What's for tea tonight? (#8)
- Thread starter aqua
- Start date
And for pudding - trifle, made by my mum, which is the undisputed world heavyweight champion of trifles
That is a bold claim to make as my mamas trifle reigns supreme. Well, I say "trifle" due to her hand disability and the difficulty she has holding and pouring the booze it is more like a thick sherry cocktail with cake, cream, jelly and fruit
I had falafel in Moroccan style flat breads, with red pepper, beetroot salad and houmous.
Mini magnum for pudding.

I had a prawn tom yum thingy from Sainsburys.
Not too bad at all, at least it had plenty of oomph.
I'm now having a cup of decaf black coffee - woo, go me
Ooooh I love tom yum.
I am actually not hungry.
Think I'm going to have a nice plungy coffee instead and have the salmon tomorrow as I'm fasting then too.

we could have a 'no-holds-barred all star mum's trifle smackdown' though. Mums' trifles are proper badass

I would invite you to try some of my nanas but as she has 6 kids, 6 children in law, 12 grandchildren, 6 grandchildren in law, 5 great grandchildren and one very greedy husband I don't think there'd be any left for you, sorry
A sort of fish cake/tortilla. It is actually very nice, but nobody else seems to want to partake.

What goes in these wonder-trifle's? I do a good one, but I'm always looking to raise the bar a notch or two

and had chicken in a white wine, tarragon and cream sauce, with spuds and veg. Was a bit rushed, as I'm also cooking for my mum these days and have to run a plated up dinner down the street every night before I get to taste mine. Could have used a less dry wine or added a bit of sugar if I had the time to stop, taste and think

take me to the feeling
We had pulled pork wraps in the end, with peppers and red onion fried in chipotle sauce, plus lime yoghurt. And wedges <greedy>
Tonight, it will be whatever is the least amount of effort, plus booze.

In a bid to get my health & enthusiasm levels up again, we will be having some kind of tofu & veg stir fry I think, with rice. Need the protein & health points atm.

There are some spicy pork steaks in the fridge that need using up so it looks like we're having those for tea tonight.
Don't really fancy potatoes tonight so I might do some couscous for a change.
I think I've also got some halloumi that needs using so I'll grill that along with the pork and add it to the couscous along with cherry toms (we're getting loads of these from the garden atm and they are delicious), cucumber, spring onion and some lightly cooked french beans.

Slow cooked lamb shoulder with honey & balsamic drizzle - from M & S reduced to clear so not my title before you think I'm a poncy git. 
Will have some salad stuff with it - spring onions, cherry toms and orange pepper with it I think.

My MIL does a good trifle too and her ingredients are pretty similar, but she always puts toasted flaked almonds on the top - adds a lovely crunch to the mix of textures.

This recipe is good and you can leave off stuff like saffron and anything else you don't have / like
