:j woohoo Mr MWC has sold some shares in his previous previous employer - they were close to a 52-week high and the weak pound has worked in our favour as it is an American company :j
He will use the funds to top up his S&S, take a punt by buying his share options in his previous employer and then the rest will go to the kitchen fund
We ate our first autumnal dinner tonight - red wine risotto with bacon, radicchio & porcini mushrooms :drool:
This week, we've eaten radicchio, rocket, winter salad leaves and a few apples & pears from the garden :T
I'm going to a cookery school tomorrow for a masterclass in middle eastern cooking :cool:

Such a beautiful bouquet xxa penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0

Yummity yum to all that - but no. 2 on the list has definitely caught my attention And is the chicken slathered in harissa and then roasted, or is the harissa put under the skin? (and then the chicken roasted). I love learning how to impart flavours into food - even if I only get to do it with tofu!
And may I please ask what the veggie alternative is, even if you didn't cook it Ta
