HID is away so it'll be some sort of ethnic delivery takeaway cuisine. :)

Only if she puts the kettle on. ;)

One thing I'm noticing about Oliver is because of all the old Germans they aren't trying to hide the fresh chicken livers and hearts anymore. There's nothing better than a little fresh pate, s'truth.

Cold chicken noodle soup. The power is out

Re: Teatime Choices
 

The pot of spicy salsa verde I'm simmering down is bound to influence the supper menu, has to.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

hmmm. I'm making some home made beef kebabs for the BBQ but just contemplating what baste I can make to put on them.

I'm thinking a basic Olive Oil, Soy Sauce (if I have any in), honey for a bit of sweetness, garlic and salt & Pepper.

Any others offers / suggestions ?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I made a yellow split pea soup yesterday, but it didn't go down well with my other half, even though he loves all my other home-made soups.

No soy you could sub a little Worchester, still looks like the black stuff they squeeze out of grasshopper heads. If it was pork I'd say try some maple syrup. In combination with what you have listed , (though it sounds fine), I might add a dash of dijon or even yellow mustard. Are you marinating the kebabs beforehand? I usually use pork tenderloin, peppers onion and mushrooms and I marinate everything then sometimes just baste on ordinary bbq sauce (or whip one up with what's in the refridgerator door), to sweeten things up a touch.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'd normally marinate them for a few hours but wont be this evening. Just in, kncock them up, throw them on the Barbie and crack open a cold one sat on the deck.

Mustard sounds like a good idea. Like you - I'll see what's int eh fridge door and go from there :)

Right - work time finished. 20 minutes and I'll have my shorts on with a beer on the deck !

Re: Teatime Choices
 

You should try some maple syrup or pancake syrup on half of one and tell us if it's any good. I know some steak houses are using maple glaze.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I made mac and cheese tonight.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Sorry - only just picked up this message - BUT I actually did make 2 different glazes. One with Honey and one with Maple. Out of the 2, I actually prefered the honey but someone else preferred the Maple mix.

Worked out well though and one in the back of my mind to remember.

I even had a cauliflower that needed using so put some of that on the skewers too and that was better than expected.

Freshly caught pan fried cod with chips and peas is on tonight's agenda - providing the lads that just went out fishing catch their quota :)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I had caldo de pollo and tortillas, don't know about tonight but I'm tempted to spring for pizza from Pizza 97. Of course if I go fishing and get into the trout all that could change.
