[farmerbarleymow]

Veg curry.

Veg curry.

That's what I've just had for lunch

 

[May Kasahara]

Roasting a chicken for tea today, with all the usual stuff to go with it. Orange and lemon cake for afters.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover Mexican bean soup with extra mature cheddar on toasted sourdough.

Last of the fruitcake with a decaff coffee. Possibly some dark mint Aero.

 

[iona]

Yellowstickered game pie from the butchers in town that does good pies. Probably can't be arsed to go out and pick any veg now it's dark

 

[Saffy]

I've banned roasts until Christmas again, so we're having cod in Parslay sauce, mashed potatoes and peas.

Warm chocolate pudding and custard for pudding.

 

[May Kasahara]

Saffy I do that too...think this might be our last one till Christmas Day.

The only issue is, it's one of not very many meals that everyone will eat without a fuss, so I often default out of tiredness or ennui.

The yearly roast embargo.

I know what you mean. It's one of the only meals we can all happily eat too. My boy has been making noises recently of going off them but he's got a job at Maccies and eating far too many fries and burgers. At least with a roast he gets veg.

 

[weltweit]

Either a piece of Haddock and veg, or a tagliatelli microwave meal with extra veg.

 

[Zorra]

Mmm pies

We had enchiladas: sauce is really simple to make, 3 tablespoons of oil and the same of flour, chilli, garlic powder,oregano, cinnamon and smoked paprika plus stock and tomato paste and a tsp of vinegar whisked in at the end.

For the filling I split a pack of mince and bulked it up with lentils (plus black beans for the enchiladas) and made a couple of portions of Bolognese as well.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Beef Singapore noodles ready meal from the Co-op. Can't be bothered cooking, I'm revising for an exam. Well, currently having a break, taking a bath.

FYI I made this suggestion over dinner and was met with great umbrage from the men

I love a roast dinner (although I tend to do more in the way of what I call mini-roasts involving a pork chop, rump steak, or chicken leg instead of a whole joint/bird since I'm the only one that eats those, OH is pescetarian, and he gets a tuna steak, bit of salmon, veggie sausages or veggie pie or stuffed pepper instead) and I actually ramp up the frequency towards Xmas because I start getting excited about Xmas dinner and want more roasts
Bugger, forgot to order sprouts, must remember next week.
I don't do all the trimmings every time, tend to alternate between stuffing balls and Yorkshires, and usually only 1 type of veg - I save all the faff of doing absolutely everything all at once til the day itself when we have guests to help eat it all - everyone bar me is pescetarian though so we have a side of salmon on Xmas day and I do meat for myself for round 2 on Boxing Day

 

[Numbers]

Had some baked chicken thighs and rice and peas earlier followed by a sleep, ice cream now.

Cor you certainly know how to do Sundays, sounds excellent!

Mrs Numbers seasoned them up (10 big
Chicken thighs for less than £5 from Sainsburys) Saturday morning and we oven’d them up today. I don’t normally like having a nod on a Sunday but after a late night last night it was lovely to eat, sleep and wake to a twinge for ice-cream.

Fancy some chips now tho’ but we have none in and no way am I taking my Oodie off to go get some so more ice-cream it is.

 

[Epona]

OH spent the day in Watford General getting checked out (chest infection with asthma/copd complications) and phoned in sick when he got home at around the same time he'd usually be getting up to go to his night shift, so we're having a very late tea tonight as he's still sleeping and really needs to rest.

I think I might go Greek style roast tonight because someone mentioned Greek potatoes a couple of days ago and that gave me a hankering!
So chicken thighs for me, stuffed pepper for OH, Greek roast potatoes, and I'll see what other veg we've got, leeks or carrots (or both) probably!

Edit: actually am in 2 minds, I might do the Greek food later in the week as I have some beef shin which would make a lovely stifado to go excellently with the Greek spuds. I might do a more traditional English mini-roast tonight and stifado/gemista with Greek spuds another day. Have to decide quickly though!

 

[Numbers]

Hope N is alright Epona mate.

 

[Epona]

Hope N is alright Epona mate.

Thanks, I'll pass on the good wishes when he wakes up!
We've both had a rough few weeks with colds then flu, I'm alright now but he's had this secondary infection for a while now, he's got a ton of pills (antibiotics for the infection, prednisolone for the asthma) and I hope they gave him a new inhaler too, plus 3 nights off to rest, hopefully that will give the infection a good kicking.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Early Nepalese followed by live comedy.. it’s very exciting for us, we’ve not been to a comedy gig in years

The food was delicious, the comedians so so, the audience was the funniest - full of absolutely shitfaced expats.. I’m an expat, I was tipsy, but there were people who had to be taken home at 730 they were so pissed

 

[mrsfran]

I'm in need of health, so I think a nice vegetable and pearly barley broth today.

 

[BoatieBird]

Smoked tofu traybake, although there's only 1 block of tofu and I'm not sure it's enough for 3 people so I might have to supplement it with some cubes of halloumi.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Leftover Greek pots (I’ve warned Mrshakes to keep his hands off what’s left after he scoffed most of them yesterday) beef stew, green bean and pine nut salad

 

[sojourner]

Tsebhi birsen, white basmati rice, a good dollop of Skyr.

Double chocolate muffins with bramble jelly melty middles and a decaff coffee.

 

[Saffy]

I've got some cod in parsley sauce left over, so that with baked potato and broccoli.
Lemon curd yoghurt for pudding for anyone that wants it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheese.

 

[Numbers]

Same as y/day, chicken and rice and peas.

No ice-cream tho’

 

[cesare]

Last night it was beef and black eyed bean stew with dumplings.

Tonight was pork chop with gravy, roasties, yorkies, cauliflower and broccoli

 

[May Kasahara]

Fresh penne with a tomato/chorizo sauce.

 

[Zorra]

Burgers! First time in ages with alllll the 'choose your own adventure' accompaniments plus, chips, beanz and salad in any order.
