The " Honey I'm home and I'm bloody starving , what's for dinner " Thread.

[Paul]

Wife and daughter away for the weekend, so it looks like Weetabix, Uncle Bens rice and cheese for dinner

I just don't know which wine to choose ?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Making a beef bourgignon tonight. Looking forward to it.

 

[PPB]

Chicken soup and bread and butter soldiers.

 

[lemonjelly]

Toad in the hole. Mash. Sweetcorn, peas, green beans.
And very thick gravy.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Sweetcorn? Fuck the fuck off.

Last night, the missus made roasted pepper stuffed with cous-cous served with piri-piri falafel and salad. WTF?! Bitch didn't even give me so much as a hand-job neither!

 

[Langers]

Tonight's offering is sausage and onion casserole with mash potato. And I don't think I've ever mashed a potato before - dunno how I've reached my mid 30s without doing them but I guess I just found them too much hassle before so either boiled them or had jacket potatoes instead. Or the ex-wife cooked.

Anyway, this casserole needs mash so mash it is.

I presume you've banned her from the kitchen?

Last night was a pork, leek, mustard and white wine stew with mash and green beans followed by bog standard vanilla ice cream but with some superb raspberry and rhubarb compote I'd made earlier. Delicious.

Machin - that sounds good!!

 

[PPB]

This thread is appetizing to me again, so I must be feeling better.

To Wombat - What the fucks up with sweetcorn?

To machin - That really does sound yummy although not finishing off that kind of meal without so much as a hand job is inexcusable!

To Langers- Yep, that sausage casserole needs mash. Can't believe you've never mashed a tata before! Put in some butter and a little milk, and if you have time, not only mash it with a masher( I hope you have one) but then push the mash through a sieve for an extra creamy lighter mash.

To Nando -Your meals always sound tasty, tasty and 'posh' . Don't think I've ever put white wine in me stews. Sounds good though.

Yep - masher has been purchased!! I know how to mash a spud, I just never actually have. Got a jar of onion chutney from a friend of mine who makes it, and that was added to the casserole before I turned the cooker on earlier. Smells ace.

Sweetcorn is nice but not with mash!

I could have it with mash, but couldn't pour gravy over the sweetcorn, or anywhere near it. Love corn on the cobs rolled in melted butter. In Summertime that is sometimes my meal :licklips:

Nah, she needs a chance to redeem herself

 

[PPB]

Chip butty baps with fish fingers.

 

[The Bear]

Salad cream or ketchup?

The addition of fish fingers means I'd go for the former.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Ketchup all the way for me.

 

[PPB]

I'm a bit undecided, but will probably go with salad cream and vinegar on the chip butty baps, and the fish fingers which be on my plate and not on the bap with the chips so will probably go with a blob of ketchup for them. Or do I put the fingers on the baps with the chips and just go with ketchup and vinegar? I'm not sure.

I think we need to start a competition for our newest chef: Langers' slow cooker challenge. People suggest a dish or recipe and our hero has to recreate it using only his beloved bung-it-all-in-and-switch-it-on-at-the-mains contraption.

Beef wellington for starters?

 

[Langers]

Steady on a bit. I've rarely cooked before - all I'm trying to do is the right thing for my kids as an independent, newly single dad who also works 5 days a week as I adjust to a new lifestyle and a new routine. We can't all be Keith bloody Floyd you know.
