    The plan is to make chicken fajitas. Got some fajita spice mix from Mr. Bells today.

    Going to go with the velveting technique on the chicken again, just cornflour, because last time it worked really well.

    Thank you for the poster that recommended it, can't recall now.

    What's the velveting technique? I have a weird thing about chicken sometimes. I love a roast chicken dinner but shredded chicken or chicken in enchiladas for example can turn me off for some reason.
    Love fajitas!

    This is more of a method to help chicken breast when stir frying.

    It stops it getting dried out and tough, which can happen to chicken breast meat when exposed to high heat.

    Most likely me as I do it regularly with beef and chicken stir fry/curry and have mentioned it here and on the other dinner thread. I always shout at the TV when I see so called chefs making stir fry and never, ever velvetising the meat. Its so simple and quick.

    Took 5 minutes to cook and was very tasty, Lidl Chipotle chilli steak with pilau rice and prawn crackers.

    Hey Cheezy..I'd saute them in butter with diced onion. Add chicken or vegetable stock, bring to the boil then simmer with the coriander and cream. I'd throw in honey, cumin, salt and pepper too. Mmmm im hungry :)

    Tuborg is way better than Carling. I've drank Carling from London to Cardiff and Tuborg from Odense to Copenhagen. Better than Carlsberg. You're a cheap beer snob.:D

    Spent 4 hours preparing , minding, lovingly watching a slow beef curry/casserole/ stew type thing.


    Load of balls . Pile of shyte so it was. Beef tougher than a leather belt from dunnes stores.

    Sauce more fluid than the liffey after good rain.


    I'm having 4 bags of king crisps now and maybe 5 kit kats.

    Why bother. Lol

    The post beer feed and all made at home. Chicken skewers with french fries on a slab. Chicken was coated in a satay sauce from Asia Market. Fries from Supervalu. The little off camera extra was a chocolate brownie.:D

    Just a simple thing.
    Potatoes with tuna sweetcorn salad.

    Chicken fajita marinating for tomorrow.

    I tend to use dried dill whenever I have potatoes. Also, with rice and tomato & onion salad. I find it's one of those herbs that work OK when dried. I love it.

    After seeing superquinn sausage mentioned above, had a hankering. So superquinn sausages on a fresh crusty loaf with a side of homemade coleslaw for brunch here.
