Lemon Chicken

Luscious Lemon Chicken

Hello and a very happy Friday to you!

Did you have a lovely week? I sure hope you did. 

As for myself, I paid a visit to the dentist yesterday. My dentist is very nice and gentle, that really helps with the general dread I have of visiting dentists. However, I still get very nervous. I had to get a filling replaced yesterday and had to be numbed before the procedure. Needles at dentists are the worst aren't they? Even worst then at the doctors! It went very smoothly and really was much better than I thought it would be but the whole left side of my face was numb for a good 3 hours after the procedure. In that time, since I could not eat, I baked a cake. It helped to cheer me up. At night, to cheer myself up further (that is my excuse) I decided to cook up some lemon chicken.

It's fried, crispy, juicy and oh-so-moreish.

Hey everybody! How was your weekend? Tell me all about the exciting or not so exciting things that you got up to.

I myself went to Sheffield for the weekend. We had to attend a dinner on Saturday night so we thought that we would make a weekend getaway out of it. We managed to squeeze in a walk around the very picturesque Damflask Reservoir in Low Bradfield. It is an easy circular walk with a distance of about 3.8 miles. If you want more of a challenge you can always turn it into a run. We did see quite a few runners doing a couple of loops around the reservoir.

Carrot and Sultana Muffins

Carrot and Sultana Muffins

I love muffins that have a nice distinct muffin top, a little crusty and soft and moist inside. If I had to pick a flavour, carrot would be my choice. It must be the spices in it, the moistness, the heavenly smell when it is baking - the aroma wafting from the kitchen to your entire house, it is a culinary experience that is so richly comforting and satisfying. If there is a bottled home fragrance for carrot muffins, I would undoubtedly buy it for my home. Until such a day, I shall be content with baking wonderful carrot muffins. It's not such a bad idea I think.
