What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[LeytonCatLady]

Roast chicken.

 

[sojourner]

Friday night tea of paprika wedges, mozzarella cheeseburgers, Romaine leaves and pickled jalapeno. Nom!

Fruitycake and a brew.

 

[nottsgirl]

Beef stroganoff and rice cooker rice.

 

[dessiato]

Fried chicken with a salad. We will probably have crushed new baby potatoes seasoned with smoked salt and olive oil.

 

[May Kasahara]

PIZZA

 

[RubyToogood]

Carrot and veggie mince lasagne. Medley of seasonal garden berries with Greek yoghurt (there are wild strawberries, raspberries and mulberries but not many of any of them).

I think geminisnake originally sent me the wild strawberry plants.

 

[Epona]

I am currently deciding between making a curry, or having a Bird's Eye crispy tempura chicken fillet with steak cut chips and peas (all from the freezer)

EDIT: bloody chicken is off before the use by date
I kind of felt like cooking, the bacon is fine so I'm leaning towards amatriciana, although there is still the option of orange freezer food as a plan B

 

[Saffy]

I had a baked potato topped with mackerel in spicy tomato sauce and a big salad.

My husband went on a jolly with work where he snaffled loads of bags of Candy Kittens. So we're sharing those for pudding.

 

[kalidarkone]

Baked sweet potato and baked parmigiano and herb crusted salmon with beetroot and baby leaf salad.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Sausage pasta recipe

Simple suppers don't get much better than this easy sausage pasta with, sweet peppers and tasty Italian sausages. A midweek favourite.

www.bbc.co.uk

This, which hardly needs a recipe, but I spotted and it looked good, so...

I even had wholewheat pasta which I haven't had since the 1980s, which was also v nice, small spirals made by Mr Organic

 

[nottsgirl]

Potato curry if I can find a nice recipe that I’ve got the ingredients for since I remembered the one I was going to make, I’ve made before and it’s not amazing.

Chinese pickled spicy vegetables to start, green tea mochi for afters.

 

[Orang Utan]

lamb n beans with half a massive baked potato

 

[sojourner]

Chana dal, brown rice, aubergine pickle, Skyr.

Fruitcake and a decaff coffee.

 

[Epona]

I went to Wendy's after I'd finished my undies shopping because I needed a treat after the stress of Westfield on a Saturday afternoon (what was I thinking?)
Had a cheeseburger with an extra patty.
Might have some chocolate or wine gums later.

I used to like Wendy's square burgers on Shaftesbury Avenue. I heard they were coming back. Is it the same Wendy?

It is indeed, the one in Stratford has been there for a while now - at least 2 years, maybe more.
McDonalds which is a few doors down was rammed and had a massive queue for the ordering screens and a lot of people waiting for their food, but Wendy's was empty, not sure why because Wendy's burgers are comparable, their fries are way way better (skin on), you can easily customise your burgers, they also have options like jacket spuds with toppings as an alternative to fries - and there's apparently no queue and service is good.

Makes me wonder how long they will stay open in that location

 

[shakespearegirl]

we are entering salad weather, we made big salads and use them up/ bulk them out over a few days.

Yesterday I did a big tray of chilli, ginger roast toms. MrShakes did couscous and a carrot mush salad. Chicken schnitzel for m# and aubergine ones for him. I did roast peaches as well.

Temperature has dipped so I’m doing roast pots, parsnips and sweet pots. Pea and broad bean salad. Crispy pork belly strips.

we are entering salad weather

I've forgotten what that feels like, I'm planning a warming comfort food lentil cottage pie for early next week

 

[May Kasahara]

Chicken tikka skewers, beetroot and coconut curry, rice. Maybe some other stuff depending on levels of arsedness.

 

[BoatieBird]

Garlic and herb roast chicken, paprika roast potatoes, coleslaw and green salad.

 

[Saffy]

I seem to have many heads of broccoli. So I'm going to make a cheese pasta broccoli bake. We'll have peas and carrots with it.

For pudding I've got some of my Mum's flapjack. She makes it for every occasion when we have a get together. So it's either called celebration flapjack or festive flapjack.
This batch has raisins and walnuts in and it's topped with melted dairy milk chocolate.

 

[nottsgirl]

Cold leftover potato curry. At least there will be very little washing up and no cooking to do even if it wasn’t the tastiest.

 

[Orang Utan]

roasted asparagus with sprinkled with fried flake almonds, fried mini capers, brown butter and dill
minced lamb wirh garlic, chilli and egg

 

[nottsgirl]

Can you freeze cooked potatoes? I’m not sure I can do two more days of this curry.

Yes you can.

 

[mrsfran]

Chicken and pearl barley stew, mash and the last of the home-grown asparagus.

They're excellent for making roasties - just pop them straight from the freezer into your roasting tin of hot oil and cook til they're golden and crispy on the outside
Or if they're already in the curry you can still freeze it - the spuds might lose a little structural integrity when reheated in a sauce, but you've still got a handy meal in the freezer for emergencies.

I’ve frozen them which is good because a) I won’t have to eat the curry for days on end and b) I’m going away soon and have too much food to eat up.

 

[Epona]

Quick early tea for us - spaghetti with cream cheese and sundried tomato pesto out of a jar.
Not particularly exciting, but tasty enough and very quick to make.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Some pork tenderloins with zaatar on, cannoli beans with tahini and bulgar wheat.
