Supper took a backseat yesterday. Here's why.
I had almost resigned myself to not participating in 's
contest but, for some reason, a few things were running through my head and just needed to get out. They (well partly) woke me up at 4am. I started, unusually for me, writing in a Google doc on my phone...
Although I did have other chores, I spent most of the day on this.
As writing does, it took longer than I planned, and then needed prettying up. It'll still get edited, I am sure. What writer's ever entirely satisfied? Besides, I am bound to have made the odd typo. I am so bad at proofing my own work.
Posted (forgetting all the other bits for social media...), it was time for supper. As usual, I had the headline: chicken leftovers/curry and an idea in my head. There is a recipe ... somewhere ... with coconut milk...
I found the recipe in my now, fat, overflowing file that was supposed to have been thinned down and organised in last year's hard lockdown. Along with other things on that list, it wasn't.
The result? A fragrant coconut chicken curry. More like a korma.
It was an experiment because I used cooked chicken left over from a roast. And what was left of the gravy. I admit to being a little anxious as so whether it would work. It did. I shall make it again and with a couple of minor adjustments. One is losing the gravy. I will freeze that for another day and a different dish.
So I have another addition to the lefovers-that-are-not, repertoire.
Until next time, be well

- If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
