What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Shirl]

Roast lamb, boulangere potatoes, corrots and cavolo nero. I'm starving but our neighbour is coming at 7pm to borrow a mask, an item of military clothing, a leather jacket and some tweed. We have to wait until he's gone before we eat. (we haven't got a mask and I don't know why he thinks we would have)

 

[Badgers]

After the frozen/potato/HulaHoop snack I did a useshituppasta for dinner.

Some Poundland fusilli pasta cooked in a ham stock.

A large tomato, half a leek, garlic, handful of spinach, dash of Encona and 200g of Stilton that was best before 19/09. All blanched and mixed in with the hammy stock pasta.

Delicious

Boyfriend won't be back for a few hours so in an attempt at distracting myself I am now smoking a pepper to see what happens.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Roast chicken with garlic and thyme, roast potatoes, sprouts, peas, gravy and polenta & pancetta stuffing. Then apple crumble and cream!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

But....I can't remember whether I froze the apple crumble cooked or un-cooked. Hmmm!

 

[miss direct]

Yeah this is a great thread. Inspires me and helps me to show how pathetic my daily diet usually is.
Here's my baba ganoush and salad so far.

 

[Biddlybee]

I really want a roast, especially Shirl's with those potatoes.

But, tonight is chilli, runner beans and a big hunk of baguette.

Last night had freezer foraged beef and mushroom stroganoff with mash and runner beans

Is it golden on top?

 

[Greebo]

A very chunky chicken, veg, black eyed pea, and lentil soup.

 

[miss direct]

I haven't had a Sunday roast for ages. I might do one next week. Mmmm. I even have custard powder so could do a crumble as well.

 

[twentythreedom]

Awesome, just spoke to my mum, she's got a shoulder of lamb and all the trimmings that needs eating

 

[Treacle Toes]

Roasted veg, green fiery salad, brushetta.

 

[RedDragon]

a pasty

That looks great, miss direct! I love baba ganoush, though it went horribly wrong when I tried to make it some time ago.

The moussaka was absolutely delish - I was a bit doubtful about the recipe because apart from salt and pepper there's only one other spice used, but it's amazing how much this one cinnamon stick infuses the whole dish. Had no ricotta so replaced with cottage cheese and that worked fine.

Inspired/reminded me to try and make a bobotie soon. Biddlybee - didn't we have plans a few years ago for a bobotie cook off? Or was it whoever'd get round to making it first would invite the other round? Maybe I can make and bring round to yours sometime this autumn.

 

[miss direct]

Still haven't eaten...boyfriend decided he'd prefer to go out drinking with his friend than come home to a nice dinner. Lost my appetite now

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Is it golden on top?

Yes. We think it was cooked so are going for 20 mins at 170 and see how that goes

Is this the same guy you had issues with before?
Or am I misremembering people?

 

[zora]

Aw miss direct, that sucks! Maybe you can celebrate your badass ganoush making skillz by tucking into it anyway, knowing the urbs teatime thread is there with you in spirit? Hope your appetite returns. x

 

[miss direct]

Yeah...
I ate anyway. It was nice. I never really bother to cook properly when it's just me.
Clearly my cooking (and me) aren't good enough motivations to come home.

Eat it all, then should he enquire about it later when he comes in a few pints deep, he can go do one.

 

[miss direct]

I told him to stay at his friend's house as he is clearly more interested in him than me...
there's no way I can eat all the chilli....I'm guessing the cats outside won't want it because of the spices?

 

[Maggot]

I made a kind of toad in the hole with roast onions and peppers instaed of sausages, roast broccoli cheese, roast potatoes and carrots.

 

[kittyP]

Roasted pumpkin with left over saag.

Ooooh nice.

Can you freeze some?

 

[miss direct]

No...my freezer is tiny (top few cm of my fridge) and doesn't work properly.

 

[pogo 10]

Fishcakes and chips, a mars bar and tescos cherry pie.

 

[Hellsbells]

No...my freezer is tiny (top few cm of my fridge) and doesn't work properly.

I'm sure it'll be ok in the fridge for a couple of days.

 

[miss direct]

Hmmm I'm not sure...it's already been in there for a few days (the chilli).
