As usual, I was rather lacking in motivation today. I was also rather lacking in ingredients. I had some chicken strips to make up into a stir fry, but no vegetables (yes it's shopping day tomorrow). I had visions of the four of us eating chicken on toast, or something equally distasteful. It wasn't looking promising. Until......my saviour came home from work.
We already know he's a great cook. He can cook almost anything from nothing, and it works every time. Well tonight, he outdid himself. He glanced calmly in the cupboard and the freezer as he chatted casually about his day. He wasn't stressed; he wasn't panicking; he wasn't me. He pulled a packet of fillo pastry out of the freezer and a Maggi sauce mix out of the cupboard. He continued to chat casually as he tossed the chicken into a pan and began stirring.
Thirty minutes later, there it was. The most delectable looking, smelling and tasting dish made from almost nothing, that I have ever tasted. Served in cute individual ramekins, the kids looked on it as a bit of a treat too. All eaten.
I knew I married him for a reason.
