Finger lickin chicken

January 7, 2009

 

Mmmm, cooking and me had fallen out, only saving it  for special occasions or when I invited guests.  So this year I set my intention to make more of an effort and cook something nice, good looking!! and  tasty for myself each day.  Tonights dinner was oh so tasty and oh so easy as I cooked it last night while cooking a stir fry and making butternut squash soup.chicken-for-dinner

Free range, corn fed chicken thighs

Chopped onions

cherry tomatoes

Red Pepper

Celery

chicken stock

Fresh Thyme

Fresh Parsley

Olive oil, salt and pepper to toast

First pour a glass of wine, and put on some music like


 Chop up onions, celery and Red Pepper and sweat  in the olive oil and put aside, in the leftover oil, add a small knob of butter and brown off the chicken pieces.  Add back the onions, celery and red pepper back to the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes whole, add chicken stock, chopped thyme and chopped parsley and salt and pepper to taste.  Put on a lid and put in a medium hot oven for a 2 – 3 hours, leave for 24 hours and reheat, yummy.  Served with green bean, spinach and couscous with sauteed mushrooms and chopped fresh parsley.

A cold and windy Saturday morning, a stuffy head to clear, nothing better than a walk in the park, Dunorlan Park to be exact, and feed the ducks and geese with my friend Seanpaul.  He can be seen feeding a greylag goose with the remains of mouldy Cranks wholemeal loaf!!  Wonderful bread !seanpaul-dunorlan-park

food aviation

November 20, 2008

me, I eat with my eyes, what do you eat with?  not only does it have to taste good but it has to be a visual pleasure and delectable  Thats the trouble with designers, sometimes the need for perfection can go just a little too far.  

just yesterday ventured down to Farnborough in Hampshire, not the usual place for gourmet delights, but a little research required for a project I am working on, emergency lighting would you believe!!  The newly opened Aviator Hotel the venue, so thought I would sample the restaurant while I was there. 

Food was excellent and I thoroughly recommend it, not only did it get the taste buds rocking it looked a treat in more ways than one.
