What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[cesare]

Lasagne, salad and sweet potato fries.

Came down with a cold earlier. One minute I was fine, the next minute my nose was streaming. Very sudden.

 

[Epona]

I'm in day 2 of virus-land myself - what seemed to be a cold yesterday is now definitely something more flu or Covid like, as I have a moderate fever.

I have some mushrooms that need using, so might make myself some mushroom pasta or mushrooms on toast if I feel like eating later.

[Zorra]

Miscellaneous fridge leftovers so moussaka, some soup, fried rice and a lonesome chicken sausage. Good prep for the rest of the freezer clear out! But also discovered we have run out of cheese

 

[Rebelda]

Cottage pie. A slightly rubbish one that the teen is being kind about. Wish my stupid dead dad had written down how he made his

 

[Maggot]

As it's my birthday, I got delicious chargrilled veg and artichoke pizza followed by tiramasu. All delivered to my door.

 

[Epona]

I found some fragments of an appetite albeit fairly late in the night.
A rummage in the kitchen produced half a white cabbage as well as the mushrooms that needed using, so I made a stew with those, onion, bacon, tinned tomatoes, and tinned butter beans along with chilli flakes, garlic and herbs.
It was very restorative. (I swear I could see my HP bar refilling as I ate it).
Managed to make a quorn and butter bean chilli using the other half of the onion/tin of tomatoes/tin of butter beans for N to have tomorrow as well.

Now hopefully my sense of smell and taste start to improve, because although I am sure my meal was delicious (and it was definitely warming and comforting!), I can't even smell malt vinegar or freshly ground black pepper at the moment! I have leftovers to have tomorrow, I might add some mince to it because not quite enough for a whole meal.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Chocolate cake and wine, after a friends boozy birthday lunch!

 

[May Kasahara]

Last night was vegan pizza at the local open mic night; the base was amazing and the sauce/veg very tasty, but I couldn't get past the taste and texture of the fake cheese so didn't eat much. With hindsight, we should have just ordered it cheeseless.

Had a bacon sandwich when I got home

 

[BoatieBird]

Book club tonight at a Turkish restaurant, I'll probably have the lamb shish with rice and salad.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Iraqi influenced mince taties cabbage an carrots and a few yorkies. Was going to make a cottage pie but fancied sommat totally different.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Got the mince and onions chillie flakes bubbling gravy on in the oven. Dash of Worcester dont wanna forget that.

Freezer foraged Turkey stew

 

[Epona]

The second half of my soup/stew type thing from last night - there's not a full portion left but I have some pork and beef mince in the freezer so I'll fry some of that off along with a pointy red pepper that I got on yellow sticker this afternoon, and I found a potato which I'll cut up and soften in the microwave before adding.
Plus a bit of baguette with butter.

Feeling a bit better today, hopefully I'll have more of a sense of taste when I come to eat, I could taste a bit of it last night just not as strongly as I usually would. Hopefully I didn't overdo the seasoning last night trying to overcompensate!

 

[rubbershoes]

I'm at a work quiz and we're promised a chip butty. If it's like last time, I'll need to get something to eat afterwards

 

[mrsfran]

I am too exhausted to cook. Fresh filled pasta it is.

 

[cesare]

Cashew and shredded veg stir-fry with Udon noodles.

 

[May Kasahara]

A serviceable use-up-stuff pasta, with chard, white wine, cream and garlic.

 

[Zorra]

Freezer foraged goulash left by my mum with a sticker saying 'add meat, paprika and stock' which made me wonder what was actually in it Repurposed with some chilli, beans and tomato and eaten with rice and guacamole. Worked out well, if a little bit random. Thanks mum!

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Left enough mince onions and gravy to make a shepherds pie for today. The goblins seem to have been at it. Am conducting an enquiry.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Last night e had home made burgers. Delicious.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Chicken, mustard, crème fresh stew, with Greek potatoes

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Stuffed mince into whelk shells. And having them on a bed of wooden dolly pegs on the shed roof.

Mouth-watering.

 

[Epona]

Grocery delivery day, have all the ingredients for a Bolognese which I love but haven't had for a while.
Not sure yet what pasta I'll be having with it - I think we've got spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, fusilli, and penne in the pasta box. Will probably go with a long pasta tonight, then penne or fusilli tomorrow for a Bolognese pasta bake

 

[mrsfran]

Big chicken salad. Rotisserie chicken, watercress, red pepper, cucumber, tomato, avocado, mustard vinaigrette.

Went to M&S with mum today. Decided I’d treat myself and El Jugs to something nice since I cooked for mum yesterday. They had samphire, not had it for ages. Got cod loins and there were salad potatoes left over from yesterday so I sliced and baked them, baked the cod, samphire in a dish with lemon and olive oil. Hey presto - food wanker fish and chips!

Have to say I'm not a massive fan of samphire and would probably sub it for spinach, but the rest of it sounds lush
