What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[High Voltage]

I might do a baked carp in Fanta, then.

Lemon Fanta - natch!!

 

[Voley]

Chinese tonight - Chef's Special in Hot Chilli Garlic Sauce, Deep Fried Salt Chicken Chilli and Chilli Salt Chips. I reckon I'm getting my all important five a day of chilli and salt with this meal.

 

[ringo]

Roasted butternut squash & gruyere risotto

 

[BoatieBird]

Well "Cupcake " - I hope that man of yours appreciates the Herculean efforts you are going to perform later on this evening / tomorrow morning

Oh, he does
He's tiling the bathroom this weekend so it seems like a fair division of labour.

 

[Callie]

grapefruit finlandia with a side serving of loud music.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I note that there is no comment on what this actually tasted like - please enlighten us - would you make it again?

Well, it's at least the tenth time I've done it. It's got to be proper ginger beer though, cloudy, made with real ginger. Really delicious. I have no truck with any form of cola though. I can't bear it as a drink, so I just wouldn't use it for anything else, although it's good for getting the tarnish off copper and brass.

 

[sheothebudworths]

We went out for a chinese.....roast duck, crispy roast pork and honey pork, noodles, rice and pak choi in oyster sauce...YUM

 

[frogwoman]

hot ribena and chilli/pepper/other spice stuff i dont know the name of

 

[twentythreedom]

Beans on toast. Very nice it was too

 

[colacubes]

Steak and the last of the cauli cheese Had some sort of caramel pud that we got off the M&S meal for £10 as well. But still have the chicken and veg for tomorrow. Win

 

[stuff_it]

Tea, I knew I forgot something.

It's now a toss up between porridge, buckwheat pancakes, or biscuits from the corner shop.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Spicy chorizo and black bean soup topped with lime and corriander

 

[Voley]

I was going to make beef bourgignon but that requires a fair bit of wine, which I appear to have drunk. So I'm having this beef stew instead but with mash potato not dumplings.

 

[Looby]

Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce. I was going to have rice with it but we had chilli and rice last night and have leftovers for lunch.

It'll probably be some sort of potato and green beans.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Not sure. Other half is doing a gig so I have no idea what time he'll get back, so summat that can cook in minutes, or improves with reheating.

 

[Biddlybee]

Going to the pub with a lovely old mate, so probably a roast

 

[BoatieBird]

Pulled pork. I am quite excited about this
I'd like to do it with jacket spuds and coleslaw, but I think there might be an outcry if I don't do roasties, so I might do it with roasties and veg.

 

[Biddlybee]

You definitely need to save some to have with coleslaw.

 

[TruXta]

Another vote for pork with slaw.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Uni canteen again. Had stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs, aubergine with beef and green peppers, stir-fried veggies and the North-Eastern version of sweet and sour pork.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Yu was there you didn't like it? I just know I would starve in China.

I've kind of learned to eat around the unsettling bits and pick out the edible bits of a dish. It must be hard to be a veggie or have a food allergy, but otherwise I think you'd be OK.

 

[Thimble Queen]

whisky and orange mustard roast beef inspired by this http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/whisky_and_orange_31001

 

[Firky]

I maded:

Roasted poussin in garlic and rosemary, with asparagus, beans and sun-blushed tomatoes.

Lemony, honey and garlicy butter sauce type thing to go with it too.

 

[idumea]

I'm going to do a big pot of veggie chili and then freeze it into portions for the rest of the week. Quorn mince, onions, two types of beans, mushrooms, chopped carrots, spinach. I forgot peppers, but there's literally no way in hell I'm venturing out of the flat again today.

 

[TruXta]

Looking good @firky. Having tea at a mate's tonight, can't remember what he said he'd make.

 

[zora]

Hairy Bikers' sausage casserole bubbling on the hob, inspired by enthusiastic reviews further upthread.

Eta: Just tasted a spoonful of sauce, and OMG, it's filthy.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Rolled pork with apricot stuffing, roast potatoes and creamed leeks

 

[Me76]

Rib eye steak, chips, mushrooms and onion gravy.

 

[BoatieBird]

You definitely need to save some to have with coleslaw.

Another vote for pork with slaw.

I decided to put my foot down and we had it with jacket spuds and coleslaw.

I rubbed it with cayenne, cumin, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt, and cooked it on a bed of onion & garlic. I used ginger ale for the liquid, although I'm not sure if it added anything. I wanted to do it in proper firey spicy ginger beer, but I couldn't get hold of any. Maybe next time.
Clean plates all round - a definite winner

 

[gentlegreen]

Can of fried aubergine.
cheese and crackers.
