What's for tea tonight? (#8)
- Thread starter aqua
- Start date
Cor, that all sounds well fit!3 bean chilli, guacamole, sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips. I will forgo rice in favour of toppings.
I made a malt loaf last week and it's super sticky now. So a slice of that with a cuppa for pudding.

Wholemeal fusilli with smoked salmon, mascarpone, spring greens and garlic. Fuckton of parmesan.
Yesterday was just a couple of hot cross buns, one with cheese, due to pub roast earlier.

Well, I can report that making a risotto with rose sadly does not lead to a pink hue. Made it with baby leeks and mushrooms, with chard on the side.
I'm actually wondering with all that butter and cheese if I can actually get away without wine?

Fucked if I know, I was encouraged to bung the pork shoulder on earlier on the basis we would then do a joint effort on a massive roast but SO ate some pork and went to sleep. Now I have 8kg of vegetables to prep and no one to help despite that being the plan, me wanting to start earlier and being told leave it later then them taking up all the time watching stuff I was at most mildly interested in. Kinda annoyed. Could have prepped all that and watched whatever instead and now its either on me or its nothing. Plus my laptop is being an arsehole with graphics modes.

I'm rapidly deciding that linguine is superior for everything than spaghetti.

Price, thats where spaghetti wins. Otherwise yeh basically anything else I found, even the bronze extruder is not enough and that costs more.

pasta with Gorgonzola, walnut, spinach, cream and bacon. can't decide between ribbons or tubes for the pasta. penne, rigatoni, tagliatelle or papardelle? the choice is crippling me!

Sunday - early tea/late lunch of pub roast (beef, pig in blanket, Yorkshire, carrots, parsnips, red cabbage, kale, potatoes). Late tea when I got in of a corned beef sarnie on white bread with butter and mustard.
Monday - Thai fakaway fare - chicken and cashew for me, prawn and squid for N, with peppers, onions and a sauce involving Thai basil. With fried rice.
Tonight - N back at work so I'm just doing for myself (he had a frozen Lidl pizza before work - spinach, ricotta and mushroom, apparently very nice). I'm defrosting a pork loin steak so I'll be having that with potatoes of some sort, fried mushrooms, peas, and I'll see what else needs using up.

great minds… that’s what I went with in the end. Esp cos I also added peas, and IME, it’s difficult to mix that sort of gunky sauce with ribbons - you end up with most of it at the bottom of the pan no matter how much you try to combine it all.
This again, but I've bunged some spinach in this morning to take on the flavours, plus we have a naan bread int freezer for a quick tea after our collective teatime haircuts.
It's the last of the lemony cake though, nooooo!

Burgers here.
I had 2 ordinary freezer beef burgers with cheddar melted on top in a bun with fried onions, mushrooms, mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard. N had Plant Revolution Spicy Beanburgers topped with smoked cheese slices, bun, various condiments.
Both had battered onion rings and skin-on fries from the freezer to go with.
There is now some space in the freezer.

I mean it's not a big win but I got used to checking every penny when benefits needed to cover me, or when it had to cover 2 adults and 3 kids lol. 4x the price was a big deal then and every time I get a new job I restock the family sized version of the "oh shit" cupboard I had at 20 odd. Now it's 10kg rice, 10kg pasta and a shit load of canned veg, frozen stuff, spices and toiletries/cleaning stuff. Then it was 1kg spag/penne and a load of tomatoes/dried beans and then walking a few miles to the supermarket cheapest for onions and dried herbs as needed.
Love getting something basic and elevating it. Those went from cheaper things to something some pub would charge £15 for minimum, probably a lot more in London.
I do a stuffed bread / horrendously bastardised piadina (since its 3 inches thick) stuffed with whatever people fancy. Costs barely anything and tastes amazing done on a big cast iron. Like a triple thick pizza sandwich the same width with ham, cheese, chives etc, or subbing corned beef, whatever is leftover etc. Maybe a fiver tops for 4 big enough to make a hungry teenager not even finish his and I struggled when I was actually at the gym 7 times a week.
