The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part II - Don't quote pics!

MissFlitworth

We've got one of each gender in my house and we do steak & salad a good bit, or a warm steak salad (which sounds the same as steak and a salad but is different I tell ya) or steak with a side of grean beans or creamed spinach. Or steak cut into strips & stir fried with veg.


Cottage pie tonight. Potentially with green beans if I can convince myself to take the 5 second walk out to the garden shed freezer

(Oh!! and a big fat glass of Albarino)

Edit: ended up topping the cottage pie with lots of strong cheddar and eating it with several large spoonfuls of mustard. Feel a bit high on comfort food right now!

Green beans or spinach is ok, I was talking rabbit food side salad which would be like having a glass of champagne with a dry cream cracker !

Gloomtastic!

Watching Food and Drink last night reminded me we had a haggis in the freezer. So made Haggis Ravioli tonight with asparagus wrapped in bacon, garlic bread bites and salad.

Bambi burgers with fried onions, brie and tomato between cheese and chive focaccia bread I made earlier.

Proper big juicy mince burgers with plenty of cheese throughout which melted perfectly. They were scrumptious.

Tonight I wasn't very hungry or bothered about cooking so I just threw a load of chicken and veg (peppers, onion, peas and mangetout) into the pan with an Amoy sweet and sour sauce. Very lazy but actually quite tasty and light!

beertons

Chicken & chorizo pie. Just fab. Had it with mash, peas and carrots. Will have it with salad for tomorrow and friday.

Oh don't get me wrong, I normally cook proper meals from scratch, I just faffed around last night until it was too late to start to cook anything decent so I ended up grabbing some junk from the freezer.

(Twas actually pretty tasty!)

Just had a very tasty dinner. Boiled some noodles. Chopped and fried half an onion, half a pepper and 3 rashers. Once the noodles were done, I threw them into the frying pan for a minute while I mixed them in with the onions, peppers and rashers. I then mixed in some sweet chilli sauce. It was so simple, yet so good!

Gloomtastic!

Had the afternoon off today so went on a curry cooking session.....

Chicken Tikka Masala using Aldi's in a jar sauce.
Courgette Curry which was excellent and will be cooked again

Leftover roast spuds diced and fried with onion and curry powder then added spinich and chilli.
Indian flatbreads

Used up so many pots and pans I transferred everything into takeaway trays and did the washing up early. Told the kids I'd ordered it in.

Had this a couple of nights ago but actually remembered to take a photo. Pea and mint soup with bacon bits and a poached egg.
