thought it would be an idea to have one of these threads and add to it, well at dinner times, as we like to have an insight to one and other.......
so tonight we are having beef casserole, with winter vegetables and dumplings, the smell of it cooking right now is driving the cats insane, and then the smell of pudding which is a chocolate sponge, hand made by moi earlier is making the dogs a little to willing to please.
so what are you having for your dinner tonight?

We're having 'griddled cold-smoked salmon fillets on puy lentils with nutmeg-dusted spinach', as a poncy recipe would say! :) It's one of my favourite dishes, minimal preparation, cooked in less than 40 minutes, not much clearing up and it's really yummy (and it's good for you - omega-3 fish oils, low GI and vitamin C and fibre :lol: )
Bon appetit everyone, whether you're having a feast or fish'n'chips (and there's something to be said for both of those)

Asda's meal deal currys are the best imo. Especially their Tandorri chicken massala :cool:

Donna

Emma it was delicious, as Fran says Asdas meal deal curries are the best. Oh had the hot Chicken Tikka Masala and I had the normal strength, it was sooo good and so cheap. We go to Asda for the curry then shop at Tesco:D

EmmaG

dinahsmum

Slow braised lamb shanks with a white wine and rosemary 'jus' (:roll: ) for us, later. I'm all cooked out. Have cooked, portioned and frozen
8 chicken and mushroom casserole
8 lasagne
6 braised beef
6 fish pie
and will deliver said 'meals on wheels' to the crumblies tomorrow. Was planning to do some veg curry as well but unless I get inspired in the next hour or two think that will just stay an unfulfilled 'meant to:(

EmmaG
11-12-2005, 06:07 PM

Pracising with the roasties and parsnips in the goose fat as recomended. On catpages:-D

Karen

EmmaG
11-12-2005, 06:17 PM
Let me know how you get on with the goose fat Karen :) I hope you like them :)

Donna
11-12-2005, 07:04 PM
Where do you buy goose fat from???? Or the beef dripping mentioned?

Mags
11-12-2005, 07:21 PM
I'm not sure about the goose fat Donna but you can buy beef dripping (if you don't make it yourself) from the supermarket on the butter/fats shelf....

Kazz
11-12-2005, 07:45 PM
You can get goose fat from Sainsbury's they have it by the fresh veg/potatoes in mine.

EmmaG
11-12-2005, 07:48 PM
I buy my goose fat from Sainsburys - they usually have it on an end isle in a tin labeled La Truffe Graisse D'Oie (Goose Fat) 350g - it is in a black/dark green tin with a cream label

Kazz
11-12-2005, 07:55 PM
Thats it Emma :D and by the way it was gorgeous :-D the roasties and parsnips were lovely cooked in it - roll on Christmas:-D

EmmaG

Kazz
12-12-2005, 05:59 PM
Organic pork chops :-D with bone. Mashed potato, cauli & cheese sauce, and gravy.

I am trying to empty the freezer of all the veg I was given by my "allotment" neighbour,:roll: hence Cauli again. But I adore Cauli so nothing terrible there.:D

It can be quite amusing when you have an allotment in full production. People just 'don't see you' :roll: as you near them with yet another plastic bag full of beans/tomatoes/lettuce etc!

Oh I see him alright in fact if I don;t I search him out;) He gives the produce away but I feel guilty he "gives" it away so I always buy his Sunday papers we are both content then :D

Fran

EmmaG
13-12-2005, 07:23 PM
Hmmm Fish and Chips is another one of my favourites Fran, we are very lucky that our local fish and chip shop do excellent cod (no skin or bones) so you can eat the whole thing :)

dinahsmum
16-12-2005, 09:01 PM
Had one of my favourites tonight, poached cod with grain mustard sauce on mashed potato with braised shredded leek.
Very quick, easy and delicious. Burp!

Fran

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_34.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYGB)We finished the 'christmas food' last night. Woo-hoo!!!!!!

Well, I've got a few (uncooked) sprouts left, so I'll boil them lightly, mix them with cubed leftover potatoes, pan fry it in a cake, like a higher class bubble & squeak, (!:) !) and pop a couple of fried eggs each on top.
Mmm, mouth watering already!

EmmaG
29-12-2005, 04:46 PM
I wish we had finished the Christmas food, we have got loads of it left, which really annoys me as I always say to the other half, perhaps we shouldn't buy so much this year.

We have got left

Cheese straws
Chocolates
Sainsburys biscuits
Chocolates
Peanuts
Honey roasted cashew nuts
Chocolates
Mince Pies
Christmas Cake
Chocolates ;)
Rum truffle cake
Pringles
Savoury biscuits
Chocolates ;)
Christmas Pudding
Yule Log
Stollen
Orange peel chocolates
Christmas Crisps :roll:
Frozen finger food
Oh a few more chocolates :roll: :-D

We had a chinese meal in the town at lunchtime so I am just going to finish off my cheeseboard this evening, we were going to have roast beef but I think we have had quite a bit to eat so far today !!!

Mags
29-12-2005, 04:54 PM
Wow Emma, you've still got enough there for a Catpager party!:shock: :-D

EmmaG
29-12-2005, 04:57 PM
Did I tell you Mags that I have got a few chocolates left over ??? we have TWO big toblerone bars!!! arrrggghhhh I am glad my other half likes chocolate as I really don't each much at all!!!

We could certainly have a few parties with the food we have left over, we were laughing today saying if we got snowed in our Christmas food would last us for a couple of weeks!!

Mags
29-12-2005, 04:59 PM
Oh did you say you had chocolate Emma? I must have missed that!!:-D

EmmaG
29-12-2005, 05:27 PM

Fran
29-12-2005, 06:24 PM

EmmaG
11-01-2006, 02:02 PM
Not 100% what we are having for dinner tonight, as I need to pop to Sainsburys and do my weekly shop, I was thinking about getting some peppered steak but we shall see :)

Sorry to hear that you are diabetic Kay, that's a bit of a bummer :(

EmmaG
11-01-2006, 10:03 PM
Well we had peppered rump steak and veggies (other half had chips as well :roll: ) but I am sort of low carbing so no chips for me. :-D

EmmaG
25-01-2006, 09:37 PM
Chicken Florentine with veggies (the low carbing is going sooooo well!!! :) )

Mags

EmmaG
25-01-2006, 10:01 PM

Fran
25-01-2006, 11:23 PM
Chicken Kiev for us tonight. Incidently, we tried the Birds Eye steamed fresh fish yesterday, the haddock and leek one. I enjoyed it. Hubby found a bone :roll: so it didn't get great ratings from him :(

EmmaG
25-01-2006, 11:27 PM
Oh Fran, that is a shame I haven't found a bone yet in any we have eaten. I had better watch out.

Fran
25-01-2006, 11:29 PM
Oh Fran, that is a shame I haven't found a bone yet in any we have eaten. I had better watch out.

I didn't get a bone either Emma. But I did see hubby's bone so know he wasn't making it up. He has a real aversion to fish if it has bones in it. Typical it was his that had a bone in it and not mine :roll:

EmmaG

last week i did some nice dinners, chicekn n rice with bbq sauce, diced pork stew n dumplings ( one of my fav's) pasta n tuna.

EmmaG
