No, they don't.

I don't usually buy the scoops, actually, 'cos they're too big for one person to get through, but I did buy rather too much last week, and now I've just chucked half of it out.

 

[idioteque]

I just made the delightful concoction of spaghetti with king prawns in a chilli tomato and rocket sauce. Yum.

My BF took me out to dinner as a thank you for driving him on a 55 mile round trip this evening. We went out to Ask! which is a Italian chain. We ordered marinated olives, penne pasta with roasted tomatoes, chilli and artichoke and pizza with courgette, green beans, onions and peppers with a mixed salad and shared it between us. It was very nice....

I like Ask, it's one of the better chains.

We had pizza and salad too but ours was from the reduced bit in Sainsbury.

[sojourner]

King prawns with birds eye chillis and peppers, and egg noodies

Well this was stunning


The sudden rear end explosion I suffered 3 hours later was stunning in an altogether less pleasing way however Think the prawns were off



Tonight - spaghetti carbonara with bacon and mushrooms

 

[crustychick]

last night was roasted butternut squash and red onion pasta with toasted pumpkin seeds (no tomatoes) and it was delicious...

tonight will be some kind of salad with walnuts in

 

[Biddlybee]

No barbie last night, just spuds and coleslaw

So tonight might have to be roasted/grilled chicken legs with something, something quick and easy... maybe pasta? or cous cous.

 

[Cheesypoof]

last night was sushi, and hors doevres with bellinis.

tonight is pasta tubes with sour cream and pesto, with alaskan pollock.

 

[Badgers]

Dunno, possibly beer and soup or something...

 

[Y_I_Otter]

Pork paprikash, späzele, peas'n'carrots, green salad.

 

[Biddlybee]

Pork paprikash, späzele

What are those two?

 

[Y_I_Otter]

What are those two?

Paprikash is a Hungarian method for cooking mostly meats, but mushroom paprikash is nice too. Basically you brown some onions and garlic, add browned meat, then stock, then fistfulls of paprika, which is the predominant flavour and thickens the sauce somewhat. The paprika has to be the Eastern European kind (not Spanish) and it has to be fresh or things get unpleasantly bitter.

Späzele are a kind of fresh German/Austrian egg pasta. You make the dough, place it on a wooden board and over a pot of boiling stock or water, you flick bits of it in, a little at a time. At least that's the way I do it; there's a press-like thing that you can put the dough into that extrudes the dough through little holes, but I've never felt the need for one. The finished product is rather like a zillion little dumplings that you toss in butter and ladle the paprikash over top of. Späzele are nice with goulash as well.

 

[Biddlybee]

Oooh, that sounds nice, the paprikash, I did have a Hungarian recipe book, but left it at my old flat. Is Eastern European paprika very different to other kinds then?

 

[Y_I_Otter]

I think it is. I've tried paprikash with the Spanish kind and it didn't taste right. Worse, far worse, is using paprika that's old. Best to get it from a Romanian or Hungarian shop where the stock turnover is high.

 

[dolly's gal]

left over chinese from the weekend. hope it hasn't gone off or owt

 

[ScallyWag II]

I'm having seafood linguine tonight. Not had it for a while so looking forward to it
