Tomato soup.

With enough cheese to make the spoon stand up on its own.

Italian food tonight.

Last night: Old world goulash with spatzle. Man that was effing good!

Tonight: Tatertot casserole...only because we will be getting home late and it is easy to make.

I like to add pasta to my tomato soup too **drools**

Last night we were out with the intention of getting some errands done, the snow started so we thought we'll stop in for a bite to eat and had a Margarita and split an order of steak fajitas and some peanut butter pie. When we went outside again the lake effect snow was in full swing so we just went home again. Great first day of spring

Lake effect snow?! What God forsaken part of the US do you live in? (I'm asking this as someone that gets hit with lake effect snow in Northeast Ohio)

I suppose abusing your body in every possible way in a single day has a certain appeal

Tacos from Jack in the Box.

My guess is that you're either a very young Full back.. or you're about my age, and are a front rower (also, like me)


And yes, KM, Rugby is one of the absolute best ways to abuse your body, and get some great PT in at the same time.

OT, my favorite soup happens to be Clam Chowder.. I grew up on the Pacific coast, so for me, the fresher the better... I can't wait to be moving up to washington in a while, so that I can finally try to make it myself

Ohh, and if you take a Sourdough cannonball, and make a large "bowl" out of it, that is one heavenly meal right there... really sticks to the ribs, as it were.

Just watched a rather amusing video of Jimmy Carr talking about his favourite kind of soup. Does Dakka have a favourite kind of soup?

Mine would have to be pea & ham soup with a nice crusty dinner roll.

A well made posole is without a doubt the greatest soup ever conceived of by mankind.

Miso is my second favorite.

Ribollita is pretty good too

Tonight I went out with SWMBO to Yo Sushi.
It was nice.

Tomorrow, I'm making a roast lunch.
Chicken, roast veg, stuffing, bread sauce, yorkshire pud, and home made gravy.
It's a bit of work, but well worth the effort.

miso soup is great for ease of preparation. My favourite soup is chinese chicken and sweetcorn (homemade) , my alltime fave soup was a chefs special hangover soup. It had so much green vegetable goodness to my surprise it actually worked .

Mmmm! Well made Miso soup is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Last night was Frankie and Bennie's. The gammon is now for saturday.

Carbonara Calzone. All good.

Tonight? it's friday - Takeaway night!

Chinese, Curry or Pizza?

I am craving Pad Thai, like I would kill for full strength burning your mouth with glory pad thai. I have no idea why.

Last night after getting the snow delayed errands we had a semi Kosher meal (as Kosher as two Gentiles can make in the same kitchen that we have pork ) of matzo soup, washed down with the finest Manischewitz

Because its a Friday in Lent we'll be having something involving fish tonight. Any suggestions for what religion we can offend tomorrow?

Hmmm, if I was given the choice I'd go curry. It's hard to get a good lamb dhansak here.

Mussels in white wine sauce over homemade pasta.

How are you cooking the mussels?

It's game night... Might have some taco bell...

hmm phad thai.. i should make some tonight. i make an awesome phad thai.

GF Steamed them with garlic before making the sauce.

My favorite way to cook mussels to get a pan smoking hot, put in a little oil, when that starts smoking throw in some shallots, garlic and diced tomato. When that starts to brown I pour in about half a cup of white wine, add the mussels, and cover them until they open. Then I stir some mascarpone cheese into the broth in the pan, finish them with some green onions, salt, black pepper and basil, and serve them in that broth alongside some nice toasted bread.

It's pretty much incredible.

Well doesn't this sound tempting... I have all the ingredients bar the mussels laying around in my kitchen and the local fishmongers sells mussels for dead cheap.

I'm not even the biggest seafood fan, but that needs to get in my mouth.

If you guys decide to try it, let me know how it comes out!

Go really easy on the salt, though. The liquid that comes out of the mussels is going to be pretty briny (in a good way!)

I'm about to enjoy Ye Olde fish and chips. Get in.

Monster Rain has never steered me wrong as regards food.

Wife took a notion so we went to McDonalds and I got a double cheeseburger

Chinese food yesterday, leftovers today!
