Saturday night tea

We were both hungry for tea this evening but could not really  make up our minds as to exactly what we wanted.  I had suggested several things but OH could not really fancy them so in the end I took unilateral action.  I went and bought a chicken, roasted it and served it with proper baked potatoes, served with butter and with the option of adding dips or coleslaw to the potato both of which are favourites of mine.  I had mooted whether or not it should be sweet potato but thought that I might have that for dinner one day during the week.  Fortunately this week I do not have so many dinner dates so that is a real possibility for me.  I love baked sweet potato or sweet potato anything at the best of times.  I also like my food simply served as often that is the way that you get the best flavour out of your food.  The chicken I only ever use butter on in any event and maybe a little touch of herb, some lemon and an onion to keep it nice and moist.  I did not have a pudding but we have had a very large home made Strawberry milk shake each.  All of that has gone down very nicely.  

The other reason for cooking something this evening was also because I am out to lunch with my old team tomorrow first time have met up since left so will not be cooking my usual Sunday joint.  Therefore have to have something in situ for OH tomorrow and so I thought a chicken salad might go down well with him using some of the salad leaves out of the garden and other salad bits which are in the fridge.  Easily compiled and at least he is going to eat whilst I am out socialising……

Sorry its short and sweet have things to do as usual.

Catch you all shortly.
