What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Badgers]

Baked spud with leftover veggie chilli + cheese.

And probably mayo </ducks>

 

[Badgers]

Minted peas are an abomination and should be fucking banned

^ this, whoever came up with it? FFS leave the peas alone!

I like minted peas

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Pea and tarragon soup (if it's defrosted in time!) with grapefruit segments to follow

 

[TitanSound]

but not with fish and chips. lamb, yeah.

You're not the boss of me.

 

[wtfftw]

You're not the boss of me.

Yeah I am.

 

[BoatieBird]

woohoo - sausages tonight.
I've fancied sausages since Monday and tonight we have a sausage/bean/tomato/red wine combo which is bubbling away in the slow cooker at home.

Yes but everyone knows you're a wrong un

Vension Pie: http://www.gametoeat.co.uk/recipes-for-venison/gamekeepers-pie

(yes, yes, I know, the CA are evil)

EDIT: Actually I think I am going to modify the recipe. Cooking the venison separate and then draining the fat seems a bit mad considering how little fat venison has. Could really dry it out. Though I guess that is what the liquid is for.

Chicken thigh and chorizo stew came out really nice. I also added butter beans and peppers, fried the peppers in the oil from the pan that I used to seal the chicken and added a drizzle of it into the main stew pot. Really tasty flavours and enough leftovers for my lunch today

I'm going to a friends for dinner tonight, I don't know what we're having yet. He's an amazing cook so I'm quite excite!

 

[crustychick]

Poor you. We managed to get rid of ours but it's given me a lifelong horror - have to check rice etc every single time I use it now.

Well, I have about 10 fishfingers left to eat, so if I can face them, it's those with some lemon and coriander couscous, and if my tomatoes didn't blow off the fucking plants last night, a few of them mixed in a salady type thing with chopped red onion.

do moths like to live in lentils too? i'm so gutted at having to throw away so many packets of rice I might actually cry chucking all the lentils too!

if they don't anyway, tonight will be sausage and lentil stew - with baked tatties.

 

[Orang Utan]

The bastards can live in just about any dried foodstuff. Can't remember them getting into lentils but wouldn't be surprised. A year on from getting rid of our infestation we still get one turn up every now and then.

Ones of my housemates turns into some kind of homicidal maniac when she spots one

"NONE SHALL BE SPARED!!!!"

The little shites live in everything like that - flour, pasta, lentils, the fucking lot. We got an infestation just as we were totally skint. Now THAT'S heartbreaking for you, I was literally on the verge of tears. All the stuff had manky shit in it.

The absolute bastard of it is, is that we all have great stock cupboards, so it's not just a packet of rice, it's packets of arborio, basmati, short grain long grain, then 5 different types of pasta, 2 types of lentils, 2 types of flour etc. All the things you keep in the cupboard so you have the potential for loads of meals.

When I had moths I stuck what I could in the freezer to kill stuff and then sifted it. /classy Obvs not with anything other than flour.

Really? But can you even see the eggs sometimes? I wouldn't trust that method, gotta say, although...given the state of our finances at the mo (worse than before) I'd actually consider that.

I was under the impression freezing killed them and so I told myself it was all fine. Didn't actually see any eggs, so yeah, they're probably miniscule. I did stick the defrosted flour in air tight containers. just in case.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Yeah, I just sifted the flour when it happened to me, too, wufts!

'Ah, it's just a bit more *protein* eh? *dismissive wave of the hand* '

 

[sheothebudworths]

Tbf, maybe it KILLS SMALL CHILDREN and that, I dunno (but mine lived anyway )!

Also, obviously a bit harder to sift rice or lentils.

Yeahhhh. Probably. Would need a fucking sifter or whatever they're called n all

 

[Orang Utan]

i've had weevily biscuits and bread and i'm fine

 

[Orang Utan]

a sieve wouldn't separate eggs, they're too small

 

[sheothebudworths]

The eggs would go through the sieve? You reckon?

 

[sojourner]

*cough*

 

[Orang Utan]

of course! they'd be invisible or almost invisible surely? i don't think it matters though, i don't think they're poisonous or diseased.
i've found moths in food before. it didn't occur to me to chuck the food out or even sieve it to be honest (i just assumed they were lost clothes moths cos they look just like them)
i would chuck out weevilly flour though for some reason. it's a bit horrible looking at flour and seeing things jumping in it.

 

[wtfftw]

Honestly. I've got a brain like a sieve today*. I just got very confused as to why one would be separating the yolk from the white using a sieve.

*sorry!

They don't look the same - look them up online, and you'll see the difference. They have kinda stubby back wings, are smaller, and the colouring is mottled and yellower than usual moths

I didn't think that at all.

oh, the ones i've seen look similar, but can't say i paid too close attention

Similar, yes, but when you become fucking OBSESSED about the BASTARDS, you soon learn to recognise the difference.
