Weird bug

I feel as if I have the stomach flu. But am not...umm...releasing stomach (or other) contents. My body just aches. Am so tired. My eyes are burning and my throat is sore. Probably remnants of the boat load of stresses and the foul mood from the other day.

The exbf took pity on me and bought me some sweet and sour soup from the Chinese restaurant near my parents' place. It's very good...but not as spicy as I remember.

He's eating the left over chicken supper, btw...

Sunday roasted chicken supper

Decided to practise my chicken jointing skills today. It's been a while since I used them. Besides, the chicken cooks faster when its in pieces, as opposed to whole

Nothing too out there--salt, pepper and thyme. Placed the chicken over sliced fennel. Love fennel braised in chickenny goodness. The potatoes didn't fair very well...tossed them because they were really meally. Made some rice instead. Also some peas.

Dessert was the last offering of the latest cookbook to be reviewed. V good, but sweet....

Too tired to cook

Not exactly sure why, but I woke up at about 2am and didn't get back to sleep until 5:30...or 6:30am. Needless to say not enough sleep was had. I really shouldn't have been driving, but I did. Decided at the end of the day I shouldn't be cooking.

Dinner was Chinese takeaway...sweet & sour pork, those really thick noodles, broccoli beef and spring rolls.
