What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Part 2]

Chip Barm thanks for posting that recipe. Aubergines are one of those things that I feel I should like more, iyswim, but their natural life cycle in my house is always buy - sit in fridge for three weeks till mouldy - throw away. Perhaps I will give that pasta sauce a whirl.

I'd also recommend Caponata. Yotam's recipe is good as is Antonio Carluccio's. It's beautiful served hot, warm or straight from the fridge. I want to go to Sicily just to eat it.

That sounds nice and easy.

It was very easy and quick. I'd forgotten we had mozzarella last night so before I put it in I added some raw egg to the pot and stired it into the pasta and courgette mix. It sounds weird but it was yum.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A pound of Cumberland sossidges with something I've not decided yet.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Caponata is lovely ...(I've only ever done the Jamie Oliver one http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/incredible-sicilian-aubergine-stew-caponata )

Should be the veg soup today but I still have loads of chinese left ...although that'll prob all be gone by lunch time, tbf

 

[sojourner]

Gonna get takeaway! Chinese probably. Veggie chow mein, and mushroom in green pepper and blackbean sauce. Fucking lush

 

[Thimble Queen]

Think we're gonna check the veggie and vegan cafe in the villaaaaaage tonight.... oh just realised it's closed

 

[foamy]

It was going to be a cheese picnic with my sister in law whilst watching an outdoor Shakespeare play (ugh, most middle class sentence ever!) but we have both bailed so something rummaged from the freezer and using up the creme Fraiche, creamy smoked salmon and broccoli pasta?

 

[Cheesypoof]

spaghetti and meatballs (from the supermarket butchers in a tomato sauce). I added two chopped tomatoes

 

[Biddlybee]

I don't know. Have lots of veg, so could do veggie pasta but that would mean effort, getting up and doing the washing up

Wtf is that on the top?

I'm massively pissed off as I'm meant to be going out tonight but my ancient knee injury is suddenly flaring up. So a cheer up takeaway, probably pizza but possibly curry. Hmmm

No offense Firky but I've been away from urban for a long time and it really takes being away to realize how sad it's become.

Everyone says that when they've been away for a while. It's sad, it's dull, it's boring, it's really changed. Bit of a cliché, really.

You sure took that seriously.

 

[TruXta]

Veggie chili in Casa Trux. Made sure to spice it up properly.

Just an observation. It would be nice if someone came back with a bit more pazazz.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Chicken soup and rice.

With salad.

It is up there in the top 10 of great dishes.

Delicious.

You've inspired me - got some prawns in the freezer so will have that tomorrow, with garlic and chilli.
