So hungry !!!!!!

April 22 nd Monday
At the beginning of this chapter Mr Slater talks about his salad spinner with great affection which is unusual because he is not a great fan of kitchen gadgets. He says " I know I would hate to be without mine."
Oh dear ! I threw mine away when I moved house - trying to de- clutter. Another addition to my ever growing shopping list!( Until then I best buy ready washed so I don't get soggy leaves!!!!)

I made today's recipe for lunch - Five spice chicken and pea shoot salad.
We were so hungry - having skipped breakfast - and this smelt and looked so delicious I forgot to photograph it before we ate !!!!!!
My husband said,  " I really, really like this " and when I said I had forgotten to photograph it he replied, " Great, do it again and take a photo!"

In the recipe Mr Slater says to grate the ginger to a pulp scraping every bit from the grater into a mixing bowl. Quite hard to do so a good tip here is to use an old pastry brush - works really well !
