What's for tea tonight? (#8)

Chicken Tandoori Masala with chips.

Open house. No idea how many will show, but I'm cooking for 20 just in case. May Day (workers day - I'm not sure any working folk will show. There are not many jobs in these parts presently!).

In olive oil lightly fry a whole garlic, 5 onions with cumin seeds, 3 chillies, a few cardamon pods and a sprinkling of black peppercorns.

In a separate bowl mix 4 small cartons of yoghurt with loads of Tandoori spice. Add pre-cooked chicken pieces. Leave aside to marinade for as long as.

Back to (BIG) pan number 1. Add sliced carrots, red peppers and tomatoes. Boil hard for 30 minutes (adding an little water as needed) then simmer for as long as. Add fresh coriander occasionally and salt to taste. Throw in a handful of sultanas and a good chopped inch of lemon zest.

Wait to see who arrives before proceeding.
 
FFS! "9.30" I said. So far nobody has shown. €20 and 3 hours effort so far. This is the sort of company I keep :D

Slack Spanish time. Holiday. They're probably all dead on their feet by now.

Hold the chicken for another day. The vegetables will be better tomorrow :)
 
I ordered a kilo of live mussels with my Tesco shop...and for the fist time ever, I actually fucking RECEIVED them, too :D (along with some squid AND some herring milts! :eek: :cool: ) so I did moules mariniere with some nice fresh rolls for dunking (olive ciabatta for me and tiger bread for my boy)...it was fackin LUVERLY! :cool:

My daughter got back from her friend's after that so we each had another bit of her cake with some thick cream.

Fuck waiting, get stuck in and stuff your face
 
Improvised tagliatelle carbonara with chillis but using philly instead of eggs, as they give me a sore throat when undercooked.

Baked spuds and that. Last week Mrs R complained that I'd put the cheese on before the beans. This directly contravenes the 3 year period when I did the reverse, she complained about it, and then I tried the badger method™ and was converted. This appears to be an example of what is known as wimminsperogative. I have contacted the baked potato ombudsman and look forward to my day on the steps of Crown Court and what must only result in considerable disambiguation.

OMG :eek: She's a repeat offender. This has now gone to arbitration with a 90 day consultation period to follow.

By the way I'm also having sausage and mash :)

But I've got ASDA's own English mustard and also their Chef's special pork sausages (which arent that special, they're a bit shit really but still better than Walls or *spit* Richmond)
 
Sossidge. I have no potatoes and this makes my brain hurt. I think I'll roast some asparagus and mix it up with couscous, feta and harissa, but I may get told off for not having any potatoes. I do have carrot, but I think carrot deaphinoise might be pushing it a bit.

If I can't cook a meal which includes sossidge and not potatoes I'm hanging up me pinny, handing in me wooden spoon and living off pot noodles for the rest of me life.

There only exists three things. Sausage and mash, sausage sarnies and sausage casserole (to be served with mash). What you speak of is heresy and I urge the townsfolk to burn you at the stake this very eve :mad:
 
Toad in the hole with roast spuds, broccoli, and onion gravy. Might roast some carrots too.

And it's perfectly possible to cook that sort of thing on a 'school night' without resorting to Aunt Bessies, I hate those bloody adverts :mad:

There is also chopped up sossidge in sauce with pasta, but I'm not doing that either.

Brown the sausages and chop into bite sized pieces then add to a chilli & tomato sauce and serve with pasta (I suggest a robust shape of pasta for such a hearty sauce).
I also once made sausage chilli sort of by accident (long story) but it was really nice served with rice.

Reet, complete change of plan, cos I have had a mad fucking day and deserve some wine and meat. Fella's out playing a gig toneet, so I am on chilled white wine (can't remember the name, but it says on the label that it's 'soft, refined, and exotic' so I thought, yeh that's me all over that), and I just got a chorizo ring for the first time in aaaaages - gonna make me and our lass a chorizo/green pepper/potato frittata :cool: Will have with iceberg salad and couscous - phwoar!
