What's for tea tonight? (#8)

Inspired by, and yet despite Nigel Slater and his Jubilee menus, I boiled a slab of ham, which was very moist and tasty. I mixed a plain salad of tomatoes and small cucumbers and squeezed lemon juice on top. It was the sort of grub I was brought up on.

I also bought tons of rhubarb at knock-down price, so I have stewed that and will eat some of it with custard, later.

It is a v 50s English menu but who cares?

Edit: I was going to say it was better than the grub I was brought up on because it was all organic and free range, but in those days everything was. :( And we grew our own rhubarb and gooseberries. OK, we did nothing to them; they just turned up year after year.
 
Fillet steak (fried in butter for 1 min per side with salt. black pepper and parsley), oven chips, fried cherry toms and onions.

Was well nice.
 
A take away due to lack of time to cook thanks to the Boy making a quick bit of DIY turn into a 3 hour guttering debacle :rolleyes:
Sesame prawns toasts, BBQ spare ribs, egg fried rice, prawn crackers, chicken in satay sauce & beef in black bean sauce.
Strawberries for pudding (recommended by Heston, no less!)
All washed down with a bottle of Cava.
 
Mother & daughter reunion in a farmyard
Chicken, hardboiled egg and chorizo in something or other.
 
Lamb Wellington, roast spuds, carrots, broccoli and green beans then raspberry roulade when we can squeeze it in (probably tomorrow).
: )
 
I'm camping down in Swanage tonight and it's windy and looks like it might rain. I was in Lidl (can I say that?) earlier and saw a tin of chicken balls, as opposed to meat balls, so I'm going to give them a try. My dad used to give us kids meatballs when we were camping as kids, and there's no way I'll touch them again. So it'll be chicken balls tonight. I don't suppose it'll be free range breast moulded as balls, probably bona fide gonads, but he ho, it's tea.
 
Hummus, garlic bread and couscous :cool:

Oh no wait! That's not right! :confused: :hmm:

Cashed in a tenners worth of Tesco vouchers so we've got forty quid to spend in Cafe Rouge.
My son will defo have steak and chips and my daughter will prob have chicken goujons (she gets palmed off with the kids menu :p )...dunno about me...maybe duck :hmm:

Pudding to be decided on there :cool:
 
Going for a roast round me Mums. If it's anything like usual it'll be roast beef, yorkshire pud, carrots, cauli cheese, sprouts, roast spuds, parsnips, gravy and pretty much everything else in the freezer. And loads of decent red wine. :cool:
 
Do not know, as will be out and about-but curently cooking a thai yellow fish curry with brown basmati rice for my tea tomorrow as I will be on a 12and ahalf hour shift.
 
Did a salad with leftover cold chicken, tiny bits of Polish smoked sausage, cucumber, tomato, chick peas, spring onions and a dressing of plum sauce, chilli and ginger. To be honest, it's a marinade but it's quite robust and a little went a long way.
