A 'tea tonight?' thread anyone?

[TweeBee]

So.... Is anyone interested in a thread where we all say what we are having for tea / dinner depending on where you live, and I can steal your lovely ideas. Hopefully we could share ideas?
We are having turkey burgers in buns with corn on the cob and salad tonight, homemade pizza tomorrow.

[Iwannaberich]

Tonight will be home made pizza with sweet potatoe wedges- I can't wait!

[ACubed]

God I love these threads, I could literally read about food all day! Tonight we're having spicy brown lentils with rice and yoghurt and some leaves, and a glass of white wine.

[CatherineDeB]

Here it is salad with oven roasted asparagus, tomatoes and mushrooms with some pan fried goats cheese ..... and I am breaking open the vvvvv posh bottle of Balsamic I bought in Modena - the best grade I bought.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

ACubed - any chance of a recipe for the lentils, please?

Easy dinner here before going to the pub! Higgledy feta quiche, French stick, salad.

[TweeBee]

Apologies if this offends anyone or makes you jealous but.....
I'm going out for tea!!!!! And with grown ups only!
I can't wait!
Have done DCs and DH prawn pasta, cheese sauce, peas, sweet corn, pasta, prawns.
Now to get them to bed and try to make myself look smartish!

[ACubed]

Sure thing, I sort of make it up as I go along:
Fry on a low heat a red onion, three chilis and three cloves of garlic. Add some spices - I used sumac, paprika, garam masala and black pepper. Then pour in some brown lentils (maybe a cup? I soak them for a couple of hours first). Let the lentils cook for a minute or so, then pour over boiling water so they're covered, and add a stock cube or fresh stock, and a couple of bayleaves. Then cook for about an hour depending on how soft you like them, adding more water if they dry out.

Bolognaise! The best one yet I think. Baby DD was asleep by 6.15 unheard of and dp is working late, already done all the housework and I think I aced my exam this morning so have cracked open the prosecco and am eagerly awaiting the spaghetti to be cooked. With a choccy bar for afters and shit tv. Heaven

[HairsprayBabe]

Sweet potato and black bean burgers here
With salad and wedges

[GlowWine]

We're still in warming winter food mode: tonight we had potato bake with onions, bacon, mushrooms and cheese.

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

We had pasta with cherry tomatoes, veg and chorizo. Not exciting but popular with DS2.

[Howaboutthisone]

Am torturing myself reading about all this lovely food as I'm 5 days into recovery from tonsil removal so not eating much at all! I've gotten so many lovely ideas for when I stuff myself when I feel better. If I ever feel better!

[Teacupinastorm]

I went out for lunch so not majorly hungry. Crusty bread, pate and cheese for me. DP on the late shift, crappy telly on and wine open

[Chelsea26]

I'm so excited about our dinner - we are having the sexiest, most gorgeous, pimped up warm chicken tikka salad you have ever seen!

Yes I'm this excited about a salad but it is literally the best thing I've ever made

HURRY UP DH!

[AdoraKiora]

Caribbean curry chicken with rice, roasted peppers & sweet potato, coleslaw & spinach & avocado salad. Twas delicious.

[neversleepagain]

Chicken stew with rice. It had carrots, peas and spinach in it. It tasted better than it sounds!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

M&S dine in for two today. Mushroom tart thing, with garlic bread and salad. Dp will drink the bottle of red, and we'll save the apple pie for pud tomorrow.

[BestIsWest]

Indonesian stir fried rice topped with a fried egg. It was lovely.

[MakingJudySmile]

A bbq - chicken fillets, salmon and salads.

[Howaboutthisone]

I'm back in hospital and not allowed to eat. I'd love to know more about your tikka salad though Chelsea for when I stuff my face when I'm finally better!xx

[Flisspaps]

Duck leg, with asparagus and broccoli that have been cooked with the duck.

DH is having Jersey Royals and orange sauce with his.

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

No tea for me tonight (although other people sound lovely).

It's DS1's birthday tomorrow so (as is traditional) exP came down (with his OH) and we all went out for a celebratory lunch. We went to a Japanese restaurant and it was lovely. No one is hungry now though.

[FourForYouGlenCoco]

MIL came round earlier and we all had expanded afternoon tea - sandwiches, salad, cherry tomatoes, cheese straws, dippy dips, pickles, crisps, potato salad, etc etc - followed by scones with jam and clotted cream. So just leftover picky bits this eve! We moved house last week and the new oven just arrived this morning so we can crack on with real food as of tomorrow. Loving this thread for ideas!

[muminthecity]

I love these threads. Especially on days like today where I've actually eaten a decent meal rather than any old crap from the freezer .

We had lamb steaks, couscous, roasted peppers and courgettes, sugar snap peas and a cucumber, mint and yoghurt dip. 'Twas lovely!

[lilydaisyrose]

Pasta with smoked salmon in a creamy lemon garlicy sauce.
