WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?

[Stanley]

I fried six herb laden sausages and when they were brown I put them on a bed of onions with the usual condiments and braised them on the stove for an hour or two. Dinner was chips with sausage and onion gravy, very tasty.... For tea I had a change and made four small slices of cheese on toast, cut them into squares and tipped a tin of baked beans on top. Nice change.... Fruit for pudding of course!

[Moh]

Chilli & rice tonight.

[Stanley]

I decided that the sausages in onion gravy had legs so I boiled carrots and swede, mashed them with butter and mixed the gravy and sausage in with the result. I had it with steamed cauli for dinner and tea.... There is still some left over. I love extending meals!

[Moh]

Being lazy again tonight - we enjoyed our fish & chips from the chippy last week so we are having them again tonight. Feels nice to have a break from thinking about what to have and then cooking it!

[Stanley]

Moh, my version of that is to cook in industrial quantities and have plenty left over!
Had three small pressed beef butties for dinner. I toasted the bread because it was nearing its sell by date! Cauli and the carrot, swede and sausage mixture for tea.

[LizG]

BBQ pork chops and roast veggies. Not to mention broccoli and cabbage.

[Moh]

I do extra and freeze it Stanley but we fancied fish & chips - which were very good.
Steak & salad tonight with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.

[Marilyn]

Making Soup here this morning. (Chicken and Veg with Lentils)
Will have it with a couple of pieces of Cheese and Chive Bread.

[Stanley]

Dinner was the last of the cauli and veggies with the sausage in plus a steak pudding because there wasn't a lot left. Tea was three very small haslet butties.

[Moh]

Roast brisket, yorkshire puds., carrot & parsnip mash, cauli. & gravy.

[Thomo]

Tender braised steak, new, and crispy roasted potatoes, chopped carrots and swede, cauliflower florets, Yorkshire puddings and sumptuous gravy, with good French Red Wine.

[Marilyn]

all sounds lovely, though rather 'heavy'. I expect it is the cooler weather sharpening appetites...(I am just jealous. I only have to think of food like that and I become pudding shaped!)
Finishing the Chicken/Veg/Lentil Soup tonight, with the last of the Cheese and Chive Bread.

[Stanley]

Two small poached egg butties for dinner. Meanwhile I was building a stew... The basis is 4 grilled Lincolnshire sausages plus veggies and supercharged with various spices, a small tin of anchovies and some Marmite.... The small pan on the right is swede which I mashed and used for thickening when the main event was ready. I had a bowl of this for tea and for pudding treated myself to half a Terry's chocolate orange.... I know, I shouldn't have done it but it was lovely!

[Stanley]

Stew X two for dinner and tea. It improves as it goes on!

[LizG]

We just bought new BBQ so roast beef and veggies on there tonight.

[Moh]

Potato hash tonight using the remainder of the brisket joint with beetroot.

[Tripps]

I love seeing tater 'ash written posh.

I've had one of these Yellow Fin Sole

Not bad - and easy to do - straight from the freezer to the Halogen oven.

[Stanley]

Last of the stew made two small bowls full. Had it for dinner and tea. Veggie day today.....

[Moh]

A chicken & rice dish I saw Mary Berry making - sounds good.

[Stanley]

Steamed cauli (59p), carrots and parsnips for dinner. Black pudding and fried egg on oven bottoms for tea. (Had to replace the armful of blood they stole off me yesterday!)

[PanBiker]

(Had to replace the armful of blood they stole off me yesterday!)

Steady on Stanley, you're bordering on Tony Hancocks best there.

[Moh]

Just had a tuna mayo sandwich in Morecambe - lamb chops, chips & peas tonight.

[PanBiker]

A beef bolognese bubbling in the slow cooker, we'll have it with Tagliatelle with a bit of cheese on top.

Loosely food related . . . . . .

I have just been for a walk round the village. I popped into the apple shop - they just sell apples and pears - they only open this time of year, and grow them all behind the shop. Of the many varieties on offer, I got some Coxes, and they are the best tasting apple I've had for years. Now I know why I stopped buying supermarket imported ones. The supermarkets wouldn't touch any of them because of their appearance, but I'll be back for more.

[Stanley]

David, the English Cox apples are good this year, I'm enjoying them as well.... The English Comice pears are wonderful as well.....
I had a vegetarian day yesterday, porridge for dinner and Cauli carrots and parsnips for tea followed by stewed plums with no added sugar or custard. Then fruit for pudding.
