What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

No. I also realise I have no flour.

You can always add grated spud too to thicken

Dunno what to have tonight. Something easy. Maybe even just shop-bought pizza.

I didn't add any thickener in the end, just let it reduce to desired thickness. I added some chopped fresh rosemary, raw ginger and some lime zest at the end, really made a difference.

 

[crustychick]

more soup

but tasty soup?

dunno what we'll have. maybe a veggie spag bol or something. feeling not very ambitious tonight.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I have about half an hour, possibly 40 minutes, in Windsor. So probably MacDonalds! Unless I can find somewhere that does fish & chips!

 

[moonsi til]

Having tortolini pasta filled with mushroom with a tomato and olive sauce, salad & garlic bread.

I had veggie sausages, onion gravy, mashed potato and loads of veggies last night.

Hope you feel better, fakeplasticgirl

Went back to the uni canteen and tried a different concession. At this one you could have 3 options plus rice for 90p, I had mapo tofu, thin bits of beef and green beans and some kind of lemony breaded chicken.

I'm having more sausage/chorizo casserole tonight which should be even nicer after a night in the fridge.

God that sounds good for 90p. I miss Asian prices. I once had some great daal, rice, two chapatis and a masala chai in Paharganj for 16p.

Last nights NIgella was spaghetti with anchovies, olives , parsley and pistachios - pretty good.

Just been to a caff in Angel and had a massive lamb shank, roast pots, carrots, peas and gravy for £4.90. Better than one I paid three times that for in a gastropub recently.

Tonight will be something quick before the fireworks.

Oh nice, that's a way better deal! I think the canteen must be subsidized because the prices/portion sizes are something else, even for China, ime.

90p for three dishes, though. not bad. Tbf the place I had my dhaal was totally filthy - I doubt I'd've risked it if I hadn't already been living there for a bit and built up some resistance to the local bugs. Lots of Indian blokes having thalis there on their lunchbreak though; always a good sign. I think a thali was 23p. Out of my price range, obvs..

 

[Looby]

We've decided to go out and I have a 25% off voucher for Cafe Rouge.

Probably steak for me and I reckon Mr S will have fish. We're getting the bus so I can have a few drinks too. : )

 

[killer b]

Macaroni cheese, with a poached egg on the side.

this was so good, i took a photo.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Cream of pumpkin soup followed by steak cutlets with rice and a very nice green bean salad. Green beans, red onions, chopped boiled egg, diced potato, herbs and spicey lemon juice dressing.

Going to source a good bottle of wine and quality chorizo for this evening. Another financially imposed Friday night in.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

That does look good, but the egg is on top, not on the side.

 

[Orang Utan]

this was so good, i took a photo.

a poached egg is a worthy addition to almost any meal, esp with fried potatoes or crispy skin textures

 

[killer b]

yer, i changed my mind cause it looked better stacked.

 

[Biddlybee]

I want that now!

 

[killer b]

there's loads left...

 

[Biddlybee]

Post me some

 

[killer b]

dont think there'll be any left after tonight tbf.

i'll make extra next time.

 

[Biddlybee]

Ok

 

[Mephitic]

What are the eyeballs, mozzarella?

No idea what we're having tonight. We're doing the monthly shop so will grab something at tesco or on the way home. I kind of fancy harvester salad cart...

yeah, lil mozzarella balls in hollowed out tomatoes with bits of basil for pupils.

 

[twentythreedom]

Just yammed a lovely chicken shish from the awesome kebab shop up the road. Very rarely have kebabs, but fancied one on a whim as I drove past and very nice it was too, all fresh ingredients etc, tasty sauce, good pitta. Lovely

 

[Epona]

Fantastic, tomatoes stuffed with mozzarella is great. It's one of the things my OH particularly likes to cook/eat

 

[moose]

Cheese and onion pastry thing; baked spuds; braised little gem lettuce/peas/spring onions; steamed samphire

 

[8115]

Red chicken curry and rice.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

A stolen pig

 

[Thimble Queen]

Last night I had dim sum at Courtesan. Average food decor was kind of cool, they put a lot of effort in. A plus was we didn't feel rushed and the staff were friendly and attentive, but maybe a bit formal.
