You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Something I often do with left over cooked chicken meat is to shred it and make it into a lentil salad.  Black or green cooked lentils, chopped gherkin, capers, pickled onion, whatever herbs I have in the garden, Greek olive oil and either lemon juice or cider vinegar.   Mix it all up and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours to soften, and it will keep for a few days.

Oh now that gives me some new ideas, and I have those two little jars of pickled nasturtium seeds which would be perfect against the chicken meat and with the cider vinegar. My taste buds are already enjoying the thought! A good lunch idea, thank you!

morning ladies   We survived the howling wind overnight, the Furry One and I will go out and see what we heard being blown about shortly (when His Lordship decides to get out from under the covers).

Your dinner sounded delicious, OHH.  Roast beetroot is a favourite here too.  I make chicken and leek pie with leftover chicken and use the bones and other bits for the stock in the pie.  So yummm.  Leeks have a lovely subtle flavour with the chicken.  We don't have an orange tree so stuff the chook with lemon.

Late yesterday afternoon I cut the fabric for the cushion ready for sewing today. I found a pair of brand-new shoelaces that will work perfectly for the ties and should be easy for MrK to use.  I have a couple of things to do first this morning before I start.

Time to get cracking, the sooner I finish these few things the sooner I'm sitting at the sewing machine

Happy crafting

I usually use a lemon, but this bird was so big and I had a nearly ripe orange on the bench left over from juicing. Every year our orange tree gets stripped overnight as soon as the fruit is ripe, so we are all grabbing what we can before the thieves arrive, and that means sometimes the fruit needs a bit longer to get the sugar level up. Perfect though for chicken! And they make great juice, not too sweet...
