What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[shakespearegirl]

The turkey schnitzel I was going to make on Saturday

 

[Zorra]

Roast chicken, spring greens / beans / creamed spinach, moreish duck fat roasted potatoes, gravy. Planned for last night but didn't get the chicken on in time so swapped the planned teas and had a rather splendid fish pie instead. It was a Nigel Slater recipe where you put the uncooked fish pieces, dill, peas and whatnot into the dish then pour over a carton of cream then mash on top. Not exactly healthy but so much easier than poaching the fish, making a bechamel blah. Like a lazy but fancy tea!

 

[mrsfran]

Massive jacket potatoes - beans then cheese for daughter, tuna mayo and cheese for adults.

 

[May Kasahara]

Squiggly pasta with spinach, tomatoes and feta. Really delicious, simple but tasty and comforting.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Lentils and cabbage with some cold chicken wings.

Quite chuffed with the lentils. Trying to cook with less onions, but also meant I didn't have to fry anything so less oil, but they were still very tasty. I'll worry about my salt levels another time.

 

[Saffy]

I did piri piri chicken in a magi bag, potato wedges, homemade coleslaw and macho peas and some bonus halloumi which I found at the back of the fridge.

 

[BoatieBird]

Halloumi traybake with couscous

 

[iona]

Smoked fish pie and unidentifiable hybrid brassica

 

[mrsfran]

Papa John's pizza provided by work. Meh but free.

 

[Zorra]

Squiggly pasta with spinach, tomatoes and feta. Really delicious, simple but tasty and comforting.

Loving especially for the word squiggly.

 

[Zorra]

All the random leftovers from the fridge in another choose your own adventure.

 

[newme]

Gradually working through all the frozen meals I made. The pasta dishes are going quickly which is annoying cos I wanted at least some lol and there's way more curries and chillies. At least it means it's real food getting eaten not the eldest just making hot meat in bread I guess.

 

[cesare]

Last night we had a couple of Co-op pizzas with coleslaw. They were the wood-fired ones, very good.

Tonight is lasagne, salad and sweet potato fries. Normal Wednesday night.

I also got some mince pies from the Co-op and had one last night, I expect I shall have another tonight. Not bad and good value.

 

[iona]

Red Leicester, roasted garlic and black pepper bake thing that I mostly bought because the dish would make a good hedgehog bowl - in hindsight I could've gone to restart or a charity shop and got one just as good for about 50p - with a small confit garlic sourdough baguette and smug homegrown tomatoes and salad

Meant to have scrambled eggs before I went out this morning but didn't have time, so I might do those as a first, early tea

 

[newme]

Got a few big packs of new recipe kit things (like 30) so having Gong Bao Chicken and Jeera chicken tonight. Got 2kg of chicken thighs now skinned, deboned and marinating. SO prepped all the other bits as it took a while but I'm not paying for boneless when we can make way more and I can learn to do it better. Plus I got to use the big cleaver and the boning knife, bones and scraps for a future stock, chicken skin being done in the air frier to go on the side for some crunch.

 

[mrsfran]

Two soups! Cream of mushroom for me and daughter, lentil for Santino, both home made.

 

[May Kasahara]

Very Victoria Wood mrsfran

I think we're having chicken wraps tonight, Mr K is doing.

 

[redcogs]

undecided yet but im warming to the notion of fried egg butties with salt and pepper. maybe open a can of chopped toms just for the adventure.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Going to a friends for dinner, so a surprise. Likely to be curry based, almost certainly for MrShakes..

 

[mrsfran]

Do you guys reckon it's alright to put a creamy soup in a flask? I've made a cream of mushroom soup - if I put it in a thermos flask for lunch tomorrow might it curdle/split at being kept hot for a few hours?

I reckon it will be fine.

 

[Epona]

I've been ill with yet another bloody respiratory virus and don't have a lot of appetite/energy to cook.
Last night I had a tin of Heinz spaghetti bolognese.
OH has just got home from work and is currently doing us both eggs and beans on toast, just a small portion for me cos it's all I can manage.
Not sure whether that counts as tea or breakfast due to wonky schedules

It was delicious lamb curry last night

 

[BoatieBird]

I hope you're feeling better soon Epona

I'm working from home today so I will take advantage of that and do a chicken and chickpea curry in the slow cooker.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Turkey schnitzel (3rd attempt to actually cook this), smashed new potatoes and coleslaw

 

[sojourner]

Yeh, hope you're on the up soon Epona .

I'm on me ownio again tonight as himself is off doing a winter tour. Carrot and lentil soup with fresh parsley, homebaked crusty white bread.

Homemade apple crumble with bought custard. I tried making my own custard, it takes forfuckingever and I have egg whites doing shit all in the freezer.

 

[Biddlybee]

Spaghetti three ways, pesto, butter and marmite. Veg on the side.

 

[RubyToogood]

Baked spud with cheese, casseroled carrots, onions and tromboncino.

I'm so happy it's baked potato weather. It's just the perfect meal.

Sorry to hear this - hope you get better soon - chilli and garlic help (me, anyway) if you have the energy!
