Hah, I eat tinned beans all the time.think positive wrote:Good soup huh Stu!
I’d starve rather than eat tinned beans!
Bugger on the jaw Stu, hope it heals quick!
Having some friends for a bbq tomorrow (cannibals!) they asked what to bring hubby said toilet paper!
I said sticky date but it takes all kinds!
Red Kidney or Black beans in Mexican gear, mixed bean salad, baked beans on toast. Wouldn't eat tinned green beans if you paid me though.
Had 2 panadol and 2 neurofen when I got home, feeling better. No bleeding which is good. I'll repeat the dose of painkillers before bed and hopefully be all good tomorrow
P4S, is throwing tinned food the equivalent of "Let them eat cake"?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Yeah I thought of green beans I forgot about the other tins I do have in the cupboard!
Tonight was port Arlington potato cakes and a peace of grilled fish! Veging on the couch, stuff to do but can’t be bothered, I extended the building certificate. For another 6 months! Tomorrow, I’ll work tomorrow!

So by now I assume everyone has discovered the deliciousness of toilet paper gnocchi?
Any special lock down recipes to share?
I'm having a T Bone steak for dinner tonight, big bastard, inch thick and a big fillet. So I'm making my own mushroom pepper sauce to go with it. I make the recipe up each time, but tonight's version is:
Diced onion and garlic in a saucepan with some olive oil, butter and black peppercorns. Turn on and stir until the onion is translucent and you can smell this buttery, garlicky smell.
Add chopped mushrooms. Lots of them, whatever kind floats your boat. I used Swiss Brown and Portabello. Also a baby jar of green peppercorns and some stock powder.
Lid on, turn to low, saute/sweat for a while, stirring now and then.
After a while, once they've cooked down a bit, chuck in some white wine and leave to simmer.
When you're almost ready to eat it, chuck in some cream, stir it through and let simmer a bit but don't let it start bubbling or it turns to shit.
Serve over rare steak, or just on toast.

Really wasn't worth the trip.
Anyway, just made some identity crisis soup. ie, it doesn't know what it is.
Grabbed the remains of a coles roast chook with a best before date of 3 days ago, chuck in a saucepan with about 3 litres of water, a small handful of dry soup mix and a 500g bag of assorted diced veges. Slow boil for 3 hours, scoop the chicken carcass out and discard, tip in 500ml juices left over from doing the brisket in the crockpot on Sunday.
There's soup for lunch for a few days.

I am enjoying not commuting to work.
Did a pea and ham soup yesterday, runny version with extra veg, found and dusted off the bread maker and cooked a fresh loaf this morning. Soup and bread for lunch
Tonight I did chicken thighs in the dutch oven, cooked in a sauce with tomatoes, chicken stock, white wine, celery, leek mushrooms and stuff and made some dumplings out of last nights left over mash potato and veges. Just mulched it all up with some butter and self raising flour, made small dumplings and threw them in. All came up really schmick.

That sounds yum.
I made chow mein, added some red wine and a little chilli, I was like yum, and the eldest liked it, I asked hubby if he liked it. Nup. Huh? No. Hmm. What was different from usual I ask. Nothing I never like it. Well ok then. Thankyou for damn telling me. I made enough for tomorrow. He’s getting a belly anyway, he can damn starve!

Pea and ham. Yum!
After a week or so of exotic stuff (Moroccan, Turkish, Sri Lankan) we had old fashioned corned brisket with steamed broccoli and bubble and squeak. But I couldn't help myself. I usually make either a tomato-onion-garlic-ginger sauce for corned beef, or a traditional white sauce, or sometimes a white mustard sauce. So tonight I took a punt and tried a white sauce base with tomatoes and onion and mustard all stirred in. Yum! I'll do that one again.

Sounds interesting, clearly worked. Mustard with corned beef is like peas and mint sauce with roast lamb, just how you mix it.Tannin wrote:Pea and ham. Yum!
