Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
A fell wind blows across the land.
"EVIL SHOPPING OF DOOM : Again waiting for a bus. Again not enough sleep. Oh well. Woke up at 6:30 — very wide awake, no chance of falling back to sleep. Grr. Changed the profiles last night, fiddled more this morning. Sunin can now put “bottom” on his. Like anyone doesn’t already know... Have put on weight again. Grr. Going to have to watch what I eat a bit better I think. Yesterday was mostly uneventful. Popped into Somerfields to check the “reduced” aisle only to find £7 worth of chicken breast for £1.70. So I got red pepper and corguette and headed home for lovely yummy foodness. The shopping was eevil In my fridge I had shallots and asparagus. In my cupboard I had pasta, worcester sauce, rock salt, pepper corns and oregano. On the side I had the remains of some months old white wine. Put pasta on to boil. finely chopped the corguettes and then added them to a pan of smoking hot extra virgin olive oil to flash fry them. Let them get a bit charred for flavour. Finely chopped the shallots and added them in. Finely chopped the asparagus and red pepper and added them in too. Seasoned with oregano, salt, pepper and worcester sauce. Took off heat and took pasta off too. Diced the chicken breast and again, smoking hot oil, flash fried until the outside is just about cooked. Did this in a big pan as I then added everything else in. Added in everything else plus the white wine (probably about a glass full). Left it simmering too long. Grr. Meant to check it until the chicken chunks are just cooked through so they’re light and fluffy, but mine were a little chewy. Ah well, TJ seemed impressed. Gonna add in Journal stalking at lunch I think. Have a better idea about the back end so want to test it
