All that sightseeing made us hungry, so we were taken to a restaurant where we had a delicious briyani, amongst other things. I tried to eat it with my fingers as the locals do, but my Western fastidiousness took over and I resorted to cutlery...

More curry!

Experimented for supper and did lemon roasted chicken pieces with rosemary butternut chips....

Success!

The zingy moist chicken was the perfect foil for creamy buttery squash chips tossed in rosemary and olive oil. Will definitely try this again!

Lunch!

This was utterly delicious - although it did tend to make its presence felt again during the afternoon... and again...

Chicken breast in pink peppercorn sauce on spring onion mash, served with root vegetables and buttered green beans- fabulous!

The Burrell Collection comprises a really eclectic mix of pieces but this was one of my favourites!

For the Macro Mondays group theme 'A little Italian'...

This was a garlic chicken pizza I took out of the freezer over the weekend. It struck me that it would be an ideal subject for this week's MM theme, especially as it was in the colours of the Italian flag!

Okay - so the Italian flag doesn't have yellow peppers in it...

...Polenta-crusted chicken with rustic fries and oven-baked tomatoes on the vine... (Or chicken and chips, depending on which side of the tracks you were brought up on!) :-P

This was a bit of an experiment in low-fat cooking, and the polenta coating worked really well. It's just the sort of quick and easy nosh I like to cook after a very long hard week at the coalface...

Every last scrap...

I'm on an economy drive, trying to use up every bit of the chicken that I bought, having had roast chicken, chicken sandwiches, cold chicken and chicken curry. Left with a nekkid skeleton, it seemed a good idea to make some chicken stock from the remains.

Instead of leaving sundry vegetables in the fridge to fester into next week's Project 365 shots, I dug out all the wilting celery stalks, dried-up halves of onion and wrinkly mushroom stalks and threw them into the stockpot to keep the chicken carcass company, along with half a lemon and some herbs and put the lot to simmer on the stove....

...and promptly forgot all about it.

I think it's what's called reducing the stock... but not to a glutinous mess stuck to the bottom of a pan.

Actually, they're not.

These aren't just ANY eggs - these are the Rolls Royce of eggs - old-fashioned shiny brown organic beauties, with a little crest stamped on each one. It's amazing what they can train chickens to do these days...

I didn't buy them simply because the colour is a perfect foil for my gorgeous new crackle-glazed plate. Honest...
