Pizza - went out this evening and caught it myself!
About 9 inches wide, if you want to know the size.;)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We went out as well. Went for an Indian and had four types of naan. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

4?:blink:

Garlic every time for me :thumbsup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We had garlic, peshwari, keema and one I can't remember the name but it had curried potatoes in it. We bought some home. :)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Give the place a name check, then if it was that good!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We'll be having some of that tomorrow night, it's lovely. What the hell is it called :confused:

Where did you go?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Aloo naan.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Hello

Re: Teatime Choices
 

This is like living in an old people's home....:p

Re: Teatime Choices
 

An extra large pizza with pepperoni, capicollo, onions, mushrooms and extra cheese delivered by Nat’s Pizza. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Edited to say they forget the extra cheese on an otherwise splendid pizza. :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

From the menu on their website it looks like my kind of place. I used to really like Torino‘s on Kingsway back in the day

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We usually order from the Firewood Pizza place but decided to try somewhere else. It was disappointing that they forgot the extra cheese.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I‘ll be having leftover chicken curry and rice. I like the jars of curry sauce, but $4-$5 seems bit high, so I bought a 1.89 litre jug of Gordon‘s red Thai curry sauce for $12 and it made quite a few meals. I wish they‘d had a yellow Thai one, but all they have besides the red is a ginger curry, and I‘m not sure if I want the big one of that. Anyone else tried the Gordon‘s sauces?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Buy your own spices and man it up and make your own stonkin curry.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Sometimes I do my own but I only keep Madras curry powder on hand and I like to make beef and green peppers like back in the hippy days. I actually like most of those sauces and once in awhile the butter chicken. For a special treat sometimes I take a friend to the buffet at Siam Restaurant about 3 blocks away and there are all sorts of exotic goodies there.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Thanks for the recipe Oink! It looks like a gooder and I‘ll try it.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

That oops moment when you realize you have 2 drinks going at the same time can make the difference between chicken in mushroom sauce and coq au vin. With rice, mmmmmmmm.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Bit of a disaster tonight....the Mrs found monkfish in the local supermarket which is a rare occurance so bought an enormous tail. After frickin around with skinning and removing the membrane (which is bloody hard work) I did a monkfish ragout recipe from a British cookbook we brought over. The recipe calls for creme freche which we can't get here. (Yes I know you can make it but I didn't have the 8-14 hrs needed to do this). So I tried greek yogurt instead. Which curdled nastily.:( We ate it anyway & it tasted OK but looked like sh1t.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I think Philadelphia are now doing a creme fraiche type thing now!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Having little shish kebabs, cheese lumps, gyoza, stuffed mushrooms and mini quiches courtesy of UCLA, now to decide if Cal Berkeley or Wisconsin will have better nibbles. Might check out both. :thumb up: Its a good job they don't have free drinks as I was somewhat led astray last night by a wandering goliard.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Mini sliders, chicken satay skewers, some kind of samosa things and shrimps. Top drawer Wisconsin. :thumb up: I might make Michigan now but I got a text saying they've eaten most of the food. :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Oooooh last night I was at the VIP do for the Sun Run with all the hob nibs and elite runners at The Hyatt dahntahn - v nice lil salads in cocktail glasses , loads of nice cheese, risotto balls, fruit and so much booze!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

St. George's Day, time for something British! (Also, it's blowing a bloody gale and the rain is coming down like stair rods). Toad in the Hole - I've just made the batter, yum yum.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

26 degrees today in Alberta so another BBQ tonight :thumbup:

Homemade lamb burgers with spicy yoghurt sauce, moroccan couscous and salad and a few beers.

Life is good.......:thumbsup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

ST Georges so going Polynesian Lebanese tonight!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

After the trauma of the soggy breaded chicken wings last week my faith in the land of opportunity is restored. Admittedly not as many choices of flavours of our Nova Scotlan adventurers but I had two superb orders of hot wings at Earls for my tea tonight. All washed down with a couple of rather cheeky pale ales. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I christened my new Weber with a couple of Rib Eyes, and oil brushed asparagus, peppers, and courgette. In the oven I did a couple of line caught salmon. All topped off with mashed potato, sweet potato, and carrot.

For afters everybody tucked into puddings from Whole Foods

A fine feast :nod:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Did you catch them yourself?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Oh good god no. My Father In Law did the hard work. I just took it out of the freezer, chopped it up and removed bones :thumbup:

I've only fished once in my life many many years ago. I caught a passing duck and never tried again. very traumatic.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

just spat me tea across the keyboard!! poor duck!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

It was on the Norfolk Broads. I cried. My dad laughed. The duck was angry :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I had a light tea of a couple of sardine sandwiches in the sauce of my nan's recipe.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Re vamped curry house on The Drive - siddathas - nothing special . But sneaky Aubergine in something - I know look pregnant :( I like Aubergine but it doesn't like me :( ouch !

Re: Teatime Choices
 

First visit to Paros on Main Street Airdrie- I know it looks like a rundown Greek Taverna, the kind of place you might see on a tatty UK seafront, but was well impressed. The food was excellent, huge portions, good value and great atmosphere even if the decor is a bit dated. Can recommend the Flaming Cheese starter, but quite scary (and rather warm) if you happen to be sat next to the waiter when he ignites it!! :eek:

However not sure that belly dancing is authentic Greek entertainment, us ladies found it more amusing watching the hubbies not quite knowing where to look, lol :rofl:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

This is what I had for my tea tonight after a mate dropped it off this afternoon. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

For once I'm truly stumped as to what to have for out tea tonight. HID won't feel like cooking after her sports day and would no doubt vote for sushi although I'd prefer an Indian so there's a certain impasse brewing. What's everyone else having tonight?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

probably boring old pizza, usual for a Friday as we're bogged down with kids soccer etc so quick and easy is the name of the game!! and wine of course:)

If I had my choice tonight, i'd probably go with a nice beef roganjosh.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'm thinking about a Bhuna

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We are having a curry tomorrow, albeit a Pataks curry, but HID is making it so I am not complaining. Tonight, it is home made lasagne, which I am making so I had better get off the computer and get my b*** in gear.:)
