What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[ringo]

I thought she was trying meat ringo? Did I get that wrong or did she revert?

Yep, she tried meat but didn't get on too well with it. After a month or so she only really wanted to eat very processed stuff like chicken nuggets. I pointed out that was the worst stuff and what it meant in terms of animal welfare and eventually she decided to go back to being veggie, quite proud of her for that. She does now eat sweets with gelatine in though

My daughter has a friend round for dinner tonight so will let them choose between pizza and salad, fishfingers and chips or beans on toast

Ice cream for pudding.

They have indeed plumped for beans on toast!

Having really not been getting into British Burger Week so far. It ends on Sunday so will have to pull my finger out before then.

We should have the money for a burger before sunday.
Maybe home-made burger sunday lunch?

 

[kittyP]

Home made pizza!
It's my first one

Badgers was my adviser

Base made in bread maker.
Base sauce - tomato paste, water, parsley and paprika.
Next layer - mozzarella
Next layer - sauted leeks and mushrooms
Next layer - fresh spinach
Loads of black pepper

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

I had aubergine, leek and red pepper pizza*

*home made too.... just not by me

 

[crustychick]

mmmm, PIZZA - I want pizza tonight.

 

[sheothebudworths]

My daughter's staying at her friend's tonight, so it's a Balinese coconut curry with squid and king prawns for me and the boy ...rice and asparagus ( ) to go with it.

Veal escalopes (thank you Waitrose's tramps buffet), not sure what I'm going to do with them yet - I'll trawl the goodfood website for some inspiration.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Veal Milanese, defo! Plenty of lemon squeezed over! OMG, YUM, YUM, YUM!

Cheers sheo, looks good.
I've got a lemon, but I've only got panko breadcrumbs, and no white bread to make any with, I wonder if the panko would work

 

[sojourner]

Still not entirely settled, but am starting to crave a chicken madras, so if the Co Op's got any of that nice paste in, I'll be making that. And more strawberry cheesecake (reduced from over 3 squid to just 1 )

^ Fucking hell, I want a ruby now. I'll settle for my usual tag bol tonight. Only takes three hours!

I don't reckon it'd be a bad replacement, tbf!
Or can you get Mr BB to pick up a white loaf?

Reet well they didn't have the paste so I bought the Pataks sauce instead. Should be okay but I like it hotter than they suggest. Might pop a chilli in it, just for the road like

Sounds divine Recipe books are always wrong anyway.

I'll be browning the mince up proper for 45 minutes, then making the rest of the sauce. Fresh thyme from the garden makes it extra special. Simmering for an hour and a half makes so much difference to the flavour too.

I think a Cabernet Merlot is called for

 

[sojourner]

Fresh herbs are just the nuts in cooking. I always keep dried in anyway cos it's handy, but my god...coriander, rosemary, basil, thyme...I fucking love these so much For veggie cooking they're pretty much essential I'd say

 

[Ron Merlin]

Dead right! We have about four or five very bushy coriander plants and one big thyme plant. I think we're covered. Fresh coriander in the chicken, chorizo and bean thing, mmm lovely.

Schnitzel

I think schnitzel and milanese are the same thing - breaded and pan fried.

It turns out I've got enough crumbs to cover a piece of veal about an inch square, so I'm going for this recipe instead

Same thing as Milanese (just orginating in different countries)

Tonight was a fish pie and whatever the boy brings me back from the shop now.

Last night I cooked chicken breasts wrapped in bacon baked in a tomato, garlic and smoky bacon sauce with garlic and rosemary (fresh from the garden ) roast potatoes with half a head of broccoli (due to the other half being mouldy :madface substandard coop veg). Lemon meringue ice cream for pud

Oh, that sounds lovely. I may do something similar tomorrow. Chicken thighs aren't expensive are they?

No really cheap-under £3 for six from the supermarket-marinate them for a couple of hours

 

[nogojones]

sea bass, a sort of spicy ratatouille and new spuds.
