Evening Meal

[ethandron]

Due to having had my oven professionally cleaned today, I am never using it again, so tonight we're having a microwave cookable ham and chicken thing from m&s and a load of steamed cauli.
What about you, anything interesting on your menu?

[Mamyalynne]

A bowl of Makari Dal and some Poppadums.

[Old_Geezer]

Planning on making a spicy bean stew, if I can work up the enthusiasm. Got tins that need using up.

[Buenchico]

Like O_G, I'm trying to use things up.

So 'lunch' (at around 3pm) was some Cumberland sausages (which had been in the freezer for ages), casseroled in half a jar of Tikka Masala sauce (left over from yesterday's chicken curry), served with a jacket potato (used up before it actually takes root in the cupboard).

I often only eat one main meal a day, so I might not have anything (other than, say, a few biscuits) this evening but, if I do, I'll probably try to use up some cheese. So I might just have cheese on toast or perhaps a chili dish with lots of cheese on top.

Breaded Chicken, chunky chips and peas. I mentioned to Dad he could have a pudding but I think he decided he didn’t want one.

Bit of an Indian theme going on here..

OG, I make a spicy bean stew with a tin of butter beans, a tin of chickpeas and a tin of whatever other beans I have, usually borlotti beans. Open cans, open another of chopped tomatoes, tip into a pan, chuck in a couple of teaspoons of paprika and/or any other spices you fancy, maybe a stock cube. Boil up till hot enough. Serve with rice, pasta, bread, whatever is to hand. Job done. Get enthused ;)

We're having lovely Steak and Guiness puddings with mash.

From the freezer section of Tesco. I've become very lazy about cooking at home.

[Patsy33]

Roast chicken, potatoes, cabbage and carrots.

[ethandron]

I'm a bit like that too these days Clover, anything within reason for an easy life.
All round to patsys, she's doing a roast, my favourite.

[mallyh]

mince with veg potatoes and a singing swede

[EcclesCake]

Broccoli and Stilton soup, just been blitzed and now needs to be warmed to serve and a generous crumble of Stilton added.

[queenofmean]

Will I be allowed to bring stuffing Patsy?

[ethandron]

We have a singing Swede in our family, she has a lovely voice and has just joined a choir.
Hope your soup is nicer than the ainsley Harriet cup a soup I had recently Eccles (I'm sure it is)
I'll bring some homemade apple sauce if you're bringing stuffing queenie.

[mikey4444]

A big bowl of Heinz Cream of Tomato soup, with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and sprinkling of dried basil, and some nice crusty bread....the ultimate comfort food.

[ethandron]

Ooh, I have a tin of that somewhere mikey, you're right, comfort food indeed. Never thought of adding balsamic vinegar or dried herbs, used to dump some grated cheese in it though.

[237SJ]

I had chemmeen curry, dal makhni, rice, bread and a glass of sweet lassi. I don't uaually risk prawns but the curry was gorgeous

[Tilly2]

Lamb Rogan Josh, wholegrain brown rice, sag aloo, vegetable samosas, onion bhajis and naan bread.

[mikey4444]

ethandron...it only needs half a teaspoon of the balsamic vinegar !

I have added a glass of red wine to it on occasions.

A half glass of white wine, added to cream of chicken soup is to be recommended as well !

[douglas9401]

Pizza from Morrisoninis freezer of delights

[ethandron]

Are you away in foreign parts again 237SJ?
I didn't think you ate Indian food Tilly, I must be getting mixed up with someone else. Or is it Chinese food? All sounds very nice, is it takeaway or have you made it?
