Cooking Tonight #5

[Snoop Puss]

Bakewell pudding.

Got an easy life today, as neighbours have invited us for lunch, so taking the Bakewell pud for afters.

[Bren In Pots]

We were out all yesterday so no Tagliatelle and Bol for Saturday evening.

This evening oven baked fish with Charlottes, french beans, peas and carrots.

[Nicos]

No goose apparently - turns out it’s just too expensive to run at the vide grenier, so I’m glad my back up plan of defrosting the Guinea fowl has worked out!

[greenishfing]

No fresh meat or fish in the fridge! What shall I make?

There's leftover beef stew that I could make a Yorkshire pudding with or that I could make into a steak and veg pie, there's cod in the freezer that I could make into a fish pie, there's both raw and cooked chicken in the freezer, or Lincolnshire sausage. I've got plenty eggs....omelette OR quiche? A tin of corned beef....corned beef hash with a poached egg on top? I could make mushroom soup or curried sweet potato soup. Or even fish fingers.

Nothing is really jumping out at me. I suppose I should just be thankful that I've got lots of choice.

[Nicos]

What did you decide on eventually gf?

From that choice I’d be fancying the beef stew with dumplings and roasted veg?

OH is cooking Sunday roast for me so I’ve made him a Dorset apple cake as a treat.

[greenishfing]

We had dumplings with the beef stew yesterday, so maybe the leftovers tomorrow I think.

I've just made pastry for a little apple pie for dessert with cream or ice cream. I might throw a few frozen blackberries in the pie, too. Mr GF has picked fish fingers, hash brown waffles, carrots, peas and parsley sauce for a main course........hardly traditional Sunday dinner fare....but it's what he fancies and I did let him pick.

This evening Saag aloo, with rice, sourdough naans, a yoghurt dip and Indian apple chutney.

My charlottes, chard, tomatoes, cucumber and mint.

[Nicos]

Whilst the oven was on yesterday we also roasted two big trays of mixed veg.
So tonight it’ll be roasted veg with feta and olives.
Watermelon and raspberries for pud

I was going to make a meat and vegetable pie with the remains of Saturday's stew but Mr GF has put in a request for soup. The stew is now in the freezer and I'll make mushroom soup. We'll have it with bread and butternand a dish of grated parmesan.

The other half of yesterday's apple pie with custard or cream or ice cream.

[Snoop Puss]

Beans on toast. Fried egg for Mr Snoop.

[Florence Fennel]

Chicken and chips. Mandarins in orange jelly with ice cream.

[Bren In Pots]

Toasted cheese sandwiches with courgette and tomato soup.

[Nicos]

Just fancying a rissotto using the stock and bits from the Guinea fowl carcass, and some mushrooms, with a side salad.

Watermelon for pud.

[Florence Fennel]

Making pies again from the left over chicken, so a quick one tonight. Sandwich request from himself, so I'll have a chicken tikka wrap.

[Snoop Puss]

Fresh anchovies and salad. Fresh fruit salad for afters.
