What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Orang Utan]

i really fancy an orange oven tea tonight

 

[madzone]

Some rank pasta bake from Tesco, garlic bread and salad. Can't cook won't cook.

 

[Badgers]

Got some nice Cyprus potatoes from the fruit/veg shop in Herne Hill. Not sure if they are well suited to baking but are in the oven cooking.

The obvious choice is cheese (ON FIRST OF COURSE) and beans but have other options:

A whole roast BBQ chicken
Some big mushroom (garlic/butter maybe)
Tiger prawns
Tuna

Hard to decide ^

Have salad for the side.

 

[aqua]

tonight was using things up - so we had a kind of beef bourguignon, with mash spuds and veggies - was fucking lush

 

[Badgers]

Kept it real, cheese and beans

 

[Orang Utan]

what with?
my tea is shameful. not even sure i should admit what it is

 

[mrsfran]

We had burgers, oven chips and posh baked beans (a tin of blackeye beans mixed with some passata).

 

[Littlelostlamb]

I had cheese n pickle sarnie, followed by lardy cake and thee choc muffins. And a few nuts for good measure

 

[Orang Utan]

ooh everyone is having lazy unhealthy teas - i don't feel too bad about mine:
a garlic bread with cheese
a pizza with mozz and pesto
5 butter toffee cookies
5 white chocolate cookies
salad and grapes

What oven chips do you use? I have yet to find any that are edible.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Haggis, mashed spuds, carrots, peas & onion gravy.

the only ones i like are home made ones, which are piece of piss to make

My husband used to make proper chips but I'm scared of chip pans.

 

[Orang Utan]

no, home made oven chips

 

[moomoo]

no, home made oven chips

How do you make them then?

Waitrose, of course

Actually, they were the first pre-made (frozen) oven chips I've had in a very long time. They weren't a patch on my own, which are so easy to make (peel potato, cut into chips, toss in oil and salt, bake for 20 mins) I don't really see the point in frozen ones. I won't be rushing to finish off the bag.

the same way miss fran does it, but i sometimes dust them with paprika first

 

[krtek a houby]

Mash potato with celery and garlic. Gammon and portobella mushroom smothered in white sauce. I am stuffed.

Thank you. I'll give them a go.

 

[mrsfran]

You don't even have to peel the potato, tbh.

 

[feyr]

cheese, onion and oatcakes

 

[Biddlybee]

Best steak in london, oh yeah!

They're nice with cumin too.

 

[AndyFilo]

I've failed to cook liver and bacon for the last two nights. Yesterday neither of the supermarkets near me had lamb's liver and today after buying it from the butcher, I ended up going to the pub and coming back too late to start cooking anything.

I'm definitely doing it tomorrow.

 

[Orang Utan]

where?

 

[Biddlybee]

Santa Maria Del Sur... highly recommended!

 

[Orang Utan]

i pass that every day - lots of people have been gushing about it. is it pricy?

 

[Biddlybee]

erm, not too bad if you don't add wine but if you like steak then it's well worth a stop - the chef knows what he's doing - and Argentinian cows don't half taste good!

Go on payday (or the day you get your redundancy pay out );.

 

[Badgers]

I had one jacket potato left over last night.
It was left in the cooker overnight, will I die?

 

[sojourner]

Yes bajjy you will

Not sure what's for tea tonight. Possibly pasta and sauce of some kind though - either pesto or LG tom n basil, with the obligatory black olives and parmesan
