On another thread I've confessed to a Fray Bentos steak and kidney tinned pie. As I have nothing else in the house there won't be anything with it, nor anything afterwards unless I splash some soya milk on some shredded wheat. After that I'm all out of ideas.
What will/did you eat tonight? Have I reason to be jealous?
|
A Salad Niçoise is planned I gather.
|
Hope so. Chicken roasted in the French style, with wine (actually the end of the New Year champagne) lemon, fennel (was supposed to be tarragon but the herb bed was bare), whole garlic and little potatoes in the pot. Some roasted parsnips and carrots, and two colours of braised cabbage to accompany.
Just me and the Beestlings to feed tonight, but there should be plenty left over.
|
As it's my second son's birthday tomorrow, he and his partner are joining us for roast topside with roasted veggies, sprouts and Yorkshire puds.; accompanied by a bottle of Peter Lehmann Barossa shiraz.
Haven't you got any frozen peas to go with the FBSKP, Crankcase? You need a bit of something green.
|
|
Chicken and roast potatoes with some sort of veg. Followed by a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk and an after dinner superking.
|
>> an after dinner superking.
>>
Is that a fag?
|
A bag of scratchings and both salted & dry roast peanuts ( free on the bar of my local ). Washed down with five pints of decent beer. Pudding was a double G & T x 2.
Might have two shredded wheat later, Asda blueberries on top with whole milk.
Built up a bit of a thirst in the gym this am, and got soaked dog walking, so hitting the pub at 3 with good company and a roaring fire was a no brainer. Expensive meal though, just over £20!
That was my Sunday lunch/ dinner
|
|
Lamb ragout with pasta and a couple of glasses of red wine
|
|
Just shoved a roast chicken in the oven, shortly to be followed by some Auntie Bessie's (tm) roast "potatoes" and whatever veg I can find in the freezer.
|
Couple of sandwiches and a bag of crisps.
Had the cooked meal at lunchtime - chicken, cauliflower, potato croquettes, and baked beans.
|
Now, I don't mind a bit of chicken. Accompanied by cauliflower and potato croquettes sounds pleasant enough. I don't mind a baked bean either. But I'd have thought they would be best kept away from the former ingredients.
Cauliflower with baked beans sounds potentially volatile. I'd urge you not to do anything too suddenly for the time being.

Well, no botty burps so far, and the only wind is outside. Blowing quite a gale it is.

Took The Lad back to Uni today so tradition demands lunch at Wetherspoon's, specifically the one Fiveways Childwall. Being a one big meal a day man tonight's repast will be oatcakes and Wensleydale at around 21:00.
Stil got a couple of cases of pelforth blonde to get through though, so enjoying a chilled beer right now.
|
Bit of a mix here. Kids had pizza and we had cannelloni.
Think I have a bottle of one of the badger beers left in fridge - will have that after the kids go to bed and Mrs B has left for work
|
|
Homemade pizza, chips and some salad. Nothing too exciting.
|
|
A small fillet steak topped with a fried egg with home made chips and fried mushrooms.
|
|
Slices of Goodfella's stonebaked thin margherita pizza, with tinned anchovies on top, dipped in tomato and lentil soup (Crank's recipe), followed by a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
|
Roast chicken, roast potatoes, parsnips, and Brussel sprouts plus gravy followed by (homemade) Apple crumble and custard.
All 5 of us round the table - a proper Sunday family meal!
|
|
Meatballs that have been simmering away in the slow cooker all day in a red wine, onion, garlic and mushroom sauce. Roast tatties, cauli and broccoli. Dessert, a 50p pineapple bought off the local market.
|
|
Just got back from climbing over the O2, followed by Moules and Frites, and Creme Brûlée with a Leffe Blonde at Cafe Rouge.
|
>> Being a one big meal a day man tonight's repast will be

The I remembered we'd loads of Christmas cake left so I had a slice of that with the Wensleydale and a glass of the Penderyn my sis gave me for Xmas.
Might take a while to eat the cake. The Lad doesn't like it and Miss B declined the quarter she was offered as her Beau's Grandmother had given them one too.
|
Slow cooked braised beef casserole in a rich gravy with shallots, carrots and swede. Accompanied by yorkshire pud, mash, cauli and runner beans. All washed down with what was left of the merlot she hadn't put in the casserole.
Comfort food for a miserable grey day.
|
Chicken Korma (ALDI cook-in sauce with ALDI chicken breast) plus (home-made) dhal and ALDI basmati rice.
For pud - ALDI low fat Greek style yoghurt with puree of ALDI bueberries.
|
>> Chicken Korma (ALDI cook-in sauce
Tried the Aldi cook in balti last night with prawns. Bit of a disappointment TBH, tasted like 'curry' flavour crisps. Back to Patak's pastes even if they do need effort and extra ingredients.

