Appetising - not!


I haven't cooked anything since Friday as have been feeling too ill. So tonight I thought I would make amends by preparing Chicken Fricassee. I think George may well be wishing I had not cooked for just one more day. Instead of button mushrooms we only had some flat mushrooms which were, to be honest, not as fresh as they might be. Now my Chicken Fricassee is not the most attractive of meals when I make it with button mushrooms - hence the kids refer to it as chicken sick. However, these flat mushroom have dyed the normally creamy coloured sauce and made it a very unattractive grey. It tastes delicious if you are brave enough.
Just drizzled a tray of home grown cherry tomatoes with olive oil and put them in the oven to roast. Either it will make the meal more attractive - or alternatively tomatoes can be eaten in place of the Fricassee.

and clouds with silver linings


Have been unwell since Saturday. Had an abscess on my tooth - mouth and neck horribly swollen and lots of pain. However, the good news is - I lost 5lbs and can get into my Jane Norman Jeans..... but the bad news is the dog has eaten a hole in them.
