WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[LizG]

Home made pizza here tonight.

[Moh]

Lamb steaks, roast potatoes & garden peas tonight.

[Stanley]

I had a butty made with fried tomatoes and an egg for dinner and a steak pudding with the last of the pease pudding and chips for tea. I have a loaf in the machine this morning, we will not starve! (Oh, and I have some bacon ribs that have been in marinade since yesterday....)

[Stanley]

I slow cooked the ribs in the marinade in a covered dish on the stove all morning at a very low temperature. By dinnertime they were cooked so I stripped the meat off the bones and had it with some chips made with one potato and a large carrot. Very tasty indeed! I saved the gravy in a small bowl in the fridge and by teatime it had set into a nice savoury jelly. We were late getting back from the Eye Clinic and so I had a quickie, a fried egg and fried tomato butty for tea. I used some of the jellied gravy as a spread, waste not want not!

[Moh]

Meat & potato pie with mushy peas tonight.

[Stanley]

Boiled carrots with a cauli (47p) in the steamer above and had cauli and carrots for dinner with half of the rib gravy. Same for tea but with a few peas as well.
Weighed myself this morning, 169lbs (12 stone 1lb) so I'm holding the weight down and on a good day still reducing slowly. Just right!

[Moh]

Pulled pork, new potatoes & mashed swede tonight.

[Stanley]

One helping of Cauliflower and carrots left so I had it with some of the tomato and onion sauce I made. For tea I used the same sauce as a spread with cheese in a man sized butty!

[LizG]

Home made fish and chips for us.

[Marilyn]

Cauliflower Cheese Soup...

[Moh]

Rump steak & onions, roast potatoes & leeks tonight.

[Stanley]

Sounds like winter cooking Moh.... I checked with Stewart yesterday and my freezer full of Mutton/Two shear is in hand.... I miss my proper meat and the sooner I can get on to winter stews the better!
Pressed beef butty for dinner with the tomato and onion sauce. I had two small currant teacakes for tea, one with cheese and Apricot conserve and the other toasted with the last of the conserve on it. I know the conserve is forbidden but I do like some occasionally! I brought the tomato and onion sauce to the boil and then put it in a bowl in the fridge....

We will finish the Cauliflower Cheese Soup tonight and might have a slice of Pizza with it.
( love the Soup but it doesn't half give both of us wind )

After a three hour walk down by the seafront today, we rewarded ourselves with a very small Soft Serve ice cream as we walked home. They were only kiddie sized but delicious. ( naughty but nice, as Stanley would quote). I felt like I was living in another era, licking an ice cream as I walked home...

[Stanley]

No ice cream on offer this morning Maz as Jack and I walked round the town in semi darkness. The days are drawing in seriously now, I'll soon have to carry a torch so I can find Jack's deliveries!

[Moh]

It was very good Stanley. Minced meat and onion pie tonight with mash & mushy peas.

[Stanley]

Mother's mince onion and carrots was lovely, another of her dishes I have never been able to replicate exactly.... I wonder if this is because we were always hungry!
Had met pie, tomato and onion sauce, a few peas and chips for dinner and a pressed beef butty for tea with fruit for afters. Watched Rick Stein after and all the food gave me the munchies but I resisted! I love cooking good grub but that's what got me up to 15 stone at one point! Never again.....

[Marilyn]

Minced Beef Patties and Salad tonight, with a good bit of Chilli added to Minced Beef.
When I do my pattie mix, I add finely chopped onion, Chilli, Parsley, Chives, Black Pepper, Oregano, a slurp of HP sauce, an egg and some flour. I leave it to rest an hour or two before forming the patties and frying. The HP takes the flavours to another level...must be the Tamarind I think. And the fact that the Beef is top grade Australian. I did try making these with UK Beef whilst in England and they didn't taste the same - I could only put it down to the meat. perhaps I wasn't sold British Best. ( it was supermarket Mince, not Butcher bought)
(And thinking back to the time, it may have even been horse meat!)

We only eat red meat once a week/fortnight. At least two nights are fish, one or two nights are Chicken, and the rest is Vegetarian. Not big meat eaters at all. We haven had any meat at all since last Sunday's BBQ...

[Stanley]

Supermarket mince is terrible Maz. I have occasionally used it for Jack's dog grub and the amount of fat is horrendous. Stewart's mince has hardly any fat and as you know is so good I occasionally pinch some of Jack's grub.....

[Stanley]

I have! But not now Maz. Jack deserves the best. Besides, if you feed a dog good grub you save on vet's bills....

[Marilyn]

Weird things are happening!
I posted that last reply on another topic...then it was on two topics...so I deleted this one...but it's still here.
We have Gremlins?

[Wendyf]

I've just deleted it for you Maz. (I think!) But that makes the following posts look a bit odd.....perhaps I should put it back!!

[Marilyn]

I would leave it deleted. What happened I wonder...

[Wendyf]

Not sure Maz, no record in the site log of you having deleted a post.

[Moh]

Slow cooked brisket, new & roast potatoes, leeks in a cheese sauce, yorkies & gravy tonight.

[Whyperion]

Oxo cube (Crumbled ! - once I didn't) in the mince required - are they not just a little bit salty though - anyone as kids nibbled cold oxo cubes ? ( I don't think I finished a whole one - they normally went in hot water for pre cupasoups mug of soup )
