What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[newme]

Home cooked fish, chips and peas with a dollop of tartare sauce

I loved doing home made fish and chips, I hated cleaning up after however and all the sounds of fire alarms when I am trying to cook.

 

[iona]

Doing a load of yellow sticker / smug homegrown batch cooking for the rest of the week and to freeze:
Beef & ale stew bulked out with a load of carrots, neep and yellow split peas
Smoked sea bass, spinach, chard and cauliflower cheese bake
Roast potatoes
And something I'm calling salmonella stew just to offset the smug, got-my-shit-togetherness (herby tomatoey lentilly chicken & bacon thing)

Not sure which of those I'll have tonight.

A fat slice of 3 day old parkin, that's been maturing in its foil. Mmm sticky goodness! Obv, with a nice cup of decaff tea.

Ooh great idea, thanks! Gonna do some parkin now while I have the oven on. Edit - mind sharing the recipe you use please sojourner ? I have one written down somewhere not immediately findable and google doesn't throw anything up from sources I automatically trust. Picked one to use tonight that'll be ok either way as I've chucked a fuckton of ABV in it but want to do another batch tomorrow that's actually nice.

Big spicy veg stir fry with noodles. Kids had omelette, noodles and broccoli.

This is the one we use, but there's a buttery eggy one on the BBC too:

For one 2lb loaf cake you need:


100g plain flour
100g olive spread
100g dark brown sugar
100g treacle
100g golden syrup
175ml milk
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp baking powder
100g oats

Melt together the olive spread, syrup, treacle and sugar. Leave to cool for 10-15 mins or until you can comfortably put your hand against the side of the pan.

Meanwhile mix together the dry ingredients. Once the sugar/syrup/fat mix is cool enough mix them together along with the milk. Don’t worry about the batter being very thin! Pour evenly into a 2lb lined loaf tin and bake at gas mark 3 for about 60 mins till risen and cooked. You might need to do it for longer, just test it at 60 mins.

 

[sojourner]

Gonna make charred peppers/red onion and chickpea fajitas tonight, with guac.

Parkin and a brew.

Thanks!

Much delayed shepherds pie cabbage carrots n gravy. Just needs to go in oven 30 mins and cheese on top also mashed some into the mash.

 

[iona]

Forgot I had some liver in the fridge, so ended up having that last night along with a faked* potato, and the dregs of miscellaneous green veg tarted up with butter and a handful of peas

*"baked" style but actually microwaved, crisped up in the oven this time because I had it on but don't always bother

Picked at a bit of the salmonella stew later on and I still seem to be alive but I've left it out at (cold) room temp since then Garlic sourdough baguette and smug homegrown salad / foraged weeds to go with it tonight.

 

[Numbers]

Veg tray bake + baked chicken skinless thigh fillets - been eating same since Sunday. Might add an avacadoe and hummus to the chicken.

 

[mrsfran]

I'm on my own for dinner, so it's prawn and tomato pasta.

 

[May Kasahara]

Chicken Kyivs and oven chips.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

I am trying to keep calm before wandering downstairs and seeing if i have any shepherds pie left. I heard someone going to bed an hour ago. My breathing technique is going haywire.

Thoughts and prayers (as they say in some religious communities).

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Civil war has been averted it survived. I have pie left untouched. We will eat again.

 

[Maggot]

Last night had bangers and sweet potato mash with some buttery cabbage on the side.

 

[sojourner]

A lovely silky/slightly chunky vegetable soup with mature cheddar on a slab of 4 seed homebaked wholemeal toast. Looking forward to it already!

More parkin and a brew.

 

[BoatieBird]

Chicken, ham & leek pie (not homemade) with mash and steamed broccoli/carrots.

 

[May Kasahara]

Don't know. The house is full of food that needs eating but I've no appetite and we're away for the weekend

 

[iona]

Salmonella stew that I ended up not eating last night because I got in and inhaled twelve butteries in the time it took to make a cup of tea instead. I'll try to remember to leave a note for someone to let yous know if I'm found dead of food poisoning.

Might have to start on the parkin even though I know it'll be better if I give it a few more days.

 

[Orang Utan]

FISH N CHIPS!

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Noodles n chicken most prob.

 

[mrsfran]

Quorn enchiladas and corn on the cob.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Last nights leftovers, fried plantain, salad, fresh bread from the new breadmaker - hoping it works!

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Spiced turkey mince with tofu, brocoli and fermented cabbage.

Getting quite into tofu as a side, especially now it's cheap as in Aldi. Also the first time doing it in the airfryer which worked well.

 

[quiet guy]

Casserole using some cut up left over pork joint and a warm buttered roll. May have a toasted crumpet later.

 

[May Kasahara]

Baked potatoes with butter and red Leicester and chopped pickled chillies, with a mixed salad on the side. It was delicious and absolutely what I wanted

 

[cesare]

Pork loin and a massive amount of veg stir-fry with fresh Udon noodles. Delicious!

 

[sojourner]

BBQ mushroom burgers tonight, with sea salty wedges and Romaine leaves with balsamic dressing.

A chocolate binge because it's Friday and it's been quite a difficult week, one way or the other.

 

[cesare]

Cauliflower and sugar snap curry. Not sure yet whether with chapattis or rice.

Cotton candy grapes afterwards .
