What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Espresso]

Ooooh. I used to like a Caramac

I think they're lovely, even though they are so ridiculously sweet.
They were on sale three for a quid in Tesco this weekend. I surprised myself by being fairly restrained and only buying a quidsworth

 

[killer b]

Cheese & onion crisps and a cadburys caramel.

Might have chips & curry sauce for afters.

 

[kittyP]

Roast chicken, new potatoes with spring onions and butter and some salad.

Thanks to mum for the chicken

Awesome (well it had better be) new cooker arrives today, along with plumber to connect it
The chances of persuading Mrs R that we should forego our traditional Friday night curry delivery so that I can cook macaroni cheese in an elaborate, drunken and entirely made up ceremony of cheese themed ordination are about nil, so it will probably get its cherry popped with a bacon sandwich tomorrow morning

Accidentally got completely and utterly destroyed on Friday and by Sunday morning the lovely shiny cooker was still languishing unused except for the tin of ravioli I'd warmed up for the tiddler on Saturday

Got stuck into it Sunday with a full roast chicken & trimmings for my folks. What a joy to use, love everything about it. It does everything better, quicker and makes me happy just to cook on it. I love my cooker

The real test of course was last night's macaroni cheese. Request from the small people was a pure macaroni cheese - no extra mushrooms, spinach, bacon or other foreign bodies, just CHEESE. Another winner

Tonight will be (leftover) roast chicken, pancetta and mushroom orzo.

 

[ringo]

My first successful macaroni cheese.

 

[corieltauvi]

Don't ever make another macaroni cheese as it will never again be this good

[Ms T]

Leftover curry after a loooong day at work.

 

[crustychick]

Is that all we get?

I was really hungover it was about all I could do to post...

I had mixed vegetable pakora with spicy sauce. Followed by a Paneer Mango curry with rice and a bhatura. all awesome although I could only eat about half the curry in the end

the boy had samosas and a chapati - his appetite was even worse than mine!

 

[Firky]

I have some happy pig bacon chops. I liked the irony so bought them, probably have baked beans and chips with them. Make a kids meal out of it

 

[kittyP]

If I am not feeling too wobbly, spag bol.

 

[kittyP]

Oh with lashings of cheese.

 

[sojourner]

Fella's out rehearsing, so I'm gonna turn the left over roast chicken into a madras

 

[Hellsbells]

My first successful macaroni cheese. Perfect with chipotle tabasco.

What's your recipe please I'm planning on making macaroni cheese tonight

 

[miss direct]

I should make something nice for my flatmate but am out of ideas. I have pasta, cheese, milk, eggs, garlic, a few tomatoes, a can of tuna and various other bits in the cupboard (could go to shop but don't feel like it)..any ideas?

 

[Greebo]

Not feeling that inspired, might order a pizza if there's enough left on my card.

 

[Hellsbells]

(miss direct) a tuna pasta bake with grated cheese and tomato on top

 

[Orang Utan]

Pasta carbonara?

 

[miss direct]

Mmmm yes I like both of those ideas, will have a look for some recipes.

 

[Hellsbells]

but mine is best, right

 

[Hellsbells]

carbonara requires bacon and you said you didn't want to go to the shops

 

[miss direct]

I like both the ideas, will look at recipes and see which one suits my ingredients best! Obviously have no bacon and can't get any but I'm sure that I can still have a go at carbonara. I have to go out to the tailor anyway...been putting it off.

 

[Hellsbells]

carbonara won't taste very good without bacon

 

[miss direct]

Ok, ok, back from the shop with sweetcorn and some chopped tomatoes, going to do this:

[Hellsbells]

i should think so too

 

[Orang Utan]

Pork and lemon orzotto

 

[sheothebudworths]

Got the dentist at half four so am going to do Cantonese corn soup when we get back with the stock and the last of the chicken from saturday's roast. Will be very quick...plus also relatively safe if I have to have any work done (and I suspect I will...bah)!
