My dad ended up with the gp recently, after eating gone eggs that he was too macho to throw out.
So not a good idea! to mess with use by dates.

I have such a colcannon craving now Irishbird. Nyom nyom!

Tar.Aldarion · 13-12-2009 5:16pm

The eggs were great, I can hide their goneoffness, I'm a great chef.

entropi · 13-12-2009 6:21pm

wonderboysam · 12-03-2010 9:16pm

Quorn nuggets, beans + lots of chocolate ice cream :-)

12-03-2010 10:45pm

Falafel, hummous and salad.

I'm branching out into the big bad world of quorn this week.
They have burgers for 75 cent in Tesco. Wish me luck!

watna · 13-03-2010 7:53am

I've recently turned more veggie. I'm not a vegetarian but recently my OH and myself decided not to buy and cook meat anymore but that if we were eating out or were at a friend's house then we would not be strict on it. I like the idea of being a vegetarian but I'm not ready to make a huge leap! Eggs and dairy are fine, it's just the meat so my cooking for the next while is going to be meatless!

Last night I made falafel, hummous with pitta.

Tonight I'm making a sticky onion and cheddar quiche with a mango salad. Just need to get my arse off the couch!

watna · 13-03-2010 8:58am

Update: Tart was really delicious and I happened to have frozen some pastry last time I made some which I'd forgotten about - so it didn't actually take too long. Double yay!

Tar.Aldarion · 13-03-2010 9:01am

Sounds yummy. Hummous though, one day I'll like it, I'm sure I will!

Hummus = awesome. I can't get enough of it. I've made my own before too but tahini is quite hard to come by so I haven't done it in a while.

I had basil pesto hummous yesterday which was like pesto but creamy and had chickpeas in it and it was really nice too. Maybe you could try that to get in to hummous?

Tar.Aldarion · 13-03-2010 10:51am

Oh might try that, I loveeeeee chickpeas, can't get enough these days, and basil!

I just have to try things for years to like them...same with me and all vegetables. If somebody told me what I am eating noew a few years ago I'd laugh in their face.

Kevin JM · 13-03-2010 3:58pm

This is a very inspiring thread guys. Humous is indeed really awesome.

This mild Mixed beans (Red Kidney, White beans) and Aubergine curry is what I had last night. I made the curry sauce from scratch. I was very happy with how it turned out

:

I wanted to try it with chickpea but I did not have any at home and was too lazy to go to Tesco

taram · 13-03-2010 4:26pm

Walnuts, Cashel Blue cheese, roast beetroots and sliced apples salad with a baked potato. Forgot how nice Cashel Blue is, may have eaten a bit too much

smellslikeshoes · 13-03-2010 11:49pm

All the talk of Falafel pushed me to make some tonight. Didn't work out exactly how planned though, had a few beers in me already at that stage which didn't help and they pretty much just disintegrated on me :pac:
The blender I have isn't great and I'm thinking they probably needed to be blended better. I ended up just draining the oil from what was left of them and throwing it in a wrap with chips and some humous. Wasn't too bad in the end though.

Kevin JM · 18-03-2010 1:00am

Made the following a few weeks ago I think. It wasn't that bad and I was quite pleased with the stuffing and how it turned out. I couldn't resist taking a nice picture of the whole dish:

scrambled tofu mixed with mashed potato and vegan cheese powder. I am very happy with this one

maameeo · 19-03-2010 4:20pm

that looks and sounds fabulous! i must go buy some tofu and experiment!

i had toasted bagel last night for dinner

Shenshen · 22-03-2010 11:54am

Pasta with a roasted pepper and olive sauce... very yummy. And garlic bread (couldn't stuff enough garlic into the pasta sauce

)

Duddy · 23-03-2010 11:12pm

Crispy Quorn Fillets, Potatoes, topped with Garlic and Pepper Sauce=)

sweet-rasmus · 24-03-2010 12:16am

Bottle of 'Seeds of Change' red pepper pasta sauce, pasta and butter beans for me

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 25-03-2010 8:10pm

Spaghetti with a glug of oil, generous spoon of tofutti, cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion and garlic, steamed mushrooms and kale. Really good (if I do say so myself), and took less than fifteen minutes. I'm painfully full now though

frecklz · 02-04-2010 5:59pm

Roast Veg and Butter Bean Pie with Basil Mash. From the Cornucopia Cookbook. It's my bible.:)

pandora_mole · 02-04-2010 8:26pm

chickpea & mushroom masala curry with steamed rice! From scratch of course.:rolleyes:

