The Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie was extremely tasty so thought I should post this here. It’s not really a recipe.
Make a batch of SOS sauce.
Add as much cooked chicken as it will take. ( salmon or prawns )
Cook button mushrooms in EVOO, add to sauce and chicken.
Add a large handful of chopped parsley.
Add cream to thin out a little and dilute the taste of the SOS sauce.
Serve topped with pastry, potato or bread crumbs. Or as I did, over garlic bread.

Cookie, Strawberry and Rhubarb sounds interesting. Will give it a try.
Would love some Rye bread, especially if it had Caraway seeds in it. Might make a seed loaf with dried potato flakes in it. I fancy a curried egg sandwich for lunch.

Cookie, Rain is wonderful when you don’t get much.
The men finished my Garden Room and it’s lovely. It has 4 see through mesh type blinds that are remote controlled. The blinds provide privacy and wind protection but can be seen through from the inside. There is also a sun blind over the top for hot days.
More jam today. It is citrus season. Will also make some Lemon Butter for GD who is coming at Weekend. All in TMX.

Rum and Raisin Banana cakes. Mandarin marmalade. I’ve been making all sorts of odd mixtures of jam and Quince paste. At Probus they give them out for Birthdays and as prizes. People donate small jars and excess fruit and I add something . I recently made mixed berry and rhubarb jam, and added Muscat to the Quince Paste. At meetings they openly discuss what they have tasted and are delighted with the unusual mixtures. I’m surprised.

Katie, have just finished ‘ A Spanner in the Works’ by Alice Anderson. Highly recommended. Now reading ‘Educated’ by Tara Westover. Have read 1/3, not liking it at all.
Men coming to finish Garden Room. Cleaner also coming.

Cookie, lovely way to spend a day.
Today, Tai Chi, book club and lunch and GS and friends for Dinner. White frost last night. Beautiful sunny morning. 3 loads of washing before Tai Chi. Crazy!

This Bread and butter pud was lovely. I’ll be buying an extra Panatone next Xmas to make this again. The recipe prepositions weren’t correct. Easily remedied. Also very easy. I used a tin of cherries.
Making chocolate cakes for pud tonight.

Found a large piece of Panatone leftover from Xmas. Made a bread and butter pudding with it from a recipe that had grapes added. Also coffee liqueur.

Soup, veggie and chicken. It has a funny texture. As the TMX was busy making Quince Paste, I cooked the veggies in a saucepan and used the Bamix to mix it. Make one really appreciate the TMX.
