What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[UnderOpenSky]

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.

Sorry. That was assine. I know paying over double is silly for a lot of people. Fair play to you for feeding your family well when you've been struggling.

My neighbour has just invited me for salmon teriyaki. He's got a subscription to a sachets of spices company.

 

[UrbaneFox]

I'd go rigatoni with that sauce.

I would have gone for spirals, so the walnuts have somewhere to nestle.

Assuming they were chopped into small bits, that is.

Nestling walnuts. I love that sound and image. Wonder if I could somehow wedge it into a poem?

 

[dessiato]

Tonight my wife made fideous al marisco. It's the first time I've had this since I worked in a hospital in Jerez, 10 years ago. My first mouthful took me straight back there. It was a perfect evocation of that time. I absolutely loved it, she'd got it perfectly right. Damn, I love that woman!

ps, I've also had some (a lot) of gin Sevilla orange, as per living in Puente Genil, a Spanish night!

 

[quiet guy]

Steak and kidney pie with potatoes, carrot, cabbage and brocolli with lashings of gravy.

 

[nottsgirl]

Some aubergine, orzo, tomato thing. It looks nice.

 

[sojourner]

Spaghetti tossed in EVOO/ red and green chillis/garlic, with black olives, sundried toms (fucking price of these now!!) lathered in parmesan.

Fella's baking a fruitcake today, so a slab of that with olive spread and a decaff coffee.

 

[Epona]

I think I'm going to make a Bolognese sauce.

 

[shakespearegirl]

In Marseille, going for Lebanese food - mainly due to vegan husband - if it was up to my sister and I we’d be be meat feasting

OMG it was fantastic!

 

[Ted Bunting]

A steamed plate of Humbertos and way spicier than his weird, cryptic insults

 

[Orang Utan]

What animals do those ringpieces belong to?

You are here less than a week.

 

[sojourner]

Got a fuckton of mushrooms from Lidl this morning cos craving them - so it's a mushroom and cheese homelette plus wedges and salad tonight.

Fruitcake and a decaff coffee, and perhaps a smidge of almond and orange dark choccy too, as it's Friday.

 

[Epona]

Bolognese round 2, thinking I'll turn it into a pasta bake which is rarely a bad idea with pasta leftovers - 2 different meals from the same batch

 

[Numbers]

Fish finger and salad wraps for us, is/was the agreed plan.

But it’s Friday and Mrs Numbers has been out all day with her sister down Bluewater so there’s a chance she may have stopped off in M&S.

Mandem happy either way.

 

[mrsfran]

Daughter has gone to a sleepover so we're having MEAT. Slow-cooked beef in black bean sauce, with egg fried rice.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I made some oven-baked onion bhajis for family gathering tomorrow.

 

[RubyToogood]

Orange (and black) freezer tea of quinoa and sweet potato burger in brioche bun with pickles and sweet potato fries.

The burger looked unpromising, had probably been in the freezer too long, and the whole thing was in the oven too long. Particularly annoying when your unhealthy meals aren't even tasty.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Potato croquettes and a surprisingly delicious black rice and asparagus risotto

 

[May Kasahara]

Last night I had an amazing home made pizza, which was the ideal thing to scoff after having a few drinks. Tonight I feel like making something fancy (not Michelin starred fancy or anything, just something that requires more time and effort than I generally have available on weekdays) but don't know what as yet.

 

[sojourner]

Got a load of discounted baby plum toms and salad toms just over-ripening, so gonna roast them, then make an arrabiatta sauce. Black olives, wholewheat penne, smidge of cheese.

Fruitcake and a decaff coffee. Will not be inhaling an entire bar of sea salty dark choc (again)

Lasagna!

 

[May Kasahara]

Steady on, I'm not that motivated

 

[May Kasahara]

Or am I

 

[BoatieBird]

Lasagna!

That's what we're having tonight!

 

[sojourner]

Wholewheat fusilli in an arrabiatta sauce, made from fresh roasted baby plum and salad tomatoes. They were in a Lidl veg box last week and about to go too ripe. Will bung some black olives in, and have a smidge of grated extra mature cheddar onto.

 

[nottsgirl]

I was looking forward to fennel, squash and potato bake from the freezer but when I opened it I found it something I made that looks similar that I made about 8 portions of which wasn’t very nice, so I’m just having chips with mayo and ketchup.
