I have BBQ chicken pizza planned for dinner tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. What does everyone else have on the dinner menu?

Sorry not sorry. I am celebrating surviving this financial year (and our team coming out in good shape) and taking a break from visiting fam with a cheeky dinner for one at a little seafood joint.Crispy skinned Barra in the way...OUTSIDE... listening to the ocean. Oh tropics you can go get stuffed in February but right now you are pretty special.

The wholesome and melodious root veg and bean soup that I cooked the beans for yesterday. Just got home; it's time to chop up the veg, saute the onions and bung everything else in for an hour or something until it all comes together. Lunch sorted for the next 4 days easily.

Pizza sounds tempting, but I shan't cave in until I get my tax return or get paid, whichever happens first.

Oh that sound awesome. Recipe or is it vibes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Vibes. I once had something similar at an aunt's and sort of made it based off my memory of that

My recent go to "dunno" meal has been either a cheese or a vegemite toastie.

Leek, bacon, barley and lentil soup, yum! And there’ll be leftovers which is a bonus

I was with you for the first two ingredients, the last two I'm not fond of. But if you are not an anti-legumist like I am it would be a very nice soup. And it is definitely the weather for it.

I have an Aldi lasagna that needs to be dealt with over tonight and tomorrow.

Thai red curry chicken and veg that I made yesterday. I use the Ayam curry pastes, they are pretty good for a quick meal with good flavour hit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I have some of their pastes to make chicken curry tomorrow - I can't remember which one I picked now, I think I might have gone yellow curry. I haven't had one for ages and am looking forward to it.

Don't have much time for making dinner tonight - I have those fresh chicken kievs from Aldi so going to air fry that with a side of veggies (some broccolini that needs using up) and maybe some chips too.

Kiev is always a good choice. I need to restock my freezer with a few crumbed options like that for when I need something quick and easy.

Korean Chicken Sandos, mmm!

Just as delicious as I imagined, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nothing. I had a curry for lunch and then work bought us pizzas so I had a couple slices. Now I don't need food!
