What's for Dinner?

[orthodoc]

The last time I asked this (what's for dinner?), it didn't go well. But then, the entire month has been this way. Pork adobo sounds great, Ali.

I had it for lunch today too. . Tonight i have made corn fritters. I forgot to put the usual sneaky veges in though, so will have to think about that a bit more.

Chicken thigh, field peas/snaps and a hoe cake.

a hoe cake? is that a tart?

Pot Roast with boiled new potatoes -that Hector grew- drizzled in butter and steamed kale -that Thor grew- possibly chopped with a little butter.... and chopped carrots ....you got it

A real hoe cake is plain corn meal and boiling water, with some salt. then cooked on a griddle or hot pan. Crumbled up in greens, such as Collards, turnips.
Yes I know some sites call for sugar and other BS.

Roast duck, mandarin oranges, and broccoli.

I had the nicest broth last night! Uber simple. Just a little minced beef, with barley, chopped onion, potato, carrot, greens and peas some salt and pepper and a little 'umame' flavouring shaken into it.

Sooooo good. And did a little mini broth for Carrotchops. As above, minus the onion and seasonings.

I still have half a pan left - so that'll be my tea tonight

I had a discounted roll from Asda (4p) with some discounted chicken and jalapeño sandwich filler (35p) from same. I had to eat it standing up, because despite feeding Diz first he obviously smelled the chicken and thought I should share.

Ohnonononono. Spicy even for a person-mouth, no good at all for kitty-mouths.
I did not trust him not to take a swipe at it if I sat down.
Consequently I didnt really enjoy it.

I shall keep a food record in my diary while I am away.
I won't bombard you with three months worth when I am back, but it will serve as a reminder of anything particularly enjoyable or grim.

Sauteed wild (hand picked) oyster mushrooms followed by chicken tortellini with three cheese sauce/gravy.

[DanaC]

Ersatz ratatouille* with cheese topped baton on the side.


*shallots, mushrooms and courgette, chopped and stirfried with a little garlic and chilli, then throw in half a jar of pasta sauce :P

How do we feel about Thai food? I just had some leftover crab fried rice and pad thai, my two favorites. Anyone have recommendations for other Thai dishes?

I'm not over keen on Thai food. Too much seafood for my liking. :p But I love Chinese food.

Buster, that looks delicious. I haven't had a steak in years.

I don't do thai often, myself. I find a little bit goes a long way, and I only know a few dishes. I live in fear of accidentally ordering a coconut-heavy curried something, because I don't care for coconut or coconut milk in 99% of things I've tried (the remaining 1% that I do like is mostly made up of fresh coconut and fresh coconut milk, and even those only maybe once a year. Also pina coladas, okay.) But there are like 80 thai places in my small town for some reason, so I give them a crack every so often, but I generally stick to ordering pad thai and crab fried rice. Chicken satay is also pretty great stuff, and wins bonus points for being food on a stick. Hard to go wrong with food on a stick.
