What did you have last night?

fontane77 · 23rd September 2009, 11:02 AM

would be interesting to see what sort of stuff people are haivng on a daily basis......

I'll start...

I had some pasta (casarecce - from tesco) with white wine, garlic, red onion, bacon and cream with some parsley - bit of parmesan thrown in at the end.....mmm

A bit of a slapdash curry for me - chicken thighs and drumsticks fried off in asafoetida and cumin, then added onion, garlic and ginger and the whole pot finished off with tomatoes, garam masala, chili powder and coriander.

Quite successful, all told.

Beans on toast - had to go to Indie Spice for lunch (your fault ChefSmith!) which left me full for the day, had their two course lunch for €8.95, absolute bargain.

Quick fill up in Sainsburys including Pasta Fusilli, Chicken, Garlic, Bell & Hot Peppers, Basil, Tomatoes Going Out of Shelve Date!, Mushrooms, Parmesan and opened a bottle of Jacobs Creek!!!!
Moped up with nice big crusty loaf.

Big pot of thrown-together-at-the-last-moment soup.

Stock made from one of those Knorr gel things, leftover meat from roast chicken, onion, carrots, celery, green beans, borlotti beans and big sprig of thyme. Yum, yum.

Melendez · 23rd September 2009, 11:44 AM

Chilli Con Carne.

Onions, mince, garlic and a few leftover mushrooms fried off with chilli powder.

Add...

Can of red kidney beans.
Can of red kidney beans in chilli sauce
Can of tomatoes
Small bit of beef stock
Packet of Erin chili sauce (complete with msg) mixed with water
couple of teaspoons of sugar

served with boiled rice

Not very healthy or exotic but it's quick and tasty.
Tonight I get the other half, possibly in the form of a burrito.

penne with gambas, museels, clams & organic salmon with olive oil, corriander, garlic, chili, ginger (last five components pureed with the olive oil. white wine, fish stock and a fork.

was under the impression two course lunch menus under 10 euro where nasty?

Melendez · 23rd September 2009, 11:54 AM

Not as nasty as finding pureed cutlery in your pasta.

sean_dru · 23rd September 2009, 11:56 AM

very witty

Old Tart · 23rd September 2009, 12:02 PM

Beans on toast for me too.

Ernie Whalley · 23rd September 2009, 12:03 PM

spag bol, out of the freezer, from the big batch I made last week.
plus runner beans from the garden, as a 'side'
couple of glasses of excellent SQ budget red 'Chat en Oeuf' (groan)
2 x espresso - Nicaragua El Limoncillo peaberry/Sumatra Lingtong 2/3 - 1/3, roasted dark and just-off shiny

meatmonger · 23rd September 2009, 12:12 PM

Not a potato between us!!

Hanna · 23rd September 2009, 12:12 PM

Does it count if you ate out?

If so:

blue cheese and white onion tart
Seafood pie with whipped potatoes
Apple and blackberry crumble
Glass pinot grigio
Coffee

(Alexis Early bird. Can't recommend highly enough!)

petitechef · 23rd September 2009, 12:36 PM

crostini with mint & pea, roast carrot and lentil paté toppings!

italian foodie · 23rd September 2009, 01:18 PM

milanese with salad.....

unclepat · 23rd September 2009, 01:36 PM

Home made baked beans with brown bread and poached duck egg

Ernie Whalley · 23rd September 2009, 05:05 PM

Brown bread, Baby Jesus salami and home made tsatziki for lunch.

Only me in tonight, herself playing golf, so casserole which I made the other night out of some odds and sods - pork, onions, garlic, pepper, tomatoes, herbs, bit of leftover wine. The portion I had left I tarted up tonight, made it kind of Moroccan with cinnamon, ginger, almonds, shallots, couple of field mushrooms chopped up. With basmati rice and the obligatory runner beans - object being to eat them up before the first frost. I could freeze them but last years' weren't amazing.
Big Campari before and glass of SQ Cote de Rhone with - amazing stuff for 7 euro, more anon.
May have a Bushmills 1604 and an espresso if I can find a link to watch City v Fulham.

sean_dru · 23rd September 2009, 05:32 PM

am glad your taste in food is better than your taste in football

Ernie Whalley · 23rd September 2009, 07:22 PM

That's the last good review you'll get

foodfiend · 23rd September 2009, 08:06 PM
