What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[mrsfran]

Yesterday we had mackerel fillets, boiled potatoes and green beans.

Today was potato and pea curry, dhal (from a packet), rice and naan.

 

[sojourner]

Leek and cannellini bean gratin, carrot batons, crispy sautéed garlicky potatoes.

More fit fruit loaf with a brew.

 

[BoatieBird]

Thai style prawn burgers (M&S haggle shelf), rice and some sort of vegetable side dish - maybe garlicy green beans.

 

[rubbershoes]

Had pizzas yesterday

I think the bases were my thinnest yet

 

[pinkmonkey]

risotto, because it's risotto weather!

 

[Saffy]

Chicken pie with savoy cabbage, carrots and gravy. I'll see how big the pie turns out as to whether I add mashed potatoes or not.
Fake snickers ice cream for pudding if it's needed.

 

[mrsfran]

Quorn/chicken chow mein, miso aubergine.

 

[iona]

Found a knackered old le creuset casserole dish and a big bag of coal in one of the barns, so I've lit the stove early and put some potatoes in the pot to bake on top. Might just have them with butter and houmous, and salad on the side.

 

[Numbers]

Bangers and Mash again, y/day we had Cumberlands and today the Heck Chicken Italia ones.

Mash is sweet potatoe made with hummus.

 

[cesare]

Hunter's chicken with cous cous

 

[Rebelda]

Sausage stew with rice. Ben and Jerry's after.

I am also having Ben & Jerry's. I've discovered the Netflix & Chill'd flavour - peanut butter ice cream, salty pretzels and brownie bits and I'm mildly obsessed. It's the saltyness.

 

[quiet guy]

Due to the wet weather tonight's offering is cupboard goods and the last bits of veg.in the fridge. So a tin of stewed steak, potatoes, cabbage and peas

I have to have the dairy free ones. There's a chocolate one with salty bits in that is lush. There's also a new coffee flavour one, that is the holy grail (I like coffee flavour things and they have been slowly disappearing my whole life) but it's got all this whipped nonsense on top instead of just a solid tub of ice cream

I LOVE peanut butter but don't like pnb ice cream.

 

[Zorra]

Damn now I want pie.

We ate the curry my son and I prepared on Sunday but it was a bit meh, all the more annoying because it was our first tamarind curry. Nice enough though!

I actually got the vegan version, it was good.

 

[Epona]

Last night I had rice with bacon, garlic, peas, chilli and herbs in, very low effort and actually less effort than prepping spuds and cooking a frozen pie.

Tonight I feel worse so I've had a chocolate orange doughnut (not sure if my taste buds have been affected but it just tasted really sweet and sickly) and pack of salt n shake crisps which were required to counteract the doughnut.

Hope I have a bit more energy and appetite tomorrow.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Chippy tea if my partners godson/cousin arrives in time, chippies keep minimal/sporadic hours up here in Yorks. If he doesn’t get here intime we’ll get a Thai from the pub.

 

[sojourner]

Hope you're feeling better very soon Epona

 

[sojourner]

Caramelised red onion/pea/feta frittata, wedges, green Romaine with balsamic dressing.

Frooooot caaaake.

 

[mrsfran]

Fancy a nice burger this evening - with lettuce, tomato etc, the works. And chips.

Maybe a venison burger, I like those.

 

[seeformiles]

Got a whole duck half price yesterday so did crispy aromatic duck. Boiled up the carcass today and have made spicy Thai style duck broth with noodles garnished with home grown Thai basil and crushed peanuts

 

[May Kasahara]

Taco Friday! Pulled pork for us, steak for the kids.

 

[Zorra]

Lidl pizzas and some buffalo wings done in the oven whilst we watched tv. Knackered!

 

[Biddlybee]

Pasta for them, veg chilli stir fry with garlic rice for me. Warm almondy cake for pudding.

 

[Epona]

Still ill.
I went out to buy some soup, when I got back I asked OH if he wanted to split a tin of lentil soup with me, he said "only if you heat it and butter bread for me, I like 3 or 4 slices, I don't have time I have to shave for work"
I said that I was ill and didn't have the energy and went to prop myself up on the sofa in front of the TV.
15 minutes later he comes in with a massive plate of 3 jacket potatoes with butter, baked beans and cheese.
I asked him if I could have some and he screamed at me "I'M HUNGRY" (because it is always framed as being my fault if he's not had anything to eat) and ate the whole lot in front of me.
I'd not had hot food in 2 days at that point, if I'd had the energy he'd have ended up fucking wearing it.

After he'd left I managed to nuke some Heinz ravioli in tomato sauce so I have eaten now, but I am still fucking fuming.
You all know from my posts how much effort I put in to make sure he has nice meals on a more or less daily basis (he says "it wouldn't be so much effort if you didn't make a different meal for yourself" - er no, if I'm cooking then it's you I'm making a different meal for if you don't want what I am having myself), but because I haven't for a couple of days he blames me if he hasn't eaten, and acts like a prick if I ask him to do something for me in return when I am ill.

Rant over.

That‘s entirely out of order Epona

I had stir fry.

Recipes always emphasise how quick and fast it is to prepare and cook a stir fry.

By the time I’ve chopped everything, put it all into neat little piles and dishes in the order I want to cook it, mixed the sauce, lined up the oils and unguents, prepared the rice or noodles, it is categorically not a quick meal.

The stir frying is fast, so fast it can feel like a race.


It was good though.

I keep thinking about this Epona

The idea of cooking and then eating in front of someone who’s not eaten, and who needs to eat, strikes me as cruel. I really hope he realises his mistake and apologises and does better next time.

He won't. As far as he is concerned I am in the wrong.
