I cooked extra rice last night so that we can use it tonight to make egg fried rice with veggies. It's so quick and easy, it's become one of my favourite week night meals 
What's for tea tonight? (#8)

If you're feeling super-lazy, those microwaveable pouches of rice are good for stir-frying too.

Nah I don't like the taste of the microrice pouches. I always use left over rice because if I cook the rice and try to fry it straight away it just ends up a gloopy mess...

That's because the hot rice is still giving out steam, adding a lot of moisture to the process.

(((zora))) could you have something quicker tonight and the sausage casserole tomorrow?
Nah, it's alright, I was just whining for effect
Thanks for hugs. Home at last, might have a slice of toast to see me through. Got the day off tomorrow so no early bedtime, I can spend the whole evening pootling about in the kitchen with Great British Bake-Off on the iPlayer in the background. Life is not all bad.

worked it out now!
I had my most face ready meal...it's a simple pasta with tomato sauce from Waitrose but is so melty yummy. I have it at least once a week at work with a huge salad and always think 'I could live on this'.

Have you got any left, Bee?!?
You almost definitely MUST have!
You can make pea and ham soup tomorrow!
Quick/easy and really, really nice...I just slowly cooked some onion, then added a couple of new potatoes (smallish...just to thicken really) and some weak veg stock powder (if your gammon's still quite salty...and you can always add more flavouring afterwards if not) then shit loads of frozen petit pois once the potatoes were soft and when they'd had their 3/4 minutes blended it with a bit of milk and lots of black pepper then reheated with some chopped gammon...YUMMY!

I went to Bodean's in Soho last night. Ate enough ribs, burnt ends and pulled pork to kill a smaller person. Suffering today though

But... tonight is gammon, egg and chips
I took a photo it looked so good
Not bad for £4 either, it'll do a fair few meals and maybe a sarnie or two too.

I've just taken some ragu out of the freezer so tonight's tea will be either spag bol, or I might do a pasta bake with it.

I'm considering a pasta bake too, with aspergers & mushrooms. What with the moussaka last week & this I seem to be cooking vegetarian meals from the 70's I never cooked when I was a veggie. I can't actually remember how to do a pasta bake, so will have to Giggle it.

Cook pasta, mix with sauce (and veg etc.), top with cheese (or cheese sauce if you cba), bake in oven.

Similar to mac cheese. Except I use half bechamel, cream, cheese and a couple of egg yolks for the sauce. Fry off any meat/onions/peppers/veg before hand. Or if you want to go for a tomato based sauce you can just use a passata.
It's the fella's birthday today, so on his request, I am going to make a mahoosive veggie tagine. There will be aubergines, courgettes, onions, peppers, garlic, chickpeas, spuds, tomatoes, fresh coriander, dried apricots, stock, paprika and loads of harissa paste in it. Fucking nom Will serve with plain couscous.
Big ole triple choccy birthday cake for afters, complete with candles
The cooking of the above will almost certainly be accompanied by the beautiful tones of the Ozark Appalachian dulcimer that we got him for his pressy

I dunno wtf the present is, soj...but the dinner sounds lovely!
Bee....I took a picture of a meal I had in Berlin, mainly cos it looked so fucking rank ...we went to the GDR museum, then to the GDR restaurant next door and I decided I *had* to go for an authentic GDR dinner, so I plumped for boiled pork knuckle with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes and a big helping of mustard. It looked as you'd expect it to but tasted much better ...although I'm still not quite sold on sauerkraut (my mum reckons it's an acquired taste)...
My son's uploaded them onto this pc but I can't find where, atm
...will try and remember to post it up later...
Anyway...tonight we're having chinese style chicken wings (and I made the marinade and dumped them in it before work this morning, so should be relatively easy now ) with baked sweet potato wedges and psb.
Probs more lemon curd yoghurt for pudding.

I would love to see that, Sheo. It reminds me of the time (and I never tire to tell that story) I was in Berlin with golightly and mango5. We went to the revolving restaurant in the television tower (which was amazing, decor like a Bond villain lair and going round and round high up above Berlin) and mango5 ordered the stuffed cucumber thinking it'd be a light lunch option and got served this marrow-sized hollowed out cucumber stuffed with a ginormous meat loaf.
