Making chicken feed of my mortgage

That salad certainly does sound mmm - pity DH can't eat the halloumi.

Great savings and OPs

: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:

Have a fab day today. Sounds like great fun.

Flowers are gorgeous and brilliant news on shares.

Sounds like kitchen fund will be full soon.

Excellent news all round, and I love those flowers - very autumnal, very intense colours, they're great.

Beautiful flower arrangement MWC, I hope your aunt loved them too

Could we have a report back on the cooking class - so that we can attend 'vicariously'

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
