As a way to cheer my friend up after being dumped over Blackberry Messenger (yes really) I promised my friend M that I would cook for him. From Scratch.
I am single woman - a social butterfly. I do not cook from scratch - what is the point? Woolworths' (Marks & Spencer) livelihood depends on us single people to support them.
They do a lovely array of steam dishes that take a whole 2 minutes to heat. Chicken, veggies... you name it. They have pre-packed soup and vegetable mixes, all you need is a pot and voila!
But being dumped calls for some good ol' fashioned cooking.
Now I can cook a mean
roast chicken if I do say so myself, so I decided to try something a bit different.
Our local supermarket stocks a Roasting bag complete with spices, so I decided to give it a try.
Lemon & Italian Herbs. Chicken goes into bag, bag securely tied.
Shake bag to evenly coat chicken .... not such a good idea
The bag tore, chicken bounced onto the counter coating my Blackberry in spices.
Plan B: Cook in tin foil.
Worked out well in the end - M was impressed & after dinner we looked through old school albums and reminisced about the past.
Got to bed at 4am - who knew I still had it in me!?