Our beef etc was very good, but - I'm waiting for a report from Crankcase ....has he survived?

I survived. However, I've just been reading a book about the internal migration of elephants, and I think I know where they ended up.

Nothing.
I had lunch and that was it.

Fried egg & chips and a bottle of Sauv. Blanc.

Oh BTW,
did you ever find out if the 'tradition' my buddy told me about was true?
His wife Esmerelda was Chilean and he recounted eating hard boiled eggs with partially formed chicks inside during a boy's night out with her male relatives.
|
>>did you ever find out if the 'tradition' my buddy told me about was true?
Unless she had Asian ancestry, the belief is that it is unlikely to be in Chile. Asians apparently do it with duck eggs.
But I couldn't get a definitive answer.
|
Chicken. But you prompt a thought...
On Christmas Eve as part of the meal my wife made egg snowmen;
A hard-boiled chicken egg as the body, a hard-boiled quail egg as the head, a slice of carrot with a smaller diameter carrot slice on top as the hat, and various veg as buttons, nose etc.
Damned nice with whatever the sauce was.

Chicken casserole containing oignons, tomatoes and mushrooms with a small potato baked in it's overcoat and roasted chunks of butternut. A Benecol yogurt all washed down with a small French biere.
Finished off a small Aldi Genoa cake between us at 9 pm then went for a bath. Might have a few biccies with cheese later.
Had a takeaway delivered last night. Prawn Balti with Peshwari Naan, rice, onion Bhajis and veg Samosas. A couple of Poppadums as well. Could have powered the Cutty Sark afterwards !
Hoping that little lot might have ripped into me Manflu...feels a lot better today.

Fried egg(S) & chips. Now You're talking. One of my favourite meals. Fresh eggs from the free range chickens that wander around my lawn eating the spilled bird seed from the feeders, and Asda oven chips. Spending 30 minutes in the kitchen doesn't happen chez LL. This food lark is vastly overrated.
|
Chicken pie, (microwaved) carrot & swede mash, veg & gravy. Not our usual Sunday evening fare, but we had a questionable pub lunch at the halfway point of a good long winter blast in the Morgan so were still in need of some proper sustenance.
No alcohol for me on a school night.

Pub on the way back from London. For me, half of Pride, the soup - carrot and pimento, something like that, soupy but just enough taste to pass muster in the goddam home counties, and then cod, chips and mushy peas. Cod tasteless, overdone, chips saved only by sauces of various sorts, not enough salt on the mushy peas, hard to get that right, 35 quid counting 14% bung plastic and shrapnel all told, not bad for the Surrey Sussex badlands eh?
And decent empty way home afterwards, whisker over the limit much of the time, plenty of mainbeam, well content and back in damn good time, ready for a large one.
|
Having both got our appetites back after that dreadful Christmas/New Year flu which meant most of the food went into the bin, we decided to eat out yesterday.
Stilton stuffed mushrooms to start, an excellent mixed grill and treacle sponge and cream with a couple of glasses of Rioja. I think that should redress the balance of lost calories!
The downside is I have roast pork to cook today.
Pat
|
>> whisker over the limit much of the time,
I had to re-read that to be certain you hadn't written Whisky.
Back home after round-trip of 11 hours on the road (shared) to find, bless the girl, a roaring fire in the sitting room instead of a cold house.
Cold lamb from the night before, in a toasted sandwich, with mint sauce.
Homemade hot mincepies with cream
Pot of tea.
Rounded off with a glass of port and a chunk of Stilton.
|
Nothing fancy or complicated cos I am doing the catering.
Kangaroo steak, pots and peas.

