What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[QueenOfGoths]

Chilli and rice

 

[aqua]

Can I make potato croquettes with semolina? I don't have a food processor so it's a bastard making breadcrumbs

if you have unsliced bread just grate it x

 

[Biddlybee]

I don't. Does that mean semolina won't really work?

 

[aqua]

I don't. Does that mean semolina won't really work?

have no idea never use the stuff - can't think why it wouldn't tbh would just be cripsier

 

[sojourner]

The garlic breaded chicken was great, along with potatoes with loads of Dijon mustard & chives and some leftover homemade spinach and tomato curry.

I keep eating weird combinations of food his week, all of which have very strong flavours. Nearly 4 weeks since giving up 20+ years of daily spliffs (and baccy as I never smoked fags) - the taste buds are coming alive again and can't resist going for absolute taste overload. Love it. Tonight will be a mental hot curry

Are you not smoking weed at all now then?

I can't decide what to have tonight. Am mulling over arrabiata, but we had a tomatoey thing last night.

Are you not smoking weed at all now then?

Nope, not a sossidge. Much as I loved it I finally saw the bad shit it had done/was doing to me mentally. As soon as it stopped being a good thing I packed it in on the spot.

Cravings have mostly gone, but they were horrific for the first two weeks. Harder was getting out of the habit of smoking/being stoned all the time, you get so used to it that not being hammered is boring and too weird at first. First night out DJ'ing/partying was really odd, but in reality easier than I thought it would be.

Head much clearer already; feel more positive, upbeat, happy and sociable. Already less prone to anti-social 'not joining in', short term memory loss, foggy headed mornings, and feeling randomly low and/or short tempered. Mrs R thinks she's got a new bloke I'm well chuffed with myself

The huge lump of leftover xmas turkey is almost defrosted and I'm going to turn it into a couple of curries.

If you don't mind me asking, were you only smoking green, or other stuff?

 

[sojourner]

Think I'm just gonna get a takeaway now. Don't fancy arrabiata.

 

[ringo]

If you don't mind me asking, were you only smoking green, or other stuff?

Green for many years, solid for the last few months when I stopped being self sufficient. Never saw much difference between the two, preference to smoking green aside.

 

[Addy]

Not sure what were having, but I made fish pakora & onion bajhi's this afternoon because I fancied them.

 

[Biddlybee]

Well they weren't that great. Edible, but won't be doing it again

 

[renegadechicken]

Large chef's special kebab for me and a seafood pizza for Mrs Chicken -cannot be bothered to cook as i have done so all week and just want simple meat in bread whilst atrophying on the sofa in front of a brainless film (John dies at the end)

I had falafel & all the gubbins you expect in pitta bread.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Polenta tart with cherry tomatoes, cheese and onion. Rice salad. Chicken, mushroom and courgette in creamy garlic sauce. Mung bean hummus. Baba Ganesh. Veggies for dipping in the dip. Hope it's enough to go round.

 

[Badgers]

Pasta for late lunch.
Burger likely later.

 

[Looby]

Sounds lovely, Yu. : )

We'll be having something chickeny.

Probably with a cheats creamy mushroom sauce, with roast spuds and veg. I do have Philly though, so could do stuffed chicken breasts with roasted veg.

We also have a chocolate brownie pudding and vanilla ice cream if we're not too full.

 

[killer b]

Sourdough pizza tonight. Dough has been rising since last night. Not sure what to put on them yet, will see what takes my fancy on the market later.

 

[sheothebudworths]

We had a chinese last night and there's enough left over for a bit of grazing during the day and for my daughter to have for her dinner when she gets back...and we will have more of those haddock fishcakes with lots of veg.

 

[May Kasahara]

Cottage pie with whatever veg is around.

 

[killer b]

garlic mushrooms, ham & olives in the end.

 

[Biddlybee]

That looks lovely!

Carbonara tonight, maybe with a little ice cream for pud

 

[ringo]

Still full from cooking my mum a massive roast chicken so just leftover curry tonight before a massive night out playing tunes in Aldgate
