...what would you have??
I find myself in need of inspiration...I can have anything I want for dinner tonight - it is just Charlotte and I home tonight.
I was trying to think of what I wanted, but there are so many options and I am feeling indecisive today!! lol
So...
What would you have if you could have anything?
I have a hankering for roast veges. Not too fussed what I eat them with - I just want some crispy roast potato with fluffy insides... Is there anything yummier than a perfectly roasted 'tater?
Other than that I could go a chicken kiev or a yummy Thai curry (shame they're so fattening :( ) or a pho or burritos - mmm now my mouth is watering. I should stop thinking about food before I drool on my lappy and short it out.
I'm cooking a beef roast with vegies in my slow cooker. Will be ready in about 40 minutes :D
id love thai!!!!
Have pork, need inspiration myself. LOL. Think I might grab out the chinese cookbook my mum sent.
I would love to have my dad's garlic prawns.
we're having t-bone and roast veg so all yummy stuff here
would really like to make some chicken pasta bake with a cheese sauce and HEAPS of veg - but i think that might have to wait a while - very time intensive with chopping the veg and stuff - and DH leaving for work tonigh for who knows how long - we're back on simple dinners for a little while! (made it the other day to freeze some meals - and then DH and I ate it all over a couple of days - tooo yummy!)
i have this dilemma myself tonight! except im really nauseous from anti biotics.. and ive hardly eaten in two days.. i need something yummy and filling!
i am craving some eggs on toast tho.. not exactly what i was thinking of.. but at least its something!!!
Scallop Sashimi w/African Flavours
Soft Shell Crab Sushi
Black Cod w/Miso
Wagyu Tartar w/Caviar
All washed down with some ice cold sake served in bamboo :p
Could I make any of this right now... Hell no. So Pork & Gnocchi will do. *cry*
Risotto! I just love it.
Ummm... a roast of any type with any vegies cos I haven't yet made one on my own. Ever. :redface:
Rockpool bar and grill in melbourne have this dish of goats cheese tortalini with king prawns burnt butter and saltanas omg i could just devour 5 bowls!
:
Shame on you lol!
Are you serious you've never made a roast??? OMG, it's so easy! LOL.:
We are having pumpkin soup and yummy bread I got from the farmers markets today.
But If I had a choice I would be going to my favourite Italian restaurant with my gorgeous man, and have: bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, chilli garlic prawns entree, braised lamb shanks, and to top it off, ricotta pancakes, with a yummy bottle of wine to wash it all down....mmmmm, yum!!
i wouldnt mind a nice madras beef curry..but i will have to settle for the yummy vege soup i made
I forgot to say that if i could have anything it be to go to a restaurant and have someone else do the cooking and i would just order dessert for all 3 courses!
In reality we are having salt and pepper squid and prawns with chips and salad (dh's choice but sounds good to me)
lol Mel - you will get there!! I seem to remember a thread about successful bikkies? A Roast cant be too far behind ;)
Cai - ooh deary me...I think we need to go to Vue de Monde when I am in town and satisfy some culinary fancies hehehe
Wagyu Tartar sounds devine
Kristy - LOVE IT!! Although, I think I would have to reverse my ticker :redface:
Thanks girls! My mouth is watering and I am getting too hungry to actually cook :rofl:
Perhaps Bump and I deserve a night out :)
Ummm yes. Unfortunately I'm serious :redface::
Ahhh I had to give up on Vue, it was my fave restaurant till we had a run in with Shannon. Who acted like a prat when my gf complained (rightfully so) after a birthday party we held there (for me) was of very poor quality and service. Gone are the good old days of Vue in Carlton before he got a big head.
But we could do Pearl, or Nobu (which is where I've had all that from LOL) or a billion other places ;) Or we could just save up a squllion dollars and go to london and do the fat duck :p
I hope you get to have a night out... enjoy! For a culinarian (yes I made that up!) I don't know how you do it in WA (and I mean that lovingly since we literally swapped, you moved there from here and I moved here from there!)
Niliac you just listed all my fave restaurants
i hate oysters with every fibre of my being
but i had the deep fried oysters with wasabi mayo and seaweed salad at Nobu and loved it
and nearly ordered 100!
Mel - let me know when you want to cook a roast and i'll talk you through it on MSN (just no improvising - we need to make sure there is no fiasco like the cottage pie incident!)
I'd love either mexican wish heaps of sangria, or alternately some yummy indian food, at a restaurant for once!
All I would like for dinner tonight is PAFQ. I am in such a foul mood being sick and having two sick children who refuse to sleep, so I apologise.
PAFQ?
:hug: If I had some ear plugs I'd send them your way. I so know how that feels, and I hope you get it xxx
PAFQ: Peace and Freaking Quiet ;)
Peace and Quiet, I'm guessing....
:hug: Netix, wish you get some PAFQ soon!
Arimeh - My husband taught me how to do roasts! I never cooked them before either! :redface:
Anything for dinner tonight? Ummm....can I please have a medium rare thick juicy sirloin steak with creamy garlic prawns and thick chips to soak up the juices and a side of green salad with basalmic dressing....yummmmmm!!
Thank goodness the calories are virtual! :D
Thank you all. It is quiet here atm, and I think I've had my dinner. A coffee. That's about all I can manage with one hand.
Over the last few days I haven't been able to wash the dishes, so now there are none clean, and having managed to do washing and drying in amongst screaming children, if I want something clean, its on a pile next to the back door. My throat hurts from yelling, and my bb's hurt from a certain little boy seemingly trying to turn himself inside out while still sucking. Please excuse my vent. Everyone else's dinner's sounded very yum, but yours Cai was a bit too fancy for me, I could never imagine having that (on the first page I think).