Ok, now I know.
I'm a bit jealous of two, very jealous of one, surprised by one and had my ridiculous preconceptions confirmed by two.
I couldn't, of course, possibly comment further.
But some nice ideas/variants there, thank you.
|
|
Home-made felafel. Home-made hummus. Cold chicken with selection of salads and Branston Pickle. Cheese board (mainly mature Cheddar but bought here) and home-made Speculoos-flavour ice cream. Customary half-litre of house red. Aren't I lucky?
|
|
A giant bowl of pasta with home-made pesto following a four hour slog on the bike through the mud. And some rice pudding. And some crisps. And part of a chocolate orange left over from Xmas.
|
|
I wonder what Lygonos will make of the forum's collective eating habits...
|
|
Curried pork chop, curried sweet potatoes and spinach, and rice, with home-made chutneys. (I say curried; home-brewed recipes very loosely inspired by Madhur Jaffery.) And most of a bottle of a very passable Sauvignon de Touraine left over form Saturday night.
|
Now all the main respondents have completed their forms for the Crankcase categorisation & compartmentalisation survey lets swing this a little.
You may, or may not know if you live on Mars, that I am a Waitrose Shopper and Aldi hater.
There is a swing in progress her in Palace Zero caused by a brand new Morrisons opening in Weybridge. It is a bright, spacious well stocked store with fantastic free parking (including the natty little "space empty or full" lights). The merchandise is mostly of good quality, the staff are friendly and helpful, it has a good coffee shop with comfy sofas, and above all its not freezing cold - employing for the most part upright chiller cabinets with doors. Its not even built to look like other Morrisons!
On Saturday we had some a super Chicken Kiev (from their up market range) that looked and tasted home made with good chicken and real breadcrumbs. Best of all we consumed a bottle of Rioja priced at under 5 quid. Ok its not one of the really full blooded Riojas, but f you want your wine with taste and body and not in the over spiced syrupy aussie manner this is a fine buy.
Look out for Montelciego Rioja at £4.70 a bottle.
|
Yeah but have you seen the sort of people who shop there? Mostly slightly smelly old people in trainers with shonky old cars.

No but it's true though isn't it? Same in British Home Stores. Smelly customers. They used to go to C&A but it's Morrisons and BHS now. Mark my words.

Actually the C&A ski gear was quite good and well priced - understandable as it was a major store in countries that had much better access to ski facilities than we did. If you wanted something natty and sharp looking that would do you for two seasons it was ideal.
I'll even confess to buying a couple of nice T shirts in a C&A in Tenerife last year
|
What a bunch of goddam popinjays you are. Smart and natty indeed... how awful.
Thank goodness I'm a smelly old geezer who gets clothes and shoes in Portobello Road. Crowded streets train the nose not to be too damn pernickety.
|
|
C&A ski jackets weren't quite natty enough, not if you wanted to cut the slightest of dashes, but the sallies were anonymous enough and sufficiently cheap for you not to mind if you wrecked them. I wasn't good enough to be sponsored but my mate was and got given all manner of cool gear. He did kindly offer to pass some of it on to me but he's 6'4" and I'm not. Wouldn't have worked.

Heh heh ! I expect though that you, like me, originally learned on gimungeous long wooden skis which didn't particulary suit snow ploughing. Not with their fixed cable bindings on to leather boots. I've still got the front half of one of those skis which I kept as a memento of an especially solid landing.
|
|
Mrs ON started on wood and leather kit, I didn't learn to ski until my late 20s when modern (long) skis and plastic boots were the new thing. I discovered gamsmilch early in my skiing life while in Obertauern, a couple of them on the hill before skiing down to the village and you feel no pain at all. :)

I've still got, somewhere, an old pair of ski poles with corks in the top. Used to fill them with Whisky Mac.

We do Tesco because there's a giant one on the way home (until it gets sold off I expect) but choose to Waitrose on a Saturday if we get the chance. The nearest Morrisons is blinking miles, but whilst we wouldn't go out of our way to get there we will happily shop there. We've had a few things of their own brand and been very happy with them - but I can't say I've noticed it being any cheaper than Tesco.
I read good reports about Sainsbury's these days, where I've not shopped for many a year simply as there are none convenient. If I nip into town for a top up shop it tends to be M&S , and I always come out blinking with the pain of the prices; even then the food is often not, as young people say, "all that".
Or it would be nice, if one had acres of time and energy, to use independent little shops more than we do. The Christmas chicken came from a local butcher and bird itself turned out to come from a farm a very local 40 miles away. It was a 4lb creature for just under £15. I have no idea if that's good or bad.
|
Now you know why I shop online and avoid the smelly customers.

