people being idiots
