What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[newme]

Seems to be spag bol, which is downplaying it since SO has been working on the sauce for hours.
Now looks like tomorrow will be a pasty (£2 for a large at the shop so grabbed one each) and two steaks cos they both need using up

 

[May Kasahara]

Looby I feel just the same but for some fucking stupid reason am going to the gym instead of lying on the sofa drinking wine as I would like

Breaded fish and chips when I get back.

 

[Orang Utan]

A lie down

Still fatigued? Could you get a meal delivered so you have something to eat, or something simple like a sarnie or salad?
Hope you are on the way to full recovery soon.

Aye, my dear pa fed me spaghetti carbonara in the end. Had to sit up to eat it, mind.
Been told to chill the fuck out for a month, on doctor’s orders, so will hopefully be on the mend soon enough

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Fish with spuds and veg.

Get better soon orang utan!

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Aduck chips and peas.

 

[BoatieBird]

I've got some beef mince that needs using so it's either going to be spag bol or chilli, I think I'm leaning towards chilli atm.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Am still in the pub listening to a cunt that its all starmers fault not the tory bastards lol .

 

[Numbers]

Jerk chicken, rice an pea, beetroot kimchi (first time ever).

 

[Epona]

The beef stew that I was intending to do last night except my bit of beef shin from the freezer was really thick and took an age to defrost so I didn't have time to cook it.
It's on now so will be having that later.

Shin is my favourite cut for a nice rich beef stew, enjoy.

Yeah mine too, it all melts down into utter lushness - by the time it had defrosted last night I didn't have time to do it justice.
It's on a low heat tonight, several hours, with onion and carrots and a bit of a tin of tomatoes and some red wine and herbs.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Nepalese, might go momo soup

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Chicken parmo chips lettuce tomato and a breadbun . When i eventually get to use the fucking oven.

 

[Epona]

I have round 2 of last nights' beef stew.
Also N alerted me to the fact that he bought a baguette this morning on his way home and there's a lot of it left so I think a bit of that with some butter will go perfectly with the stew.
Might do myself some more cabbage too, I do love a bit of cabbage.

 

[mrsfran]

A Subway sandwich eaten on the train to Reading while taking a sulky teenager to a Taylor Swift tribute act.

 

[May Kasahara]

OMG yes, got home after the shittest most knackering work week and Mr K said "takeaway curry?"

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Mince with spuds and veg.

 

[Zorra]

My son cooked! Roast leg of lamb in a spicy yogurt marinade, rice, and a Sudanese aubergine peanut sauce thing We're moving house and clearing the freezer hence the leg of lamb feast, but this was amazing!

 

[moose]

Chilli sesame tofu, rice, stir-fried whole button mushrooms and spring onions, steamed rice. Chocolate.
Just thrown a bottle of prosecco in the freezer in the hope I can drink it in half an hour.

 

[newme]

Buggered if I know, went daft and bought all healthy food I have to cook from scratch, so probably the frozen stuff from when I did this before and could be arsed to cook. Do have a new rice cooker tho so maybe a chili since we have 27 left.

Tomorrow is our newly decided breakfast for dinner tho. Saturdays I used to make my version of a Piadina, inspired by Jamie Olivers tuna thing but without the tuna and modified a bit. So its about an inch thick, filled with all kinds of things (SO prefers corned beef, cheese and bits, I have ham, cheese and way too many chives). Then maybe some mod to the bread mix, chili flakes, various spices etc depending on who wants what.

It's not remotely like the 'real' dish, but its our version and I would challenge anyone to eat it as a kebab/whatever choice of after beverage consumption thing and not sleep for a considerable amount of time with a full belly. Having had nothing I was asleep by lunchtime in the sun outside before. Which reminds me the gravity chairs are fucked and we need new ones.

 

[cesare]

Vietnamese tonight.

I had summer rolls with chilli sauce
The Button had salad rolls with chilli sauce.

Then we both had a chicken bun with lots of pickled chillis and garlic, also chilli oil.

I then had honey and ginger ice-cream and he had an iced Vietnamese coffee.

It was splendid!

This was really good, overnight the flavours had developed more and the bit of baguette was perfect with it - as I forgot to dust the beef in flour yesterday the gravy was a bit thinner than I'd usually make, but that made it absolutely perfect to have some in a bowl with crusty bread and butter for dunking more like a really rich beef soup.

 

[Epona]

This is Thursday nights' portion, I'm quite pleased with this because I exercised good portion control for a change what with this being in a bowl rather than on a plate and the biggest part of it being the steamed cabbage.

I mean I ate a load of ginger thins biscuits afterwards, but one step at a time, eh?

 

[dessiato]

I'm trying a new recipe tonight.

Rick Stein's Cornwall: Shangurro Razor Clams Recipe - Rick Stein

 

[shakespearegirl]

Butternut squash soup and sausage rolls. Mushroom rolls for the husband. Roast cherry tomato, eggplant pasta salad.

Also making gluten free sausage rolls for besties birthday.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Today will mostly be dark liquids.

Have a good time in Porto. I loved living there.

Avoid Praça de Ribiera if you can. Some of the cafes will put prices up if you're an obvious tourist. If you're there, facing the river, wander along to the right. There's some good locals bars there.

And, of course, Matosinhos for the fish restaurants.
