What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Ron Merlin]

But what I meant is what do you mean about making for two?

When the gf is in I do the cooking and I depend on recipes for the most part, as I said. When I'm eating on my own I do something simple.

I'll have a look for that book - cheers.

 

[Orang Utan]

I always cook for myself. No one but me and the odd friend tastes my cooking.

 

[Ron Merlin]

It's good to keep that (proper cooking) up when (if) you're on your tod. When I lived alone I ate all kinds of rubbish. Depression, probably.

Time to get happy now. Bring me onions!

Had some of my knives sharpened by a nice lady by Clapham Common a few days back - after 15 years or so they thoroughly deserved a bit of a regrind - and they're now beautifully paper-cuttingly sharp again. Giving them a final strop tonight and then will be having a little fun preparing a stir fry with the assorted veg ends and some pork tenderloin in the fridge. A fair bit of thai basil has survived the slug onslaught, so I reckon that and the first chillies of the season will be involved. The other half's out and I'm strangely looking forward to an easy one wok (and perhaps rice cooker) meal. Stir fries do work much better when there's not much food clogging up the wok and bringing the temperature down.

*Bof* if tinned daupinoise spuds are good enough for the French, they're good enough for me.

[QueenOfGoths]

Due to a mixture of fed-upness, feeling ill-ness and general unsettled-ness I couldn't be arsed to eat properly so instead have had some pineapple slices, a packet of hula hoops, two slices of toast and a pint of IPA

Lidl usually sell them tinned during their French week (once or twice a year) or chilled the rest of the year. Failing that, you can buy online or from areas with a lot of French expats.

A warm salad of roasted beetroot, broad beans, new potatoes and baby leaves with feta and pine nuts.
It tasted great and looked very posh but the best thing was that everything apart from the cheese and nuts was picked from the allotment this afternoon
