What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Looby]

We've been eating shit for days due to birthday then busy weekend, then last minute road trip.

We had crisps and yum yums in a b&b last night and had chinese tonight. Crispy chilli beef, we shared steamed rice and noodles and chicken satay. So full right now.

Tomorrow-home cooked meal with lots of veg.

I couldn't be arsed cooking tonight so I had two cheese sarnies. Before Badgers asks it went bread, olive spread thingy, mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise spread thing bread. I was hoping that I had some tomatoes in.

[wtfftw]

I had Polish potato pancakes (UK remix).

[Biddlybee]

So the mayo doesn't make the bread soggy

(at first I thought he meant tapenade)

I got to the butcher just before he shut, so I'm having this tomorrow ^

Tonight is roasted celeriac, sweet potato and a shallot tossed with feta and roast chicken - made up tea

Kind of got my mojo back a bit and planned the rest of the week's meals too

thank you! you reminded me to put the sweet potatoes in the fridge in hopes they'll still be edible when I get home.

Meanwhile I'mn having the sausage pasta thing he likes to cook which is um, sausage (meat) and pasta with things like fennel seed and white wine and lemon juice and other stuff he mashes in the pestle and mortar with the fennel seeds.

[wtfftw]

it has been a fiesty 'what's for tea tonight' thread today. AND I'm sure it was proven that chips & broccoli was not on the menu!

 

[Hellsbells]

a tin of sainsbury's rice pudding (17p). Had massive tummy ache & this was just what i felt like. Tasted like the most perfect, warming, soothing, satisfying dinner ever Everyone in Sainsburys was stocking up on this. God i reckon i could probably live off it.

 

[Greebo]

venison korma & basmati rice

 

[sheothebudworths]

Roast chicken thighs, potato/courgette/feta cakes and broccoli.

The last of the choc brownie cake for pudding.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I've just taken some stewing steak out of the freezer. I have plenty of spuds, carrots and onions. Supper will involve these ingredients in a comfort food sort of way.

 

[crustychick]

tonight will be another of the spicy mexican bean burgers in a pitta with salad before german class and probably something else AFTER German class. maybe an egg.

 

[ringo]

Beans THEN cheese on toast

Oh I see. Double standards that is. Alright on your toast but not acceptable on my spud.

Spud tonight, just like in the piccy. But with mayo.

 

[Biddlybee]

that pic just makes me think... soggy bread

tonight I'm having nipsla's tea from Monday pork chops, corn and coleslaw

 

[BoatieBird]

Tonight's tea will involve some of the many ripe tomatoes we have. Possibly tomato/pepper/chilli/chorizo with some eggs added for the last few minutes.

 

[moonsi til]

I don't as I'm visiting a friend & her 6 yr old twins....I don't what I will be eating but I do know it will hetic! I am taking a Dorset apple cake (I baked yesterday) for pudding. I'm hoping to pick up some vanilla ice-cream on the way.

 

[Orang Utan]

the toast in badgers' pic isn't toasty enough

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Spicy butternut squash and coconut soup plus mini naan bread

 

[BoatieBird]

Spicy butternut squash and coconut soup plus mini naan bread

ooh, that sounds nice.

I often make spicy butternut squash soup, but the addition of coconut sounds like a good idea.
Do you make it yourself? Is it just a case of adding coconut milk

 

[ringo]

Looks alright to me. Golden for white bread, a little bit darker for wholemeal/brown. It's the getting the butter (no margarine nonsense, or whatever it's called these days) on there before it starts to cool which is important. We might have done this several time before though

 

[ringo]

Trying this out tonight

Cheers Tits, that Goan fish curry was lovely.

Hey, no worries. It's a fave of mine

Yup - homemade, it's a Sainsbury's recipe. Delicious and it freezes well. Also it's low fat/low cal so quite often I make the quantity below and split it between 2 meals for the 2 of us iyswim

Serves 8

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large shallots
3 cloves garlic
3 cm (1 1/4 inches) knob ginger
2 thumb sized red chillis
1 kg (2lb 4 oz) butternut or pumpkin squash (peeled, de-seeded and cubed)
510 ml (18fl oz) veg or chicken stock
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
2 x 400ml coconut milk
25 g pack coriander
zest and juice of 2 limes

Heat the oil in a large saucepan/casserole pan. Peel and chop the shallots, garlic and ginger, de-seed and chop the chilli. Add to the pan with salt and pepper and cook gently for 5 minutes.

Add the pumpkin/squash, stock, coconut milk and fish sauce. Simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes.

Chop the coriander and stir into the pan with the lime juice and zest. Puree the soup, in batches ii necessary, check seasoning then serve
