we had grilled flathead with veg!
Didn't get there AJP. Aaron discovered my favourite Chinese takeaway had reopened after 6 weeks for refurbishments & treated me :) Then last night was the ILs nd tonight is my parents for dinner, so it'll have to be tomorrow now. Will let you know though....
:lol: no worries sarah!!
Dusty - I'm coming to your place for dinner - sounds yummo!! Hope you had a fun night!!
Tonight we are having Homemade Hamburgers
beef ragout in the slow cooker
Ooh, that sounds good. We're having goulash, buttered noodles and steamed beans.
bangers and mash with some veges.
I make it when DH is away because I love it and he hates it.
Dhaal and rice with a little kachumber.
i forgot the onions so DH has dashed to the shops.
Dominos ;)
Tossing up between a thai chicken stirfry with rice, or something I can cook in my new casserole pot that DH bought for me ;)
I want to do something in the pot, but I think I've used it to death over the last 2 weeks, and can't think of any new recipes :cryinglaugh:
Now... off to post a thread about that one ;)
mediteranian chicken in the slow cooker! smells good!
Home made spring rolls, honey soy nibblets and home made fried rice :)
OMG can i come to your house cai???? yum!!:
reminds me i must make some rice paper rolls soon!!
LOL AJP I have enough spring roll mix to feed an army :doh: Its a thai recipe I learnt from a thai woman and I always make more than I need to. Oh well spring roll mix in the freezer for next time LOL!
Did I mention we're having home made nutella ice cream for dessert ;)
We are having a roast lamb & vege cous cous salad with spinach. We had a roast lamb last night with roast veges and had WAY too much left over.
Italian meatball soup with fresh bread
yumm
Not sure if its everywhere or just here in SA, but there seems to be loads of very cheap duck selling in my local butchers shops........so, whilst it is years since I cooked duck, I have bought a bird & we are having roast duck tomorrow night..............with roast potatoes, steamed carrots and homegrown peas and roasted homegrown beetroot!
OMG Lucy that sounds divine :D
I think it must be in SA... haven't noticed Duck anywhere here :(
I made your Lemon & garlic chicken in the slow cooker last night... was lovely ;)
DH wants something with beef in it tonight... so off to look in the Slow Cooker recipe thread for night #3 in a row!!!! :cryinglaugh:
ETA Cai... when you have a spare sec... would LOVE the recipe for the spring roll mix the Thai lady gave you (if its not a secret recipe that you had to promise not to give out :))
Me too Cai :)
Not sure what's on the menu for this evening. Chicken something LOL!
me too cai!!!
tonight is pork stir fry!
Tonight I'm going to try Cai's marinated plum pork ribs in the slow cooker.... hhmmm :)
Have to teach until 7pm so it had to be something I can put on and leave... we'll have it with the Tilda rice that you put in the microwave - have you guys tried it, its yummo ;)
Have tried some of the other brands and they're average, but the Tilda one is really good.
Hhmm, Cai - If you see this in time ;)... is the recipe in the slow cooker recipe thread for 1kg ribs? I'll just do 1kg and if it looks too much I'll improvise :D
Lucy - I am making your lemon and garlic chicken slow cooker recipe tonight - looking forward to it!!!!
Laurin
Change of plans!!! :rolleyes:
DH came with me to the butcher and saw the beef ribs were on sale, so we're having them instead! (will have to do the pork ones next week some time :D)
So, here's the recipe for the ribs I've done - they've been in the slow cooker now since 2pm and are looking and smelling fabulous ;)
(Easiest recipe in the world!!!)
BBQ BEEF RIBS IN RICH BBQ SAUCE
1.5kgs beef ribs (I got a little over 2kgs)
2 medium onions diced
15mL soy sauce
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 Tbsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
Salt/Pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients except ribs and onion in a bowl.
Place ribs & onion in slow cooker and stir onion through.
Pour sauce mix through.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hrs or on high for 4-5 hrs.
( I doubled the ingredients to make twice the amount of sauce... DH likes them thick and sticky :lol:... they should be good by the time he finally gets to eat them, which will be around midnight tonight :rolleyes:!!!)
It says you can fry the ribs in a pan first if you wish to, but I didn't bother :redface:
Will let you know how it turns out... but its looking and smelling fantastic so far :D
Well I've already made chicken satay stir-fry (YUM YUM!) and will make fried rice later on and we'll have leftover spring rolls from last weekend (dinner went out the window and we ended up freezing the rolls and not even having rice!) Was supposed to be G-Day (god parents day whom are vegetarian) and I was going to do all this veggie style but the kids godmumma is sick so we went the meat alternative :) I was going to make hokey pokey ice cream but after 3 attempts to make hokey pokey without burning it I've given up for today. I found a good recipe on da toobz so I might try that tomorrow and freeze for the following weekend.
Wow Cai, that sounds delish. With no DH I'm not going to a lot of effort. I'll probably do a batter with pureed brocolli in it and use it with the left over corned beef MIL cooked on Friday night. And steam up a few other vegies as well. Battered left over meat is a childhood favourite of DH - they call it crumby-wumby LOL.
left over beef ragout from the slow cooker a few weeks back, just needs defrosting!
OH MR that sounds so bizarre you'll have to share the recipe!
It's not that bizarre Niliac!! It's just normal batter - flour and milk - and my own twist it to add some pureed vegie to it. My boys are pretty good vegie eaters truth be told, but a bit extra never hurt anyone ;) . Then you batter left over meat - roast meat or corned beef work well and deep fry.
I'm having a lamb sausage with a brown rice, roasted vegetable and fetta salad.
We are having freshly caught Flathead & Bream fillets cooked on the bbq, dear Hubby and eldest son went fishing very early this morning in the freezing cold,but managed to catch enough fish to have a feed, and I?m making home made chunky chips for the kids and a small tossed salad for me and Hubby,with lots of lemon juice..... for the fish and tartare sauce !
We had plain old spag bol and salad tonight for the first time in ages.......it was lovely.........
Ok, that's the problem with telling everyone what you are doing. Tom with his throat infection just wanted cuddles so I had to do something quick and easy - so I did crumby wumby and tempura veg. Quite nice but I'm not used to deep fried food and now my tummy feels funny LOL.
I made Beef Strog last night, and I have to say it was the best one I've made :D (Was exceptionally proud of myself!)
Was sooo yum, I almost could have made myself sick eating too much :redface: :cryinglaugh:
We are taking BIL home tonight, so will be having whatever my FIL is making for us (Italian chef who's bored after selling his restaurant 8 months ago ;)) ... so I know it will be something Italian and something yummy :)
chicken drumsticks roasted in the slow cooker!!! yum

I'm making the Osso Bucco recipe that Chloe posted in here with the McCormicks Slow Cooker sachet.
Have been thinking about doing it for over a week now, so I hope its yummy :D
Tonight is comfort food because we're all coming down with colds - home made fish & chips :)
we had roast lamb and veg last night - was delish!!! just asked DH what he wants for dinner tonight and got the standard "I dunno" - so i guess it's up to me to decide!
hope your cold doesn't get too nasty sarah!
