And tonight's nosh is......? Friday, 10/18/2013

Mushy pea curry - a syn=free invention of the Slimming World empire.

It sounds disgusting but is surprisingly tasty. For the uninitiated "mushy peas" are dried peas soaked and boiled to a mush (or spooned out of a can in my case).

2 tins of same, a tin of tomatoes, a tin of baked beans, onion and garlic and mushrooms (fried in a little "frylight" spray), curry powder (not curry sauce mix) and cooked in the slow cooker in my case. Some people blitz it to a puree but I can't see the point. As I said, it sounds disgusting but is yummy.

I'll be having it with cauliflower and rice pilaff (also syn-free) and, if I over did the curry powder, a little plain yoghourt on top followed by an orange. And, as I've been very good today, I will accompany it with a small (well, not very small) glass of claret.

Roasted vegetable soup, green salad and dinner rolls

Red gravy with sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, onions and anything else that isn't nailed down. Not sure on the pasta yet. It's a tossup between rigatoni and spaghetti.

Sounds delicious to me. I love mushy peas, although I've never been overly fond of the name.

Tonight we are having Southwestern Black Beans and Rice.

One pan oven food (unless I split it between two smaller pans ) of chicken Italian sausage, sweet peppers (one each yellow, orange, red and green), sweet onions and potatoes. Reds, if I have any left; AP whites if I don't.

Probably make a salad to go with, but I have time to decide on that one.

Since Katie H. doesn't live we us we rarely have dessert. *sigh*

We could remedy that. All you'd have to do is move nearby. And, by the way, there's plenty of butter pecan-rum cake left.

Stopped at the butcher shop when I was in town on Wednesday and bought a boatload of short ribs and a big bunch of oxtails.

So...tonight's fare is short ribs in the crock-pot, mashed taters, green beans, iced tea and (drum roll, please) butter pecan-rum cake for dessert.

It's Friday, so it's a takeaway! Beef and Pepper Masala, with the usual Pulau rice.

MyGawd Harry, your food always looks so wonderful. I love the start-to-finish photo lineup. Pretty sure that dish will be warming, what with its ingredients. Might need two chasers to cool things down.

I wasn't active when you were coming around before, but I must say I now know why you got such a rock-star welcome when you came back.

I checked my freezer and I am missing the three pieces of sausage I thought I had
So I am back to square one. Nothing else looked like anything I might be hungry for.

I thought you went to the store the other day Pac! Did you not pick up anything other than the beer?

Looks like you need to pay another visit then?

I'll buy some items there, but truth be told after seeing Harry's shrimp (no offense, Harry ), I kind of feel like something else now. And that would require a drive into the city, which I'm not sure I'm willing to do. Plus it will throw off my pup's schedule.
Hmmm, I wonder if I have any clams in the pantry
