What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Looby]

that sounds well fit tbh, hope you topped it with cheese

Maybe a smidge of Parmesan which I'd forgotten about. : o

Fucking hell, I'm ashamed!

 

[Thimble Queen]

Fuck the diet we're not in January anymore

 

[Voley]

Oooh! I did not know that. I just found loads online, maybe I'll get some.

Here it is with ham, in jelly.

Woah.

 

[colacubes]

That pic should have spoiler tags

 

[Voley]

 

[idumea]

Chicken kiev (a most manifestly not lovingly handmade one )
Broccoli
Big glass of full fat Jersey cow's milk to go with it.

Ok. Last night I had chips and rice and curry sauce. Stodgemeister city.

Tonight, now that i have a NEW BLENDER! I'm going to attempt the spicy bean soup Sans coriander. Cos I don't have any.

OK. FUCK THIS SHIT. No more cooking for me. Since coming on here everything has just gone totally wrong. I went and got the new blender and thought I'd make a nice chilli bean soup with cheesy garlic bread. So I cook the stuff on the hob, all going well, I have to cool it and give it a whizz in the blender, which I do, takes 10 seconds. I don't understand how SOUP can blow the top off the fricking blender getting tomatoes and shit all over the worktop, but hey, lesson learned. Hold the damn top on. So I take the top off and try to get the jug off the blender to pour it back in the pan, but its stuck, so I try and wrench it off and in doing so somehow knock it onto high and the FUCKING THING SPLATS SOUP ALL OVER ME, MY KITCHEN, MY LAPTOP, THE FLOOR, THE FRICKING WALLS I'm so pissed off

I'm not coming on this thread again. I can't even read the start of this sentence cos there's still tomato on the laptop screen. From now on, what I am having for dinner is:

Takeaways
Oven food
Toast
Alcohol and drugs

Good bye

 

[Orang Utan]

Wrongsausages, mash, buttery leeks

Blenders should have idiot warnings on telling people to only fill them up a quarter to account for centrifugal force.
Or better still, fill levels.

 

[Thimble Queen]

the moroccany chicken thing with couscous was well yum

 

[kittyP]

Calories. I mean, I knew cheese had calories obviously, but I'd kind of talked myself into the idea that it couldn't be that many, just a bit of grated cheese etc etc.

Oh Yu-Gi give yourself a break honey. You are fucking gorgeous x x

I was just about to say that the last time I tried to blend a soup I covered myself and the kitchen in burning hot soup.
I think the idea is to let it cool first, blend and then re-heat, I think.

I am attempting a leek and potato soup tonight that also will need blending
Well, it's following a leek and potato recipe but has broccoli, carrots and a whole bulb of garlic in too as things were on the turn.

Fingers crossed.

I am one of those idiots

 

[Orang Utan]

Me too. And one would think one would learn not to do it again. not so.

 

[kalidarkone]

I'm SO excited about my tea and fucking ravenous as I have just come back form aerobics. I'm cooking Chicken, mustard and almond risotto-fat free and with half fat crem fraiche-ok not fat free but no oil or butter. Gonna have it with green salad leaves and mushy peas...is a complete experiment!!!

I DID IT!!!

I just did the whole pan in one go with a hand blender. A few spaltters on my apron but other than that, fine.
I am so glad I put so much cumin and garlic in it.
It's delicious!!!

 

[May Kasahara]

Prawn and veg stir fry with a small amount of noodles.

 

[Espresso]

Three hot cross buns, slathered with butter.
Tea of champions.

Penne with bacon, garlic, broccoli & leerdammer again. Followed by a rhubarb yoghurt

 

[zenie]

Langoustine's!!! Look at you!? I have not had them since my dad BBqed them in France when I was about 8

 

[ringo]

Did my first ever pilaf - lemon and thyme, chicken and mushroom. It was nice but not very interesting on its own

Baked tatties tonight.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Some kind of green chicken and vegetable curry with buckwheat noodles for tea here.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Dunno yet.. prob something fairly simple... we has pancetta, mushrooms and pizza bases so maybe that...

 

[colacubes]

Mushroom and serrano ham risotto to use up odds and ends in the fridge.

 

[aqua]

hopefully wine, and lots of it - is dependent on a colleague not having driven to work this morning - waiting for them to tell me if they remembered to get the train or not

1. check the blender lid is well on, tightly screwed in

2. put a fucking teatowel over the top of it, preferably folded over a few times - jam the fucker over the top, the poury bit, the lot, and keep tight hold with hand

3. blend


I blend boiling hot stuff and this works ^

I wouldn't blend a bean soup though - you'd lose out on the lovely chunky beans in your mouth


Tonight's tea is either spanish omelette and couscous (cos I couldn't be arsed doing it the other night) or baked spuds, melty Lancashire cheese, and beans.

 

[idumea]

I've got two really nice pieces of salmon from the fishmonger in the fridge. One for tonight and one for lunch tomorrow. Served with....broccoli.
