Default Dinner tonight, Mon22Feb

Chicken thigh fillets fried to a nice golden brown in the frypan till about
3/4 done, then removed from heat and a cup of Bubbly added to pan to
deglaze and use as a sauce base. Reduced a bit, then added cream, and a
handful of chopped Italian parsley.

Served with carrot fingers, lightly steamed and then tossed with toasted
sesame seeds and a tablespoon of local organic honey. Also a mash made with
steamed spuds with fresh garlic, cream added to the mash, along with some
chopped rocket and Kale.

Lastly, a couple of small wedges of sugarloaf cabbage, very lightly
steamed.

It got a score of 8.75.

I think she's been watching too much of the 'Limpicks!!

Finely chopped fresh garlic in mash is superb. Even better is a generous
spoon of creamed horseradish.

Try doing a mash with half potato, half celeriac and fresh garlic. Truly
divine :-)

Can't win them all I guess! Same species of plant, different varieties -
depending on whether you eat the root or the stems.
