What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Frances Lengel]

i dont really understand tbh. surely as long as its cooked it doesn't matter? im not the sort of person who would plan well enough to take meat out of the freezer the night before!

As long as it is properly cooked through then you're right, it won't matter.

Corn beef hash for me anyway.

So, I went out last night, cos it was St Georges day, and Molloys were doing 50% off food. So I'm all like YEAH!

Get down there and it's normally £5.75 for a pie and drink. So I order the beef and bacon pie, with a pint, expecting to save a quid or whatever. Turns out there's no beef and bacon, only steak and ale, fine, but also, cos they have to do the drink and pint seperately to save the money, it's now £5.97 so I'm like, blank the discount just give me it for normal price. Guys like 'I just work here'

So I had a overcrusty hard pie, mash that was made out of black hole material (i.e weighed infinitely more than it's volume suggested) and gravy that was thinner than water. For more than it would have cost normally. And it wasn't even the pie I wanted.

So tonight, it's gonna be......I don't know yet. BK or homemeade burgers, something I know where I am with.

Fishcakes which I think were smoked haddock and I wasn't sure I liked on first tasting but were actually really need, boiled/fryed charlotte potatoes, and a green salad. All rather healthy til I got to the banoffee pie. Pink wine.

Pink wine season?

Biggest pork chop I have ever seen with mini roast potatoes (I cut it in half to have the rest for lunch tomorrow!) Greek girl where I live cooked it for me, they're amazing in size and from Dombeys in Brixton apparently.

I don't think I have ever eaten a pork chop

Yesterday was a fasting day so I had an M&S veggie moussaka for tea, which was surprisingly tasty and satisfying.
Normal eating day today (I must stop thinking of them as 'eat what you like days' ) and happily we've got some steak that needs eating.
So steak and (oven) chips, grilled mushrooms and a big pile of rocket salad.

I think 'Overall - 7/10" is going to be my new tagline, my new motto, my new outlook on life, my new philosophy even. binka is my guru, basically.

Either unspeakable aeroplane food, or a pre-flight KFC for tea tonight. Or maybe I'll hedge my bets and have both.

You on your way back over here then?

Yes! For a month!

Yes! For a month!

Blimey. Just enough time to get over that whole reverse culture shock thing.

Either veggie pizza or veggie sausages... veggie sausage pizza?!

Ended up having spicy veg (courgettes and peppers) with chickpeas and couscous. Made a spicy yoghurt dip to go on top. Nice x

Ah, been looking for decent lamb chops, but my local places and the supermarket ones are tiny. Do they do Barnsley chops? I had one in The Eagle in Farringdon and have been dreaming about it ever since

ETA: Just realised you were talking about pork chops. As you were.

Then I'm going to send them photos of it so they can see what they're bloody missing

I think they do so worth a visit. Fyi they're shut on Sunday and Monday.

 

[Biddlybee]

Where are they?

 

[colacubes]

Market Row. About half way down on the left if you're coming from Electric Lane.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself Mushroom Risotto. And peas!

 

[aqua]

I made the best fish pie last night and I made two, so we have the other for tea tonight too was fucking lovely

 

[Yetman]

BK tonight. Keep missing it but tonight I have the perfect excuse. I have to drive past it

 

[sojourner]

I never really took to pork chops. Just not that mad on pork really.

Anyway, lazy tea tonight - pay day so we're on wiiiine, pizza, garlic bread, and salad! Think I'll jazz up the pizza with mushrooms, pesto, a sweet pepper and some extra mozzarella too

 

[Callum91]

Some toasted soda bread and home made strawberry jam. Just had half the loaf for lunch, best toast I've ever probably had, it was cloud like inside but toasted just enough on the outside. The jam is made from the strawberries I grow in hanging baskets, delicious!

Not sure about tonight got some friends over for tea so better decide soon! x

Yep, went a bit mad and got a packet of mixed mushrooms - porcini, shitake and sommat else. Got a ball of fresh mozzarella, plus one vine tomato, and a few not-very-hot chillis, and will also put some basil and oregano on top

 

[Thimble Queen]

Think I might make a sausage bake or a sausage and lentil stew... I know it's not very summery but it's deffo tasty

 

[colacubes]

Wine and chips
