#439 – Smoked Chicken Salad Lunch

#439 - Smoked Chicken Salad
While I was constructing this salad in it’s bowl I was gently reminded of performing similar activities years before. When I was young(er) and my parents would have guests over for a braai I was often entrusted to make the green salad that would accompany our meal. This was a job that I took most seriously. I remember spending ages chopping and slicing the ingredients laid out by my mom. Finally (and most importantly) I deliberated over how to arrange said ingredients into intricate patterns, trying not to repeat arrangements previously used. I guess some things haven’t changed.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Salad with mixed leaves, smoked chicken, baby tomatoes, feta and spring onion.

#438 – Plum Chicken Lunch

#438 - Plum Chicken

Wow, I can’t believe it has been nearly five months since my last blog post. How absolutely shocking! They say time flies when you’re having fun, but I can’t say that these past few months have been that exciting. Maybe it’s just a sign that I’m getting a bit older? My return has been somewhat inspired by an invitation to a bloggers get together being organised by the lovely Betty Bake and Being Brazen. The invitation got me thinking, if I want to be thought of as a blogger then I should blog right? So, I’d like to renew my blogging license and here is a blog post to prove it.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Chicken cooked in a sticky plum sauce,
  • stir-fried carrot, courgette, mange tout, spring onion and fresh corn kernels and
  • egg noodles.
