Have a karma on me for that suggestion !

Not til I find out who minused me!

Oy! I'm back to zero!

I was enjoying my rebel phase!

and here i was thinkin there would be four meals to delight upon...

whelp... let me share our supper...

A very delectable..

chicken stew..

lets see..

five carrots.. half of the celery stalk
an onion or two... all chopped in big chunks and sauteed in butta and salt n peppa....yummayumyum...

then.. while that was goin... the chicken was cookin... and... i was peelin and choppin potatoes into bite size bits... probably bout 4 or 5 potatoes...(optional)

after the sauteed ingredients caramalized and.. got good n yummy... take a few bites to savor.. blow on it first...

then go ahead and drop in the cooked chicken... and the chopped up potatoes...

into the 12 qt pot? add hot water... chicken stock if ya like... and... a cup or two of rice...(watch for pebbles) or... add a cup or two of pasta.. make sure to cover the pot after its brought to a boil.... and lower the temp to simmer.... and let it cook for a good half hour...

taste test.. may need some salt.n peppa..
maybe a lil parsley... or thyme.... or both... have fun with it...

you can also thicken with a bit of corn starch... and cold water... (bring to boil and stir)

any recipes to share???

Picadillo con arroz blanco(groundbeef and white rice)
cook ground beef in a sautee pan with onions, green pepper, garlic, salt and pepper, complete seasoning.
When it browns I add diced tomatoes and 1 can of tomatoe sauce I also add diced cooked (fried) potatoes.

Serve it with white rice...no time for black beans so I making a salad...

I Love you chicken stew Jaimekins will try it when the kids have a cold...Maybe tomorrow I'll do Chicken fricasee...?

Chili:

- in a pot fry up chopped onions in olive oik

- Brown some ground mince in the same pot (make sure it's broken up - no clumps)

- reduce heat to a simmer

- steam a chirizo sausage or two
(8min if - fresh - 12 min if frozen)
then cut into bite size pieces

- take a good steak and chop it into cubes
and fry it quickly to rare and set aside

- add some beef stock, and chopped garlic to the mince

- add the sausage

- add diced tomatoes and a little tomato paste

- add water - a soupy mix is what you're aiming for

- add beans - lots of different kinds

- add smoked chipotles (no other spices are required as these dominate the flavour

- add chopped red and green sweet peppers

- add a large squirt of lime juice

- add some brown sugar (careful - not a lot)

- add the cubed steak

- simmer for half an hour or so 'til it's the consistency of a stew

- eat (then spend the next six hours alone)

ooooooh, yummy!

Oh don't..............

We have been having a few problems with primary schools in Fife as of late, when the weather gets milder they start and make for the outside but as soon as the weather gets cold again, back they come!

We closed a place just before Christmas because of a severe infestation of mice, the guy could have dealt with them like the pic and we woild never have known!
