WEDNESDAY
22nd/OCTOBER 2014.
No lie in
this morning as its ‘Pie’ day here in sunny Manilva, yes the sun is out again
and it’s already warm and getting hotter later - 29/30degs still!
After
breakfast I got tonight’s supper on the go “Chicken &Mushroom Tarragon Pie”
I make the filling and then this evening cover it with the pastry and bake it
in the oven; I use Chicken Breast, diced, floured and browned off, then I
sweat-off the diced Onions, Carrots, Turnips, Leek Celery, Mushrooms with a
touch of Garlic and the secret ingreadinents, a good slug of Brenda’s White
Wine and lots of Tarragon, add the Chicken, a good strong Chicken &
Vegetable stock, season to taste and adjust the consistency and leave it to
cook-off! The aromas are wafting up the street!! See below the before picture - after to follow !
‘Chispa’
came calling early this morning and is playing around the house and running up
and down the street like a mad dog! ‘Riena’ is due tomorrow morning but ‘Scruffy’
has cancelled as Rose has changed shifts, he’s back next week on Wednesday
& Thursday.
The ‘Queen’
of Skelton has shown some concern for our heart/cholesterols levels after last
night ‘Brunch’ We can assure her that we are tested/ checked regularly by our
Doctor and the latest results are OK! Thanks for the concern and warning!! Hope
you survived the ‘Hurricane Gonzalo’ intact ‘up north’ in Skelton?!
So this
evening it’s the ‘Match of the Day’ over at Anfield as Liverpool welcome Real
Madrid in a qualifying round of the ‘UEFA Champions League’ – I will watch it
up in the office on the large PC. Last night there was a feast of goals (40!)
as Chelsea won 6-0,Bayern Munich won 1-7 in Rome ,Shakt Donsk won 7-0 and Barcelona won 3-1 Sadly Manchester City gave
away a two goal lead and could only draw 2-2!
The rest of
the day we are taking things easy, catching up with our reading and looking
forward to our supper this evening.
Thoughts
for the Day’ See above.