Quite like Morrisons. Their drinks selection is excellent, different range of beers to usual and having a proper butcher in every branch means meat is good too.
Problem here is that although there are two in Northampton one's in the town centre and other is way round the other side on road to Kettering. Much easier to shop in Towcester or Daventry where both of which have Aldi stores with decent car parks. Waitrose and Tesco then a short drive (walk in Dav) for bits/bobs like leaf tea and some branded goods that Aldi don't do.
|

That's a good point, last time the OH was in one she got 3x 660ml bottles of wobbly for a fiver. Didn't take long to polish them off. Mind you nearest one is 20 odd mile round trip.

Difficult that one ON, old people in little Japanese hatchbacks can slide in under the radar in most places.

I think frequently there is envy, or at least resentment. Along the lines of "I haven't got one, so why should you have".
I think ideally we all need to feel better off in one way or another than the next one - although the criteria change from person to person, none more or less valuable than the next.
There's two approaches to satisfying that need; getting on, trying to be more successful / richer / sought after / whatever, or trying to drag everybody else down by seeking to mock, belittle or devalue what they do.
I've been driven by the first for as long as I can remember, and dealing with people adopting the second for almost as long.

I've learned, by default, not to take myself or my life too seriously if it is to be measured by material means.
I've been, sort of quite well off, then skint, not badly placed, then really skint, back to quite well off, then utterly skint and back to sort of ok for now on a cyclical basis all my life. The skint bit or even the seriously skint bit will undoubtedly come around again in due course.
Not fazed by it, or unreasonably impressed by the good times either.
Just happy I'm reasonably healthy for now. That'll do me.
As for what cars I've owned or have the use of, well, some were nice, some were just a transport solution, but by and large I've enjoyed something about most of them.
Except the Espace of course. That was hellish.

I'm sure you confidence is not misplaced and she is not charging you M&S housekeeping rates for Aldi comestibles. I'm sure your management controls are robust enough to spot that.

Can't be doing with Kippers. The little bones found even in the fillets catch in my throat.
A full fried is incomplete without Stornoway Black Pudding. Fortunately 'Charley Barley' does mail order.

I like a kipper, but my favourite fish oriented breakfasts are smoked haddock with a poached egg or, scrambled egg with smoked salmon.
Actually I could eat fish for every meal. Particularly partial to a pickled herring for lunch with crusty brown bread.
|
>> partial to a pickled herring for lunch with crusty brown bread.
Roll mops were they, something like that? A bit intense for a main course.
I agree of course that kippers are excellent, if sometimes finicky to eat, and that scrambled egg with smoked salmon is a very sustaining dish.

Roll mops, yes I suppose they are. Come in a jar. Wife obtains them.

In the 80's I had two long holidays with relatives in Denmark. Every supermarket seemed to have a stall outside selling herrings prepared in various ways. The relatives were very derogatory about them, so I kept away. How I regret that now, because I enjoy all kinds of fish. You can get rollmops in LIDL.

I attended a conference in Bergen many years ago. It was there I discovered rollmops for breakfast, which I still enjoy on occasion. However, they do not sit well alongside blueberry pancakes and maple syrup.

I know it's not Sunday, but today I thought I would try to make something I've seen mentioned in many American books as a staple of U.S. suburban grub - the meatloaf.
I followed Delia On-line's recipe and the result was OK, but IMO not outstanding enough to be lauded as an American classic. SWMBO liked it more than I did.
It IS a very solid wodge of meat, though and two decent slices were enough to have us puffing away from the table.
In the freezer went the rest - enough for at least two more meals for we two!
Has anyone any other versions they would like to recommend?
(It was a toss up between meatloaf and bobotie - now there's a treat if you've not tried it)
|
|
I like meatloaf. I use a Nigella recipe culled from a Sunday paper. It has a row of hard boiled eggs through the middle, making it a bit like a beefy gala pie.
