[Sundae]

Monday night I made teriyaki chicken.
The sauce came from a Wagamama jar and it smelled... Nothingy.
So instead of oven baking the chicken as was my original intention, I cut the breasts into cubes and stir-fried with onion, red pepper, a pinch of Moroccan spice and a little swish of Mum's white wine to keep it all moist.

Served with a prepacked mix of wild rice and quinoa with a hint of garlic.

I still thought it quite a bland meal, but Mum was in raptures.
She mentioned it the next day and yesterday. Pats on back all round.

Last night I made breaded turkey escalopes - home made breadcrumbs with a little Italian spice mix, coated in an egg wash and baked.
Served with pan-fried potatoes with a couple of crumbs of bacon, and baked beans. Good hearty fare. Working my way through the food cupboard and the freezer tbh.

The escalopes were a little dry for my taste, but I have to be super careful when cooking for Mum, whose tastes run to Saharan rather than risking the slightest possibility of being undercooked. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't eat undercooked turkey, but I'd put it on my plate far quicker and if it was undercooked I'd just smack it back in the oven.

Thanks from the 'rents. Very tasty. Just not as special as the other night, because that was really, REALLY good.
