chicken in cider with prunes went down well. mum had 3rds and the nieces and nephew all had 2nds so works across all generations. i had two good sized portions.
one problem, the chicken pieces fell apart, i didn't stir too much to try and avoid it, but i think someone had a good vigorous stir and all the meat fell off the bones leaving a bit of a mess in the pan. you want to cook the chicken nice and long so flavours can infuse but you want the chicken pieces in their original state and shape. -
spanish throwing mud at their king and calling him a murderer for causing all that rain to fall on valencia. hopefully when charlie visits some floods this winter we can follow suit.
i've got my mud ready. -
perfect day .... with the exception of virgil injuring konate

ah the memories of steve foster and the artificial pitch
i remember listening to liverpool v luton in some cup competition in the 80's on long wave ? with the headphones on dads stereo, midweek and the ball bouncing abnormally high -
yeah pretty much that ^ although there are a lot of chicken pieces ( 7 people 2-3 pieces each ) though so may just season and roast them in the oven rather than pan fry them to get the skins all crispy and seared, then chuck them in the sauce to cook for an hour or two . the prunes were part of mums recipe so i'll stick with them. i have done a version with the stew veggies like parsnip carrots suede all in cider in the past which was pretty delicious. also have done a version with white wine as the sauce liquid also pretty nice.
maybe get mum to bring round a few of this years cox's orange pippin apples from her tree and chuck some slices in for an addition layer of appley goodness. the apple brandy sounds good but extravagant ! saying that some of the local cider makers are producing their own calvados / brandy type spirits from their ciders so might grab a bottle or two for xmas. haven't ever tried the locally produced ones so would be good to get a sample before glugging it into the sauce.

all the recipes i've been looking at don't have many extra bits and bobs. like you say if you try and cram in too much it can spoil the basic ingredients and the simple flavours.
mum used to make it when i was young so i thought i'd see what i could rustle up, see if it was as tasty as i remember.
maybe a little roux added at the end to thicken things up a little. looking forward to it already !

had a zx spectrum 48k at home, used mostly for playing games. plus dad used to bring home computers, from the school he taught at, during the holidays so had a bbc micro, early macintosh to mess about on as well. sadly never did anything useful with them just wasted endless hours on manic miner / elite / zalaga / defender etc. but it kept me away from the glue sniffers and heroin addicts in the local town so there is a small positive !

was out for a ride today and stopped for a perry at a small countryside village pub, then up rocked about 20 odd nissan gtr's with a bentley at the head of the pack. little did they know the pub was quite full and there were no spaces left in the car park... cue about 20 mins of 20 odd gtr's trying to reverse out of the pub car park and find 20 parking spots in the tiny village.
muppets, lets hope they can drive forwards with more aplomb.

thought i'd give cerys matthews a blast sunday morning, started with a couple of great tracks then some talking head with word soup diarrhoea came on and spouted some shit for 45 seconds and just had to turn it off. unbearable. unlistenable and down right unintelligible.
stuff like " floating in a mindstorm of ambient dialecticism " .... not their exact words but you get my drift.
i had no idea what they were bumbling on about and i'm pretty damn sure neither did they.
