What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Maggot]

Pea and chickpea risotto, with boursin instead of parmesan.

 

[Callie]

I had pollock with peas, green beans, sliced courgettes with oregano breadcrumbs and a parsley sauce.

Then a piece of hastily knocked out vanilla sponge, vanilla ice cream and some still warm raspberry and loganberry jam/coulis.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Richmond Irish sausages with spuds and veg.

 

[May Kasahara]

Out for dinner tonight, at the local Italian restaurant. They always give you loads so I am guaranteed to come back stuffed

 

[BoatieBird]

Thai fishcakes, wedges and salad

 

[sojourner]

Fella's making mushroom and cheese frittata, with paprika wedges and Romaine leaves dressed with EVOO/balsamic.

Posh choc and salted caramel cheesecake with fresh raspberries.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Richmond Irish sausages with spuds and veg.

Couldn't be arsed to cook in the end so I had chippy chips and a horse's willy.

And All.The.Vinegar by the look of it
Lush!

And All.The.Vinegar by the look of it
Lush!

Oh yeah, can't live without my vinegar. Mandatory!

If the vinegar fumes off a plate of chippy chips aren't making my eyes water then something has gone horribly wrong

When I was about eight or nine, my mum went through a phase of rationing my vinegar as it was giving me bad breath!

 

[Epona]

I don't have any cooking mojo tonight and am feeling uninspired, so I'm going to have a chicken and mushroom pot noodle just so I've had something.

I had mango, avocado, prawn and crab salad, followed by skate wing in brown butter and capers (with chips, because I'm greedy and uncultured ). It was fucking lush, and I am of course completely stuffed.

I don't have any cooking mojo tonight and am feeling uninspired, so I'm going to have a chicken and mushroom pot noodle just so I've had something.

I don't know what was up with this, pot noodles have got me through various periods of illness in terms of just getting something into me, and I'm generally a fan of instant noodles (whether in a packet or a pot) as a quick snack or lunch, but this one just smelled and tasted absolutely rank.
You know like when you go into an eatery and you can tell they've not changed the oil in the deep fat fryer for a while so you decide to eat somewhere else?
Like that.

Hope I'm not coming down with Covid

 

[Epona]

Really not feeling well now

 

[Epona]

OK apparently they changed the ingredients since I last ate one, I can't work out what the difference is because I can't find a list of the old ingredients (just various info stating it has changed), certain cereal products affect my digestive system in a very negative way as well as giving me headaches and joint pain (eg. last time I ate a bowl of muesli I was in upper digestive pain for several hours and felt unwell for the rest of the day, I am not sure whether it was the oats or the malted wheat flakes, I don't really get on with either) so I am going to assume it is that - and probably never eat one again.

 

[nottsgirl]

Wagamama last night. Good old Wagamama.

 

[dessiato]

I made a large bowl of salad.

I used a lot of chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, salted them and sprinkled them with dried garlic bits. After half an hour I combined the juices from the toms and cucumber with a lot of high quality olive oil to make a dressing for a ripped up iceberg. I added capers wrapped in brown anchovies. Tossed it all together and served with tiny Boston new potatoes, and tuna steak.

I've not done a salad for a while so to resurrect this, which was an almost daily meal in Spain, was a very welcome feast.

 

[sojourner]

Leek and cannellini bean gratin, mashed spuds, broccoli, peas, onion gravy.

Triple choc ice-cream with raspberries.

 

[May Kasahara]

Tonight I am making pizza

 

[mrsfran]

Takeaway, daughter's choice. I suspect she may choose Five Guys.

 

[newme]

Last night, stuffed myself.

Toasted Pita bread with 2x 1/4 pound burgers in them with cheese and a different sauces for each one then cut in half
Frozen double pepperoni pizza with added various salamis and garlic sauce
3/4 of a cheesecake
Cornetto or whatever lidls version is called.

 

[nottsgirl]

Spelt risotto.

 

[cesare]

Mooless pies (jackfruit) with broccoli, cauliflower and green beans - microwavable and some gravy. Easy stuff and quick.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Fennel, potato, apple, red onion. Secreto pork chop

 

[mrsfran]

Takeaway, daughter's choice. I suspect she may choose Five Guys.

I was wrong, she chose pan-Asian. She had fake duck rolls, egg fried rice and edamame, Santino had Penang curry and I had laksa. Good choice.

 

[Epona]

Had some bacon that needed to be either frozen or used, so decided on bacon, red pepper and peas with long grain rice, bit of chicken stock and saffron in there too, easy one pot food after last night's thankfully shortlived (and therefore almost certainly a food intolerance issue) digestive apocalypse

 

[Epona]

Ugh how are we out of both long grain and basmati at the same time?
Low effort tea turned into risotto faff due to rice situation

 

[Epona]

Surprise risotto was lush.
Bacon, onion, red pepper, peas, chilli flakes, garlic, arborio rice, white wine, chicken stock, pinch of saffron and of course bit of butter and parmesan beaten in at the end and finished off with some fresh oregano and basil from my windowsill garden and a bit of black pepper - om nom nom!

 

[nottsgirl]

Linguine with old seitan bolognese heated up hot and butter. It’s so nice to eat my own food again.
