Chicken pie, lockdown day 1

It's hard to imagine that there is so much unknown and uncertainty in the world right now when I can walk the dog, albeit once a day, to some so peaceful as this:

It was so peaceful out that we walked 2 5 miles played hunt the dummy with the dog for ages in the woods and then headed home watching the tractors working in the fields as we walked. A normal walk, in what appears to be a normal day, but isn't.
Very surreal and disturbing to think of the situation the world is in.
What are you doing to keep yourself well in this time?


In other news, rubber chicken is going strong. Tonight's tea was chicken pie

Yes I did slightly burn the crusts but it still tasted good, and there are 2 generous slices in the freezer for another day. So that is 8 meals so far, and still more in the fridge from that one little reduced chicken. 

Kids can cook challenge

I was planning on cooking another random recipe this weekend, but there was a change in plan.
This weekend has been a real treat.
Dylan has cooked dinner everyday.
Saturday was pork curry, very yummy but I forgot to get a picture.

Today he did roast dinner. It tasted so good I may have to encourage him to cook a roast each week!

Then with the left overs from our roast chicken Dylan made a pie for tomorrow's dinner. He made the pastry from the book you can see lurking in the background. It is a book I received as a Christmas present the year I had Dylan, over 12 years ago. I love the book, it is full of normal everyday recipes. I have many recipe books, but few of them are what I call basic how to do anything ones. This old faithful * gets puled out all the time as it really does have everything in it.

So go on, I challenge you. What can your children cook this week?

* if you click the link you will see there is no image available for the book. I have checked the ISBN on back of my copy with that given on the page to ensure it is the same book.
