What NOT to do in the kitchen!

Post by auntiebiotics »

This was supposed to be my first cookery tip. Erm.... things didn't go as well as they should have.
It was a meal for four costing about £1.50 per portion. A portion was for myself and Mr Biotics to eat tonight and the other two portions frozen for another time.
Chicken thighs, browned in the pan first then removed. Veg sweated in the pan finely chopped veg (onions, one carrot ,one potato). Then l decided to be lazy instead of making a base for the chicken to finish cooking on by adding water, chopped tomatoes and stock cubes to the veg prior to placing chicken on top. The whole to be served with bread
l used a jar of cooking sauce that was tomatoe based and made for cooking with chicken.
This l mixed with veg, poured into fairly deep oven dish, placed chicken on top and placed in the oven for 45 minutes


It looked like this. Mmmmmm tasty!!!!


Sadly Mr Biotics thought it tasted like this. So it was a quick rinsing of chicken under the tap, quick mashing of potatoes, quick microwaving of green veg.
Twice the washing up, more expense and a bitter unpalatable lesson