Ate far too much of course.:pac:

And then drank two cups of tea after that.:P

Tar.Aldarion · 02-04-2010 8:30pm

mushrooms, onions, garlic, carrots, broccolli, mung beans dutch beans, chickpeas, peas, sweetcorn, quorn stirfry. mmm

Censorsh!t · 03-04-2010 1:24am

I wish I had that! Although i threw loads of garlic in my chips to try and make up for it

Censorsh!t · 03-04-2010 2:10am

i hadnt had it in so long! It was so so so good. So good.

And i was gonna get it tonight, but the place didnt have it

:(:(

Tar.Aldarion · 03-04-2010 2:13am

Stop rubbing it in. I'm going to try and find somewhere at lunch in college tomorrow that has them now grr

Censorsh!t · 03-04-2010 2:28am

awh, i've made myself want some more now:(

Tar.Aldarion · 03-04-2010 2:35am

Muahaha back fired.I want to sleep but I also am wondering how bad would my attempt at homemade garlic cheese chips be..

Censorsh!t · 03-04-2010 2:39am

I've tried homemade ones quite a lot, and they never turn out as good. Ever. Ever

Tar.Aldarion · 03-04-2010 2:42am

lmao. Just as I expected. I have like a garlic dip from apache, a few cloves of garlic, bag of potatoes and some cheddar saying cooooome on, you know you want to. I can just imagine how bad I would make them

Censorsh!t · 03-04-2010 2:46am

yerah sure, have a bash at it:p

Tar.Aldarion · 03-04-2010 2:48am

I'll be the laughing stock of the what did you eat for dinner last night thread. Half raw cheesy potato lumps of garlic dish, mmm.

Might be a good idea for the veggie cooking club thread heh

If anybody sees this tomorrow and knows anywhere with good ones in dublin post!

Whispered · 04-04-2010 7:47pm

I made a brocoli and cauliflower crumble. I've never made a savoury crumble before. It's usually a dessert recipe for me. Have to say, it came out nice.

I want to try a recipe for savoury icecream for the next time I make it. It'll be like a dessert shaped dinner.

Michellenman · 04-04-2010 7:51pm

I went to the mongolian bbq last night. Savage. Can't complain about the food really, considering you practically make it yourself :P

taram · 05-04-2010 8:21pm

I had some sushi that despite being filled with dubious looking items from this photo, was delicious! That was last night, tonight I had chilli with quorn mince, kidney beans and way too much garlic as I had an accident with a bag of frozen chopped garlic and leaning over into the pan too much :P Still was savage though!

...I fail at posting pictures, so click the attachment for blurry, dubious looking seaweed and rice blobs.

syncosised · 07-04-2010 10:49am

They look quite nice!

I didn't have much time last night, so I had a multi-seed ciabatta with mixed leaves, mayonnaise, feta cheese, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. I'm not quite as adventurous as everyone else on here, but regardless it was still delicious!

Ouh was it tasty? I've been meaning to go. It is spiced tofu?

I had a barley bake yesterday.

It was lovely. Nope, the tofu is just plain. It's basically 4 stations. The first has all the veg and meats (separate, obviously) and tofu. The second station has all the spices and salts, you add these on top of what ever you've got in your bowl. Then the 3rd station has all the sauces, you throw whatever takes your fancy on to your food and spices and then head to fourth station where its all stirfried in front of you! Really lovely.

Although, the stirfrying is just a huge flat hot plate on top of flames. So even though they keep each persons food separate the food is moved around the hot plate and your food may be on the same surface where meat has just been cooked and they use the same cutlery to toss for everything too. This doesn't really bother me but it may bother some other veg*ns

They've a good deal on at the moment. We got starter (uncooked/salads), main course (All you can eat, you can go up as many times as you want) and dessert (ice creams, fudge cakes, nothing overly special) for €23.99 each on a saturday night. Quite good I thought

Censorsh!t · 14-04-2010 11:39pm

A really good aubergine red thai curry. I love thai food so much! Yum.

Tar.Aldarion · 14-04-2010 11:58pm

Vegetable soup from a carton, no time to eat these days, ah well.

Lia_lia · 15-04-2010 2:00am

Mushroom and carrot and bean-curd risotto...and garlic bread.
