    I'm thinking of a slight variant on an old theme.

    I'm gonna get me some red-meat game - boar (wildsau / wildschwein), roe deer (reh), or some red deer (hirsch).

    I'm gonna turn it into burgers, with bacon and cheese on top.

    Serve with a side of spicy potato wedges.

    Then comes the big question. Veggies.

    I could do some boiled mixed veg (carrots, sprouts, peas, mayve some broc or some cauli...whatever...all just put in 1/2" of boiling salted water with a pinch of sugar...cover...cook for 3 mins).

    Or I could do a soup starter.
    Fench onion soup, perhaps.
    Or some red pepper, chilli and lime.

    So what will you have this evening? And who's doing the cooking (you, a parent/partner, or are you eating out?)

    I do all the cooking because I love to cook and hubby hates to cook. He's working tonight so it's just me and the kids. On the menu: Plain boiled basmati rice with crab curry and green beans with garlic.

    that sounds delicious, i'm a bit limited for the types of meat i can get in my local butcher so i think it will be steak with garlic butter and steamed veg or maybe thai green curry or a takeaway thai/indian am a bit sick of chinese.

    it will be me doing the cooking, have tried to teach my boyfriend how to cook but it doesn't ever taste the same (or maybe i'm just very fussy) so i cook and he cleans up afterwards, it works well.

    Not this evening, but for lunch I did a stir fried duck with noodles dish, which was damn tasty! :)

    Tonight, we're having raclette.

    Its a boring-sounding-but-surprisingly-good dinner.

    Boiled potatoes. Slices of raclette cheese to melt at the table in little melting pans with handles (hard to describe. google if you care) under a raclette grill, with onions/tomatoes/bacon/whatever to add to the little "melting platter". Pickles on the side, Swiss white wine (and black tea, if you like that type of thing) to wash it down.

    Hardest part of making the dinner....boiling the potatoes. How bad is that :)

    <edit>
    On a side note, I picked up a chunk of boar today, which I'm gonna spice over the next fortnight, then boil, and have as a cold meat for munchies and lunches and stuff. Well worth the wait.

    Normal service shall be returned on Tuesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    Heh. Herself had a craving for stroganoff last night, so I made that instead of having leftovers. Leftovers shall become lunch.

    Tonight....Picata Milanaise. Yum.

    I did google. That looks interesting. I think I might dig out the fondue set tonight.

    For me it's something quick and easy with minced beef. Probably burgers with spuds or chips.

    Mince, diced onion, egg, bread crumbs, cumin, coriander seeds. Season, mix, put in oven, relax.

    Well seeing as I will have about 15 mins before I have to run back out the door for night college it will probably be a bowl of cereal for me :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    Cinema this evening (plans changed...didn't go Monday), so its off to the local for chips, onion rings, burger and a pint of Arthur's.

    Hard to beat good, simple pub-grub every so often.
