What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Maggot]

Feel a bit down but its my own fault

What's happened?

 

[Zorra]

Late tea of burgers which were good, slightly rubbish chips, eaten in the garden with a firebowl to appreciate and its Friday so all pretty damn good.

Last night was nada, MrShakes was meant to make pasta with tomato sauce I’d taken out of the freezer mixed with some red pepper sauce but he went off on a drunken tangent and made some grim bean thing for himself and just chucked th e pepper sauce in a pan for me and it was urrrgghhh. Leaving the bombsite of a kitchen for me to clean as he staggered off to bed.

Going for Nepalese tonight.

SO making a roast today. No cooking for me plus a roast dinner.

Roast was great, think new vape is a little stronger than I expected as after a full roast where I had half a chicken I then demolished a whole cheesecake and had a pizza....

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Roast pork.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Not sure at all. Had a large breakfast so not feeling like thinking about food.

It's mad innit! When you have that I'll-never-eat-again feeling after a heavy meal, and then the hunger pangs arrive later without you noticing.

 

[sojourner]

Aloo palak, mushroom bhaji, garlic and sesame seed roasted broccoli, naan, dollop of Skyr and some aubergine pickle.

Vanilla slices and a brew.

 

[mrsfran]

Sourdough toasties done in the panini press. Ham, mixed cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes and wholegrain mustard. With sweet potato fries and ketchup.

 

[Epona]

I'm vaguely contemplating a chicken curry, but since I haven't got started yet, that might be a bit ambitious.
If I don't cook that, I'll have some mushroom and cream pasta instead.

 

[cesare]

Turkey, sweet potato and red pepper curry with loads of fresh chillis with rice.

Enough left for breakfast yay

 

[Maggot]

Stew with sweet potato, spinach, chickpeas and radiatori pasta. Added some marmite which really improved it.

 

[May Kasahara]

Salmon, new potatoes and green beans/broccoli.

Found the time and energy for a chicken curry with some plain basmati. It was delicious, I don't cook curry often enough because it can be a bit of faff sometimes and I have to be in the right mood for it.
Used the same base sauce and separated half of it out before adding meat to mine so I can do a fish version for OH tomorrow adding some basa and spinach, also cooked extra rice so I can do mushroom fried rice to go with that and my leftover chicken curry tomorrow.

 

[sojourner]

Just off out for a very wet hike, so cooked up a vat of chana dal for later, which we'll have with roast spiced cauli, naan, Skyr, aubergine pickle.

Own bodyweight in chocolate afterwards.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Roast chicken, potatoes, parsnips, peas

 

[May Kasahara]

We've got a pork fillet for today. Not sure of serving as it's Mr K's turn to cook. However, I will be making a plum crumble for dessert

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Cod with spuds and veg.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Pasta with asparagus sauce from the freezer, I made a batch a while ago, when the reduced section was stuffed with 20p bunches of asparagus.
I'm going to oven roast some green beans to mix in with it.

 

[sojourner]

Stir fry! Baby corn, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, edamame beans, onions, garlic,chilli, ginger and a fuckton of dark soy sauce. Will put brown rice in rather than noodles, because I can eat it faster

The fella's made a key lime pie, so a big fat slice of that for afters.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Mince with spuds and veg.

 

[furluxor]

I think I'm going to roast some potato, red onion, summer squash and tofu. If I have the energy, I'll make some kind of a dip/sauce to go with it.

Beastly! But Nepalese food really is a cure for all hurts.

 

[mrsfran]

Vegetarian chorizo and butterbean stew, and couscous.

 

[Numbers]

Rare opportunity in East Yorks for proper Caribbean served curried goat!

Looks lovely but.. no peas in the rice

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Final batch of slimy spaghetti bolognese. Time to give that a couple of months rest or maybe make it with meatballs to change it up.

 

[Aladdin]

Beer Battered Cod and chips.

 

[Epona]

Creamy mushroom and courgette pasta with garlic bread.

Feels very appropriate for late summer/early autumn.

 

[story]

I had:

Venison steak with blueberry sauce (leeks, garlic, thyme, olive oil, blueberries, juniper berries)
Wilted spinach
Asparagus (oven roasted)
Chicken-of-the-woods

A glass of good red wine

An Eccles cake (warmed up) with Stilton
Rooibosch tea

Some rum



And I’ve had it two nights running because I live alone and and you get two venison steaks in a pack.

Plenty of CotW left over too.

Just discovered what chicken of the woods are . Marvelously educating this forum.

It’s not only tasty but it also has the similar texture and mouth feel to real chicken. And it freezes well.

Personally, I think there are other mushrooms that have better flavour but I’m always glad to have CotW.
