With my good lady wife travelling every week for work at the moment I am free to indulge in all of those meals which would earn me a severe frowning upon were I to suggest cooking them during other, more wifely interludes. So far we’ve had two giant pots of chilli beef and beans, lamb curry, and fettuccine carbonara done properly, which is to say the Roman way, which is also to say the
Every couple of years the girls head off to a conference. Cue making a big pot of two bean Chile for one. Dinner, next day ~ breakfast (on toast), lunch and dinner again. With liberal lashings of Kaitaia Fire (it's a sauce, Google it). Kinda like Valhalla but with a lip smacking cool farting aftertaste.
A simple recipe is Rice with Kerry. What you need is about 100grams of rice p.p. which you boil, a pound of ground beef, pork or mix and two big onions (to be chopped). Stirfry the meat and the chopped onions and serve with a warmed up curry sauce.
Goat curry is my one (as people refuse to acknowledge how good it is in curry). Dal makhani also makes the list because people in my house turn their nose up at lentils.
I am 100% on board the no mushroom train, but no bacon? Does this not contravene the "bacon belongs in everything" rule? With all due respect to the Romans etc.
Also: Nat's (what I reckon) Bolognese recipe works well and does for about three meals at our place, with a variety of pastas (penne my preference). Fridges well, and like many such sauces seems to improve slightly with a bit of fridging.
Now I'm making myself hungry too. Guess it's pasta for dinner tonight!
My own forbidden creations include grilled cheese, with Texas toast smoked Gouda and cheddar and brisket if it’s available . Chili dogs . But very specific hot dogs grilled , grilled butter buns and Cherry Garcia ice cream for desert.
So I use Tommy dogs which are the dogs they serve at Nebraska football home games . And the outfit that processes our beef makes up about 4 to 5 packages of dogs for us every year . I know where that beef comes from at least. Mixes in a little pork. But I’ve used Nathan’s . They’re good too

That’s nothing. You should try teaching a 5 year old about double dipping.
Currently on a cruise ship and I have eaten everything discussed in this thread in the last 10 days.
Will have 3 types of pasta today before dinner.

"carbonara done properly, which is to say the Roman way" well you can't leave it at that what is the roman way?
Four ingredients. The pasta. The eggs. Guanciale. Parmesan. AND NOTHING ELSE. NO FUCKING CREAM NO MUSHROOMS NO NASTY FUCKING BACON NOTHING.

Except maybe Ice cream . Can’t go down that dark path. But yeah not much else
Isn't Guanciale a starwars villian?
The Italian Kevin Bacon
Sometimes, the old ways are the best.
Also check out Aglio e Olio (pasta, olive oil, garlic, parsley, cheese and chilli. That's it).
But that's six ingredients and apparently the limit is four, see above.
The limit is only four for carbonara. Aglio e Olio has its own rules. The internet suggests that both parsley and cheese are optional.
Also check out Cacio e Pepe, which also only has four ingredients, two of which are cheese. (One of the cheeses, Parmesan, is optional.)
Spaghetti Vongole has six (spaghetti, vongole, olive oil, garlic, chili, parsley) but makes up for it by being the best :-)
Well that's the next few meals sorted

Oh my. Calm down Gordon Ramsey.
I REFUSE TO CALM DOWN THIS IS IMPORTANT VERY VERY IMPORTANT

Sounds fucking awesome.
Which hot dogs? I swear by Nathan's, or failing that, Hebrew Nationals.
