moroccan chicken stew

Monday monday eh? To be honest I don't mind Monday's that much; everybody in the office sits around in a post-weekend coma so I usually get left alone to listen to Radio 7, and I even managed to prepare a post about Whites for the coming Wednesday. A quick read in the park at lunchtime and a pleasant cycle home in the winter sunshine later, what's not to like?

By the time I get home Ana is ready to depart for Bobble Hat Blitz, leaving me to spend a delightful hour turning half our sack of beetroots from last week's foraging trip into more soup, and knock up some warming Moroccan chicken stew whilst continuing the Radio 7 marathon.

If you want to know, I listened to The Sit Crom and some Edgar Wallace Short Stories. Brilliantly Sue Limb, who wrote The Sit Crom, coined the phrase Bonkbuster, for which I salute her!

Still searching for that perfect tagine to christen the pot with, btw. Angela Hazel at work as supplied a definite contender but if anybody has any decent recipes, so pass them on.

Food of the Milos
After his usual breakfast of nibbles and porridge, (and safe in the knowledge he's got a pumpkin bag full of sweets in the cupboard), attempts the rest of the day in reverse. He eats his main meal of sausages, mash and peas for lunch at Claire and Isla's, before eating his usual lunch, boiled egg and sausages, at home later for dinner. Babies eh?
