I made a different sort of take on braised chicken with creamy potatoes and mushrooms, using rice instead of potatoes, and we're having the leftovers since it made a lot and there are only two of us. Briefly, I cut a chicken into serving pieces, browned them in butter in a cast-iron casserole, took them out to saute onions, mushrooms, and garlic, added well-seasoned chicken broth, sour cream, white wine, a sprinkle of grated hard cheese, and herbs, then stirred in some basmati rice and topped it with the chicken and its juices, then baked it for an hour. Green veg or just a salad would go well with it. It turned out so good my chef-in-training husband made me go type up the recipe.

Some sort of take away and not until late in the evening, haven't even got up to go for breakfast yet. Hungover as a dog.

Usually have a roast but oh offered to take me to my favourite place for dinner today.

Went there and it was booked out. Going back at 6, I'm starving now though.

I'm having a friend over. Will probably have liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Heading out later on, depends what's on the menu, but usually I just go for the bacon and cabbage, or roast chicken, and if that's not available, then beef. I'm not a big fan of fish dishes.

Yoghurt.

Brindor

Tomato Soup, comfy as feck.

Leftovers are just fantastic.

How do you re-heat pasta without it being all sticky?

I've tried adding water a couple of times and re-heating it, but it just makes the pasta all soft and gloopy

byte

Boiling bacon and cabbage. Lock o' tatties. Mmmm

I do it in a big cast iron casserole dish in the oven, I make extra sauce and heat it on the hob so when the dish is reheated I pour over more sauce and grate parmesan over the top.. the pasta was cooked in the sauce yesterday so it doesn't tend to go sticky like it would cooked in water.. or maybe, I'm just a culinary genius ...

If it's plain pasta, heat a pot of water to a rolling boil and plunge one serving of pasta into it (easiest to use a wire strainer) for just long enough to heat it up, just a few seconds really. Repeat for each additional serving. This is how we did it when I worked in a restaurant. It helps if the pasta is not overcooked to begin with, of course.

Edit: We cooked and portioned all of our pasta in the morning and promptly cooled it in a special refrigerated unit (NOT the big walk-in, where it would pick up off-flavors). It may sound awful to cook pasta in advance, but you really have to if you're using dried pasta instead of fresh (which most small restaurants must do), and it honestly does not affect the quality or taste. Customers will not wait for you to cook dried pasta for each order (even if you had the hob space). And holding cooked pasta warm in a steam tray... rank.

Fishy coconuty curry, saffron rice, cheesecake.

Nine southern fried chicken goujons and circa 45 oven chips.

My son had to cook a spag bol as part of his HW for school, so we all had that, and very nice it was too.
Did the WW take on it. So, tomorrow we will have a roast breast of turkey with stuffing, turnip, peas and carrots with mash and turkey gravy. Just reversed the menu a little!

You know, it just struck me how cool it was that your son's school assigns cooking as homework We never did this when I was a girl in the American Midwest. To be sure, I used to hate eating over at my friends' houses because their mothers liked to make casseroles with tinned soup, were terrified of garlic and spices, boiled pasta into mush, added spoonfuls of mayonnaise to the mash, and thought Hungarian goulash was made with mince and elbow macaroni. I would rather have been served an honest hot dog with potato crisps on the side. I don't know what they would have made of spaghetti sauce. No, I'm a liar. A tin of tomato soup and a pound of mince, topped with cheese from the shiny green cylinder.

Gonna change the subject a little here. Brought my son down to the local hotel in town for a carvery, both had the ham with everything and very nice it was too.
I noticed a family sitting at a table near by having their dinner and keeping an eye on the football on the telly. What struck me was everyone of them were wearing tracksuits and more the grey cotton variety that you where slobbing round the house. I know there money is as good as anybody else's and they weren't loud or anything but come on, it's Sunday and your going down to a hotel for a bite to eat, at least put on a pair of jeans and a shirt or a decent t-shirt. They just looked so chavy, or am i just being a snob?

Satriale

Rare steak and mash with cauliflower in a cheesy sauce and a nice merlot. Then lemon and lime cheesecake and a bit of trifle. I'm fuller than a fat boys underpants but now I have to eat a curry coleslaw chip cause of another thread.

Eh, who knows. Where I'm from (Houston), going about looking like that deliberately, assuming you have a choice to dress differently, signals, "we're rich, f*** you". Or they could have just moved (or helped someone else move) into a new house, or came straight from some not-posh activity requiring basic cheap clothing, or were at a midpoint traveling from one side of the country to the other. So long as they were otherwise considerate, I don't really see a problem. Book, cover.

Edit: I confess I have been guilty of going downstairs to the hotel cafe in, um, not my very best outfit. I think I was even worse than your family in gray tracksuits once. I was in the 5-star Kempinsky hotel at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai (for business!), and realized at 7:30 in the morning, while standing in line for a made-to-order omelet, that I had forgotten to brush my hair, was wearing my bedroom slippers, and had tied my computer's cat5 connection cable around my neck like a scarf so I wouldn't forget where I put it. Nerd out.

Aldi garlic sausages, creamy mash & onion gravy.

Thankfully my Mam made chicken delicious, with rice and roast potatoes. For those that don't know chicken delicious is also known as chicken and broccoli bake.

If my Mam hadn't saved the day id imagine all I could have stretched to myself today would be a sandwich. My husband and daughter are relieved needless to say.

If that is what I think it is, it is nearly identical to a dish my mother used to make in the late 70s in the American Midwest called "chicken divan". Someone in church gave her the recipe for a potluck. I haven't seen it in 25 years, lol.

Had a google of chicken divan and bingo! With a few adjustments, no milk in delicious, water instead and there's mayonnaise and curry powder involved in the sauce.

I think it could be my death row meal. To me comfort food at its finest.

Hillbillies breast and a bun, chips and battered sausage....was at a wedding yesterday so am very fragile today....this should help with the enormous hangover I have

Nobody has the traditional Sunday roast anyone? Ethnic food on Sunday was sacrilege back in the day.

What you need is a good fry for supper with some extra runny eggs.
