What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[TitanSound]

I made a herby tomato sauce with mushrooms yesterday. I over cooked my chicken though because my housemate was being a stresshead in the kitchen whilst I was cooking and I had to get the fuck out of there. She's the worlds messiest cook and doesn't seem to understand the need for prep. Don't start fucking sautéing stuff on a high heat before you've chopped everything that needs chopping

So, back to my original point, leftovers

 

[BoatieBird]

Jacket spud for me tonight - topping(s) still to be decided from a selection including cheese, tuna or baked beans.

 

[sojourner]

Falafel in pitta, with nice crunchy green salad, various flavoured houmuss cos they were going cheap, baby toms, and tzatziki

 

[Biddlybee]

spag bol

 

[wtfftw]

chorizo tomato pasta.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Beef hula hoops and some galia melon.

*goes off to post on the kitchen garden thread*

 

[Greebo]

spiral macaroni with milk and dried fruit

 

[ringo]

Sirloin steak, veggie sausage for the littlun, mash, sweetcorn, peas & gravy.

Tonight is chippy tea.

 

[sojourner]

Leftover falafel, couscous, toms and salad for the fella cos he's off out to rehearsal.

Spicy spanishy saussies, tzatziki (or however the fuck you spell it), hummus, salad, toms and couscous for us, plus chockley and wine and an early night

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Lentil Bolognaise, olive bread and juiced apples, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries!

 

[Hellsbells]

something that doesn't involve biting or chewing

 

[colacubes]

Sausages, chips and beans. Can't be arsed with anything more difficult than switching the oven on

 

[moonsi til]

^^ same here so I'm having jacket potato, cheese & onion crisp bake (from the freezer) & ratatouille (pre bought).

What kind of deviant cooks sausages on the oven?

 

[Greebo]

Croissant dough with bacon, grated mature cheese, bottled red pepper bits, a field mushroom and salad.

BTW I do sausages in the oven, it saves having to keep turning them and keeping an eye on them.

 

[crustychick]

I just had mushroom and barley soup, but am still hungry... will probably have half a spinach pizza in a bit too

 

[moose]

Pappardelle with mushrooms; pineapple and ice cream

 

[Shirl]

Fending for myself tonight. Tuna with green salad.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Lambs heart and kidney stew - It is as bad as it sounds. Well, I say that, the actual stew's alright, it's what I normally make, but with shin beef instead of hearts. Anyway, I like liver and kidneys an such - Even tripe, as long as it's in sumat, wouldn't fancy it just raw with a bit of vinegar. But I saw these hearts on a market stall an thought fuck it, let's push the offal envelope a bit, why not try them in the slop? Because they're horrible is why. Got enough left for about 3 days but fuck it, it's pay day tomorrow, so tonight's it's last ride, tomorrow it's getting latered - And I very rarely waste food, as it is taking the bit's of heart out of the slop and launchin them isn't sitting entirely well with me, but there's no way I'm eating the bastard though.

An I did prepare it right, took the ventricles out an such, it's just the meat itself is rank.

Cor. Can I come to your house for tea, please? That's my sort of nosh.

I'm in the final throes of eating all the food out of my freezer because I decided about a fortnight ago that there was so much completely unrecognisable stuff in there that it definitely needed sorting out. I've eaten the best stuff, like soups and curries and stews and pies. Now I'm onto stuff I probably only froze in the first place because it didn't turn out properly and I'm too parsimonious to throw food away, even when I've cocked it up.
Bored of it now.
Though I suppose it should have taught me to label stuff properly in future and to not bother freezing the remains of something if I didn't actually like it the first time round. Silver linings and all that.

 

[purenarcotic]

The wife is having jacket spuds. I am having gefilte fish my dad made and brought up with him today. My grandma's recipe, the best ever.

 

[yardbird]

The main bit is insignificant (left over chicken casserole from yesterday) but tonight I made perfect saute potatoes.
Should have been served on a platter.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Boiled bacon, mash, green beans and a sort of splodge which is made by frying mushrooms and onions in butter and then adding cut fresh tomatoes and cooking them till they make a sauce around the mushrooms.

 

[ringo]

What kind of deviant cooks sausages on the oven?

I do.

Sausages, chips and beans. Can't be arsed with anything more difficult than switching the oven on

Not beans though

 

[ringo]

Boiled bacon

I can't remember what this tastes like. You cut it into small bits first I suppose? Sounds like it would be all rubbery and grim. Is it?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Not at all! I boil up the whole joint (for some reason they're called gammon joints these days, but that's recent) and it's tender and very tasty. The resulting stock is very salty but can be used watered down for making something like a pea or lentil soup the next day.

 

[ringo]

Ah right, I remember my Mum making that when I was a nipper. I had in mind strips of bacon being boiled, not a whole joint.

Is that the bacon often served with cabbage? I keep meaning to make that but hadn't looked up how to do it.

 

[colacubes]

I do.



Not beans though

True that

I'm a recent convert to oven cooking snags. I was deeply sceptical but they come out much juicier

Anyway, in the end I was even lazier and had a takeaway (curry chicken, rice and peans, plantain and coleslaw ), so tonight is sausage night

 

[Biddlybee]

I do
