What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[wtfftw]

Dunno. I've got tofu but that doesn't really go with broccoli, cauliflower and/or squash. I'd have beans on toast but I'm out of bread. Might have to be potatoes, vegetables and cheese.

 

[waylon]

Chili con carne in the hope that it clears our blocked noses and makes our horrid colds go away.

I'm glad you survived you dodgy dinner last night, wayward bob!

Chilli for me as well, the tinned stuff though, drizzled over some chips with a wham bar and a bag of fizzy cherry cola bottles for afters, washed down with a pinta milk.

 

[aqua]

I don't fancy anything

 

[mrsfran]

Santino made spaghetti and meatballs! With garlic bread! And later we've got a whole Victoria sponge cake that has to be eaten today!

 

[mrsfran]

I don't fancy anything

Wassamatta?

 

[aqua]

have properly gone off eating recently tbh

 

[METH LAB]

gravey 'n chips from grotty chippy and 2 pints of cafferys.

the cafferys were nice, didnt sit to well ontop of gloopy gravey 'n chips though

 

[mrsfran]

have properly gone off eating recently tbh

Oh dear. Gone off eating or cooking? Would getting take-away/going out help?

 

[aqua]

both but more the eating - it's all very strange tbh, for as long as I can remember my world revolved around food, now for that to have changed it's all a bit weird - not necessarily a bad weird (I feel much freer tbh and less mental )

 

[mrsfran]

Oh well that's ok then!

 

[moomoo]

We had bangers, mash and baked beans.

 

[aqua]

well it is right up to this point where I know I need to eat something, but can't think of what I fancy - this bit drives me insane

 

[aqua]

ooo bless him bees has gone to the kitchen to see what he can rustle up

 

[wayward bob]

pate on toast usually works for me when i have no appetite

 

[sheothebudworths]

Garlicky mushroom, chive and cheese omelette with oven chips and tomatoes.

 

[wayward bob]

pizza

 

[madzone]

I might fall prey to the powers of suggestion and treat us to fish and chips.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Change of plan! I had to take a chicken breast out of the freezer for sandwiches for tomorrow and have ended up with two breasts stuck together, which bashing on the counter wouldn't fix so we're going to have chicken, creamed corn and potato soup with lots of grated cheddar. I really need to get through some of the tomatoes though, so we might have to have tomatoes with salt and pepper for afters.

 

[ringo]

Started off feeling lazy and got some spring onion and leek bakes & rosti out of the freezer, but then redeemed myself by doing a pot of Ful Gnaoua (spicy beans).

I love Ful Gnaoua, a one pot dish you just shove everything in and leave it:

* 1 tin black eyed peas (cowpeas), or similar
* 2 tomatoes, grated
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or crushed
* 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/3 cup olive oil

Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan with one or two cups of water, bring to the boil and simmer until it reaches a nice thick sauce.

Tonight will be macaroni cheese.

 

[tarannau]

Depends if they've fixed the gas pipe outside our block tonight. The cold shower wasn't pleasant this morning tbh, particularly with no heating afterwards

I'm half hoping it isn't tbh, in which case it's burrito or alternate takeaway time. Or risotto (asparagus) if the blue flames are going

 

[Boppity]

My brother is away this weekend so we are having the family roast a lickle bit early.

Chicken, carrots, cabbage, roast potatoes, yorkshires, stuffing, the works. Nom.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Along with cooking the chowder, I have also just griddled some thyme/paprika/cumin chicken strips, ready to cut up and mix with some mayo for tomorrows sarnies and done a massive pot of butternut squash, the burgess buttercup squash that I grew carrot and chilli (also homegrown) soup. Will freeze loads and leave a few bowls worth for lunches over the next few days too.

 

[madzone]

I fell prey to the power of suggestion and we're having fish and chips.

 

[mrsfran]

We're having chicken with some kind of crispy coating and potato dauphinoise (not home-made).

 

[yardbird]

Slices from a braised beef joint I did yesterday, frozen peas, new pots, some tiny carrots and a sliced leek.
Just delicious

 

[aqua]

possibly scrambled egg on toast, possibly eggy buttys, possible something else

 

[Orang Utan]

a delicious spread from the tramps' buffet: two packs of garlic n cheese bread slices, 2 bacon & cheese chicken fillets and a packet of jam & chocolate marshmallow thingies - all for the princely sum of £1.69.
and some wine.

 

[Roonster]

It'll be more like supper because the wife is working late... braised lamb chops, boiled potatoes, buttered carrots and cabbage.

 

[Badgers]

Sleep

 

[tarannau]

Bugger. Still no gas. And none for a week or so apparently, as there's a rupture in the main gas pipe in the block. Big hole in the ground, needs scaffolding and a team in high-vis garments fucking around for ages apparently.

Don't own a microwave and the fridgeful of food is looking a little wasted. Anyone who fancies a small joint of pork belly to collect from Brixton is welcome - needs cooking tonight mind. The gas bods are apparently delivering a two ring hot plate and fan heater round at some time, just for that realistic bedsit experience I guess. Not looking forward to it.

On the plus side there are some fine takeaways around.
