What to have for tea tonight??

[ThinLizzy]

I'm still at work and my brain has just about turned to mush -- I'm home alone tonight and wanna cook something, but can't decide what?? Any veggie suggestions to help me out of my mental block (which is probably brought on by lack of food)

What's everyone else having for tea tonight?

[Marmora Man]

Vegetarian Pancake stack:

Cook several pancakes.

Roast various vegetables, Fry off some onions. Fry off some mushrooms. Make a strong cheese sauce (if you have some blue cheese - yum yum).

Layer pancakes and cooked vegetables alternately until you run out of veg / pancakes. Pour over cheese sauce - eat with large glass of gluggable red wine in front of fire.

Give it up. Come down the Black Cherry and grab a handful of pistachios with your drink.

Me and miss Wolf will be having her Shepherds pie tonight. Several bottles of wine for afters.

[ThinLizzy]

Oh my goodness MM that sounds fantastic!! I think you've swung it....you may just catch me in Somerfield in about half an hour by the blue cheese section....and then wine of course :) Thanks for your wonderful help x

[ThinLizzy]

Lozzy, don't tempt me -- though I'm in the mood to scruff out infront of the old telly tonight with a pancake stack and a nice bottle of red :)

[Moos]

Or chop up a load of garlic, peppers, courgettes, red onion (or whatever you fancy) with some halloumi, put some rosemary in, add some olive oil and roast in the oven for about 25 minutes. Very delicious with fresh bread.

I'm having a cheese sandwich and a banana.. ::o

[PeckhamRose]

warm some fish in 1/2 pint hot milk till the fish flakes.

put fish aside and melt an ounce of flour and ounce of butter in the milk till it all mixes and thickens.

Put 4oz of grated cheese and the fish back in sauce with some salt and pepper.

put the lot in casserole dish with new potatoes gas 6 for 30 mins.

Or I may just get a Chinese.

[Asset]

Tom Yum, made with tofu and any mouldy old veg left at the bottom of the fridge. Cupboards are bare.

[lozzyloz]

Mouldy veg or go out for a beer? Must be a difficult choice!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Buy 3 for 2 Chinese dishes from M&S. Nuke/bake as instructed. Eat.

Go to Black Cherry. Get pissed. Fall over.

Go to Kebab and Wine, but a Donner. Leave kebab in kitchen overnight.

[bigbadwolf]

God thank fcuk for that Michael! I was beginning to think I was the only carnivore here.

[Mick Mac]

For me - Some beers (only one so far) accompanied by bombay mix and pastacios. Mrs M is out tonight, so I don't have to eat good stuff.

[ThinLizzy]

...You guys are great, thanks ED posse -- I plumped for MM's pancakes and roasted veg with blue cheese sauce, and very nice it was too :) Mrs M's a lucky lady ;-) Will have to come and meet the rest of you at the next ED forum drinks night :)

[HonaloochieB]

Share some greased tea with me.

[HonaloochieB]

Is there honey still for tea?

If there is, then have it.

[Marmora Man]

ThinLIzzy - glad you enjoyed my veggie meal. I'm really an omnivore - will eat / cook pretty much anything.

For carnivores - tonight's supper.

Roast duck breast with crispy skin. Ratatouille with cheese crust, spinach, tiny new boiled potatoes. Cheese to follow (including a delicious aged Red Leicester). Bottle of Zinfandel to wash it all down.

[woofmarkthedog]

A nice bone........

Sneee grrrr

[charliecharlie]

got a friend coming over for supper before we see the Benjamin Button film

so... it's home made soup made with

onion, spring onions, garlic, tomatoes, parsnip, red lentils, veg stock cube, cumin, ginger and corriander, cook 30mins or so then whizz (ie. basically all the stuff I had in fridge/cupboard) "DONE" as Gordon would say

then some cheese and crusty bread with red onion chutney

finish off with grapes

lots of red wine

[ThinLizzy]

You guys are inspirational -- keep the ideas coming...

I might just do a Yorkshire Pud this weekend with stuff

[Applespider]

I'm trying to decide between risotto with scallops and baby octopus or home-made fish pie

[charliecharlie]

oh the risotto with scallops sounds love love lovely!!!!

It must be time for a reprise of my favourite recipe posting, courtesy of LibraCarr - last year:

"Hi,

Cheese on toast.....

Readily available is the Cathedral brand. Cheese on toast has to be strong. Grate the cheese onto a peice of toast and then add Tomato slices or onions. Then add more grated cheese to cover. Otherwise get a portion of sweetcorn onto the toast (has to be done quickly - as the toast may dampen) then sling the grated cheese on top. Bing Bong orgasm time."
