Dinner

[Anonymous No.4170215]

So, I blew all my money over new years and christmas - pay day is on Wednesday

Give me some ideas for what to make for my dinner (no seafood or things from a packet/tin) when I finally have cash again!

Pic related, been pretty much living off them for the past fortnight

They don't pay people monthly where you live?

[lobab No.4170343]

how much money will you have to work with and what sort of kitchen equipment do you have, oven, stove top, bbq etc? What styles of food do you like and are you happy to eat most other meat other than seafood and a wide range of veggies?

[Anonymous No.4170365]

standard kitchen really, oven , stove, grill - have a BBQ but it's far too cold to use that!

Normally make: Curries/chilli's/pizza's/fajita's/falafel/stir fries

I was gonna do myself a steak some fries and some salad with a sauce, but just thought that was a bit boring and thought I'd see if anyone suggests anything interesting!

[Anonymous No.4170367]

oh, and apart from seafood I'll eat pretty much anything...except maybe beetroot that stuffs gross

Most people here get paid biweekly, weekly for blue collars

The stuffed peppers and the paprika chicken sound interesting

Probably won't make it this week but if you're not busy the burger recipe wouldn't go amiss either been meaning to try and make them for a while

>>4170386

Still, you'd have thought he'd least be aware that some people get paid monthly! (for the record I have a blue collar job, I've no idea why I get paid monthly tbh)

American here, I've had probably 20 or 30 odd jobs in my life plus a handful of "real jobs" and I've never even heard of a place that pays monthly. Where do you live and what kind of job is that?

[Anonymous No.4170446]

The UK, I lug stuff around a warehouse basically

It's only really low wage stuff that gets paid weekly/bi weekly here (I'd expect to get paid weekly with my job but for whatever reason don't)

50g breadcrumbs
500g beef mince

1 tsp brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tsp Garlic powder
1/2tsp bicarb soda
small pinch of ground cummin

Method:
Caramelise the onion and cook the bacon. then let them cool. once cooled mix all ingredients thoroughly together. make patties of your desired size and cook to your taste i like these medium rare.

I serve them on burger buns with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese (that i melt on the patties as i cook them), aioli, red onions and pickle.

add the bacon and keep frying until starting to brown.

Add the mincemeat until starting to look cooked then add the cumin, chilli, oregano, paprikia salt and pepper and diced tomato. dook trhough until the tomato gets soft and the meat looks cooked but not too brown.

take the meat mixture off the heat and let cool, when completley cool mix the parmesan through.

Cut the tops of the peppers and scoop all the seeds out. be sure to save the tops! Stuff the peppers with the mince and place upright in a casserole dish with the tops that you saved on top.
