Pretty much like cardboard but acceptable for a quick meal. The weekend is the only time I have decent scran tbh, no cut out for this coming home from work and cooking a big fancy meal. That's when we tend to eat more crap. I do the vast majority of the cooking (perks of being a trophy husband ) so cook fresh through the week although friday is 'beige night', basically chips, oven baked 'stuff' (chicken strippers/breaded mushrooms/onion rings/cheesy jalapenos etc) all covered in chip shop curry sauce. Braw. If we have a takeaway its usually saturday night, if not it will be Asda pizzas or something similar, Sunday night is usually 'proper' food again.

A fair bit of pasta, made a big wok full of Quorn bolognese tonight, missus is a veggie but I find the Quorn mince simpler anyway. Will have another portion or two for the freezer and will dehydrate a couple of single portions to take hill walking. Make tomato ragu and do a his and hers portion quite often too, I'll put a veggie sausage in hers and extra chilli, garlic and a sliced pepperami (as council house chorizo) in mine. Usually have a stir fry once a week, she'll have salmon I'll throw in some diced chicken in mine. If we're doing a (quorn) chilli we mix it up, sometimes rice, sometimes wraps, sometimes both. I'll do chicken wrapped in Parma ham (or bacon) for me and salmon for her (I sometimes smoke the salmon for her if we're organised enough, I need to soak the wood chips the day before) with roast veg. We both like a curry so I'll do a curry from scratch, usually paneer. We sometimes cheat and use a bought sauce but if I have enough time I prefer to do a sauce from scratch in the slow cooker with loads of onions. We've become a bit 'samey' though, I need to expand my day to day repertoire. I find cooking quite relaxing, especially the prep, used to be a great way to unwind, Keith Floyd style of course.

Raidernation Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I will be making mince and tatties tonight. My American kids love it, even if they call mince “ground beef”[emoji2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggysBeard Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I have found one of the most enjoyable things about parenthood is having a freezer stocked up with fish fingers, turkey dinosaurs and potato waffles (they're waffley versatile). Tonight I am enoying turkey dinosaurs, fried egg, chips and beans. A solid 7.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention fish from the fish van on a wednesday. Dyed smoked haddock breadcrumbed and shallow fried with oven chips, peas and coleslaw. Braw. Looking forward to it tomorrow.

Herman Hessian Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 we are intending to try home-made doner kebabs over the weekend; the recipe suggests finishing them off with a "cook's blowtorch" for realistic searing on the outside cook's blowtorches, however, appear to be at least twenty quid, so they can GTF - however, I have a paint-stripping gun in the garage - presumably that would do the job admirably (obviously, if it was brought in to the kitchen) ? as a by the by, do I now need to contact the Grenfell enquiry and suggest that the reason behind the initial kitchen fire may be far less sinister than the unspoken "crystal meth lab" rumours ?

Let us know how you get on with the doner, that sounds intriguing. Seeing as we're moving onto the more 'exotic' scrans my brother in law made a tandoor oven a few years back out of plant pots, always mean to give it a go.

Broomhill Ultra Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 My son likes it. But he’s 12 so I’ll let him off with it.Pineapple is a delicious fruit but has no place amongst savoury food. Can anyone verify this childhood memory; pineapple fritter suppers (from the chipper)? Sure my Mum used to choose this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
