Lately I've had to economise, and this means back to cooking lots of my own meals that'll carry over for lunch as well.

This week's was a flan/quiche thing, filled with onion, roast capsicum, mushroom and brocoli. Makes 4 large slices, plenty for lunch and dinner, with some rice.

I just ate a sausage roll with my last bit of the flan. I feel a wee bit ill now.

I can't decide what to make for dinner, but I'm thinking some kind of stew or stroganoff or something I can make with the steak and veg I have.

flan thing??

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:49 (twenty-two years ago)

thinking abt the pate.
i am a pate fiend.

*slinks to fridge stealthily*
*cracks door*
*reaches in and deftly removes pate*
*retreats smoothly, with crackers*

gggrrrgggggllleeeee

Flan=quiche. Pastry shell, eggs&cream fillinf with veg and cheese on top, baked... is that not a flan? I call it a quiche... I dunno... my brain hurts :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Flan=mexican creme brulee at least in the US

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, flan is a mexican desert, custard like.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Well a quiche is custard as well, just not sweet :) I have seen flan used in that context as well as dessert... but then I am very tired today so excuse me if I'm blathering... ughr can I go home now?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Here in California the deciding factor is the presence of cheese and sugar, A quiche is savory, and involves egg and cheese as the base.

A flan is a custard-like sweet dessert in California at least.

But you can call it whatever you want!

And you should find a comfy bed to retire to ;-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh I wish, its only 2.45pm and I'm at work! *cries*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

For breakfast i had a BLT, coffee, fries, and a chocolate shake.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

And that kind of tided me over for the rest of the day.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think flan is flan all over.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm, i'm getting a visual on that that is rather strange....

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Very sick today, but have made a bruiseberry pie anyway: standard fruit pie, four parts blueberry to one part blackberry. I'm eating a piece of it now, and didn't let it cool down enough to actually be pie so much as "bowl of hot fruit + crust."

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, and you gotta splash a little port in with the fruit, just a little. No lemon juice, port. (Usually I would use more blackberries but I wanted a mostly blueberry pie today.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm kinda jealous of Tep. But you're old, right? Plenty time, plenty time...

Our kitchen is too messy to cook right now. Bah.

― David. (Cozen), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

SPAGHETTI

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm not quite old enough to mind being called old :) But yeah, I've been cooking for a long time, and have cooked most of the meals I've eaten in the last .. what, thirteen years now, I guess. (My mother worked many hours when I was in high school, so I did the cooking, which meant "microwaved marshmallows" wasn't gonna cut it anymore.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

How old are you then Tep? If you don't mind me asking.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been assuming he's a "young" 79.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

28!

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup, old.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I like to think of it as "too old for clowns, too young for golddiggers."

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Do 21, do 21!!!

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

No no, I was really bad at being 21.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I had some Thai Beef Salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, grilled beef and hot pepper sauce), some flank steak fried rice with jalapenos, steamed pork dumplings and a reeses. (nb, i cooked none of this however I supervised it's cooking.)

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 September 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a slice of pizza and ice cream. But I made bread last night and corn pancakes. I also made roast vegetable and black beans this week.

I am going to try to make chicken stock and with that make matzo ball soup again.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 13 September 2003 05:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Today we'll have pasta with aubergines and olives for lunch. This morning I had a banana smoothie, peach yoghurt and chocolate paste toast. This evening probably salad with tuna or sth.

― nathalie (nathalie), Saturday, 13 September 2003 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

a Sloppy Guiseppe Pizza Express pizza.

which I must defrost! thanks for reminding me, Tep.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 13 September 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, speaking of reminders, my new watch -- once I learn how to wear it (I'm taking it to a watchatician) -- doesn't have an alarm, so I'll be burning more things, I guess.

On deck today: ribs. It's Saturday. Ribs.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

about to make a hearty breakfast w/ eggs and toast. just made some extra-strength coffee.

― smoky topaz (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

had scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and sausage this morning. Should've eaten something else as I'm now on my way to work and will probably regret not eating again shortly. oh well.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

pad thai. now cleansing my palate w/ rainbow ices.

― smoky topaz (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Paging Jode: clean the kitchen, it's a shithole, I can't cook in it.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

pizza was nice. Just had some peanut butter sandwiches. And an apple. I discovered today that there was one tree which i'd somehow failed to notice when I picked the apples a couple of weeks back, so once again I'm inundated with the things.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

a boiled egg

― duane, Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

The girlfriend ended up staying in instead of going out, so ribs might wait (depends on how late I work). Chicken pot pie's about to come out the oven.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

coffee, H2O,

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 14 September 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Pasta with a homemade (uncooked) tomato (homegrown), onion, basil, garlic, vinegar, olive oil sauce. With garlic bread and a bottle of red.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 14 September 2003 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Dumpster delight. A 50 cent can of Heinz cheezy beans, with home grown tomatoes, on some of the bread rolls found in a dumpster (a few hundred of them), and some Lay's BBQ chips also found in a dumpster (a whole van load.) Next week a hundred or more people are going to get free meals from this stuff.

― sucka (sucka), Sunday, 14 September 2003 07:28 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Sunday! So, sausage butties, obv.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 14 September 2003 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt, you need to post recipes. Any time you mention food, it sounds like something out of a Roald Dahl book. In a good way, though!

(I say this having made toad in the hole before, of all things. Why? Because it's frickin called toad in the hole, how could anyone need another reason?)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Sausage Butties: Cook a sausage, butter a roll, add the two. Apply ketchup.

― David. (Cozen), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, admittedly that sounds less exotic.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

getting ready to make a simple sunday dinner treat.
the lamb chops, in my throw-together simple style--in the pan, olive oil, garlic, shallot, rosemary, a few Cabo tomatoes, throw it on a bed of greens and sprinkle some cheese over it (haven't decided which kind)

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Since my vow to start doing more cooking, I bought a filet of tilapia at the market yesterday. Trouble is, I dont know what I'm supposed to do with it. Someone help.

last week i had cinnamon-raisin buttermilk pancakes with blueberries. YUM.

― Maneating Leopards of India (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 29 July 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i love pancakes, but i haven't had any in ages. i was rarely allowed them as a kid because of all the sugar in the syrup and the relative lack of nutritional value, and i think i still have a mental block.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 29 July 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot stop eating these new twisty cheez-its. THEY ARE SO GOOD THEY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Thursday, 29 July 2004 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

seven years pass...

srsly amazing Chinese BBQ sauce (making this ahead of time for some lamb meatballs) (i used a nice mango honey from whole foods and it really makes a difference):

1 cup dry sherry
1 cup hoisin sauce
1 cup ketchup
4 tbsp. minced peeled fresh ginger
4 tbsp. rice vinegar
2 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. sriracha or hot chili sauce
1/2 tsp. five-spice powder
2 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation:
Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook mixture 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

― Sgt. Dee Dee The Brass Cupcake McCall (get bent), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 00:17 (fourteen years ago)

also, organic ketchup = no HFCS

― Sgt. Dee Dee The Brass Cupcake McCall (get bent), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 00:21 (fourteen years ago)
