My step son arrives this evening for an overnight stay before embarking , with his father , on a biking trip to Scotland in the morning. My daughter and future son-in-law join us for tea so tonight I have 4 guinea pigs to try out my two recipes.
The first is Chicken with apricots and coconut milk. To save time I made the spice paste yesterday and as Mr Slater said it has kept well in the fridge ( covered with a little oil) and is now ready to use. Glad I did this as everyone stood in the kitchen chatting as I cooked which always distracts me from the task in hand! Plus it meant some of the washing up was out of the way.
I served the chicken with naan bread and rice. Plates cleared, not a morsel remained apart from some naan. Speaks volumes I guess or maybe they were all ravenous !!!!!!!
Desert was A sweet cherry salad Mr Slater promising the rare pleasure of eating stoned cherries is worth the laborious task of stoning them! I enjoyed it but everyone else opted for the Gooseberry crumble cake which I had made on Wednesday. Served with cream it was a hit, so much so that my future son- in - law ( a bit of a faddy eater) took the rest home to finish off!!!!
