hello!

feeling very chuffed and needed to share where people will understand !!! ... bought a medium chicken at the weekend .. everything went mad and i didn't get round to cooking it till tuesday ...

tuesday - roast chicken and veggies etc (fed 2 children and 2 adults) (took the rest of the meat off and put in tub in fridge) & made chicken stock from carcas.
wednesday - chicken fahitas (or however you spell it!) (2 children and 2 adults)
thursday - turned stock and scraps of chicken from bones into chicken and veg soup for lunch (2 children and 1 adult) - cooked left over chicken and some bacon to make a filling for a pie. (in freezer - will do 2 children and 2 adults with some left over)
friday - finished the soup off (2 children and 1 adult)

plus a couple of lunchtime sandwiches/wraps for assorted packed lunches!

definately a rubber chicken!

fake chinese crispy duck
hi, i got one of the big turkey legs from tesco yesterday , roasted it for a couple of hours (took skin off halfway through and ate it, yum) when cooked i cut/shreded in to little peices and popped in fridge, warmed it up again at dinnertime and had it with tortilla's which i made into little pancake size circles, spring onion and cucumber matchsticks with hoi sin sauce, absolutely scrummy
said to dh, do you like my crispy duck then??? lovely he said, at just over £1 i do too he couldnt even tell it was turkey til i told him

That sounds like such a simple but great idea! :D
Never thought of doing that. my hubby sometimes say's Duck is too fatty for him. Thanks for that one ;)

Hi all popped in to pick your brains, found a packet of quinoa inthe cupboard and remember cooking it acording to the instructions on the back (it was gross) don't want to throw it out, not very OS doing that, so was hoping someone had a recipie to flavour(hide) the stuff in. Thank you all in advance

Lollyfin - I quite like quinoa, but can go soggy if you cook it as long as they say, sometimes I simmer it for 10 mins then leave in a covered pan, so the residual heat finishes off the cooking.

It is great with strong flavours, like stir-fry with loads of soy sauce/terriyaki/hoi san something like that? Or use instead of lentils in a bolognese or something, in the hope that you wont notice them!
