I made a different sort of take on braised chicken with creamy potatoes and mushrooms, using rice instead of potatoes, and we're having the leftovers since it made a lot and there are only two of us. Briefly, I cut a chicken into serving pieces, browned them in butter in a cast-iron casserole, took them out to saute onions, mushrooms, and garlic, added well-seasoned chicken broth, sour cream, white wine, a sprinkle of grated hard cheese, and herbs, then stirred in some basmati rice and topped it with the chicken and its juices, then baked it for an hour. Green veg or just a salad would go well with it. It turned out so good my chef-in-training husband made me go type up the recipe.

Some sort of take away and not until late in the evening, haven't even got up to go for breakfast yet. Hungover as a dog.

Usually have a roast but oh offered to take me to my favourite place for dinner today.

Went there and it was booked out. Going back at 6, I'm starving now though.

I'm having a friend over. Will probably have liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Heading out later on, depends what's on the menu, but usually I just go for the bacon and cabbage, or roast chicken, and if that's not available, then beef. I'm not a big fan of fish dishes.

Yoghurt.

Tomato Soup, comfy as feck.

How do you re-heat pasta without it being all sticky?

I've tried adding water a couple of times and re-heating it, but it just makes the pasta all soft and gloopy

Boiling bacon and cabbage. Lock o' tatties. Mmmm

I do it in a big cast iron casserole dish in the oven, I make extra sauce and heat it on the hob so when the dish is reheated I pour over more sauce and grate parmesan over the top.. the pasta was cooked in the sauce yesterday so it doesn't tend to go sticky like it would cooked in water.. or maybe, I'm just a culinary genius ...

If it's plain pasta, heat a pot of water to a rolling boil and plunge one serving of pasta into it (easiest to use a wire strainer) for just long enough to heat it up, just a few seconds really. Repeat for each additional serving. This is how we did it when I worked in a restaurant. It helps if the pasta is not overcooked to begin with, of course.

Edit: We cooked and portioned all of our pasta in the morning and promptly cooled it in a special refrigerated unit (NOT the big walk-in, where it would pick up off-flavors). It may sound awful to cook pasta in advance, but you really have to if you're using dried pasta instead of fresh (which most small restaurants must do), and it honestly does not affect the quality or taste. Customers will not wait for you to cook dried pasta for each order (even if you had the hob space). And holding cooked pasta warm in a steam tray... rank.

Fishy coconuty curry, saffron rice, cheesecake.
