Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

[PTree15]

I will be having tofu quiche, a small salad of greens with Italian dressing and an orange.

I made "feijoada" once, using the recipe from the original "Diet For A Small Planet", by Frances Moore Lappe. The recipe called for whole orange- (which initially made me go "Aarrr????!!!", like Scooby-Doo)- but I followed the recipe anyway, because I love to experiment with really different tastes. I even eat my mistakes because I hate to waste food- I just don't make them again. But this wasn't a mistake- it worked, surprisingly enough.

Ooh I could imagine fresh orange working well there. Doesn't sound like crazy talk to me.

Same here about wasting food - within reason. I've had times where something doesn't work and I keep reworking it into other things. Diluting the problem sometimes just makes the problem bigger!

Penne with tomato sauce and cleavers(aka catchweed or sticky willy in the UK) that I foraged today. While I enjoyed cooking with something new, the stems were a little tough to go down super comfortably. I don't think I'll eat them again.

Ww Italian tagliatelle in a creamy leek sauce plus a sprinkle of yeast flakes/smoked Cornish seal salt and grated Violife
Prosociano.

A white cabbage slaw with Dijon vinaigrette and yeast flakes.

Alpro plain soya yogurt with a few drops of vanilla, ground hazelnuts plus sweetener.

My experience exactly. It's fun to forage and try new things, but there's a litany of reasons why sticky willy isn't a mainstream culinary item!

I've never heard of that before.

we had more of the bean/veggie soup - I added the rest of the beans to the leftover soup and now have just a bit of the soup left - put in some croutons and sprinkled nooch on top

I'm having tofu quiche again, with an orange. Chocolate mousse for dessert.

You may have seen them before. They're considered weeds because they'll sometimes grow in large, tangled masses on lawns when left unchecked.

Sauerkraut with steamed potatoes and seitan plus a drizzle of evo served with Dijon mustard.

A hazelnut and vanilla mug cake with Alpro plain soya yogurt.

They're best left where they are, for schoolkids to secretly stick to the backs of each others' jumpers ÷D

Give them a swerve @Raven, nettle and wild garlic season are just beginning in the UK, and they *are* worth harvesting.

Red rice, chickpeas, carrot salad, tahini dressing and a Vivera steak. All sprinkled with dill to make it look posh.
