Nothing much...

...just a short update to keep up with my attempt to post regularly. My travels back to Wales were thankfully uneventful.

On a different note: Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of yesterday's food, but it was AMAZING and therefore here is the recipe:

(serves 2)
2 chicken breasts wrapped around garlic butter and wrapped in a slice of thick bacon, held together by string
2 garlic cloves
3 big carrots, washed, peeled and cut into sticks
1/2 savoy cabbage, washed
a little bit of double cream
pepper, salt, majoram

With a tiny dollop (love that word!) of olive oil, put the chicken and carrots in a pirex dish and leave in the oven at 200°C for one hour. Meanwhile, cut the cabbage in thin stripes and boil in lightly salted water until soft. Drain and set aside for later.
After the hour, arrange the carrots, chicken and cabbage on plates and leave in the still warm oven. Take the chicken juices, put in a small sauce pan, crush the garlic into them, add some double cream, salt, pepper and majoram and carefully bring to the boil. Reduce sauce several times until it has reached the desired texture. Pour over the cabbage and chicken and serve.
It is divine. I am salivating now. ^^
So long!
