Continuous
improvement is better than delayed perfection.
I’ve woken up
hungry – that’s never a good thing! I’m
looking forward to a roast dinner though, my sisters making us one so that’ll
be lush later. Might have me a bacon
sarnie for my breakfast, might through an egg on it too. I know how to live J
My kitchen
got started yesterday, it won’t be completely finished for about 5 or 6 weeks,
it’ll be usable from today but because I’m having the wetroom in September and
the sink side of the kitchen will be done then, he’s going to leave my worktops
and put them all on at once, in-between he’s going to put me temporary worktops
on. At least I can have it decorated
before then, not getting any paint on my new worktops will be a bonus.
How sad is it
that I got excited about a plug being fitted in my living room yesterday! We’ve had to have more power points put in
the kitchen so he went straight through the wall and put me one in the living,
there’s never been enough power points in this house, and now I can charge my
phone whilst using it from my armchair.
That makes me happy and I don’t care how sad it is.
I have to
share this recipe because when it popped up on pinterest yesterday, it looked divine,
I can’t remember which website it was from though, but how good does it look,
if you use skinless breast or legs it would be free on No Count using your
daily allowance, otherwise just point what you use, it’s 52sp for a 1.5kg whole chicken.
Ayam Panggang Kunyit (Grilled Turmeric Chicken)
1 whole
chicken (cut into 12 pieces) (about 3½ lbs /1.6kg)
2 tsp
ground turmeric or 4 knobs of fresh turmeric (pounded into a paste)
½ tsp
salt
¼ tsp
ground pepper
Vegetable
oil
1. Place chicken pieces into a large Ziploc bag. Add
turmeric powder (or ground turmeric paste), salt, and pepper. Press out as much
air as possible from the bag before sealing.
2. Mix everything well by kneading the bag to make
sure chicken pieces are well coated with spices. Place in the refrigerator and
allow it to marinate for at least an hour.
3. Pre-heat an outdoor grill to medium heat, about
250°F to 300°F (120°C to 150°C). Brush the hot grates of the grill with a
little oil.
4. Arrange the chicken pieces on the preheated grill.
Brush the tops of chicken pieces with oil. Allow it to cook for about 20
minutes, turning once mid-way. Increase heat slightly to brown meat, turning
whenever necessary. This will take another 5 minutes.
I found the
website http://www.rotinrice.com/2012/05/ayam-panggang-kunyit-grilled-turmeric-chicken/
I had the recipe from.
I may not be
able to cook yet, but I can drool over recipes online and look forward to
cooking in the future. I wanted to cook
in the meetings next week but it’s just not feasible with the house upside
down, I can’t find anything, it’s all in the shed I think. Then they’re going to be ripping out the
kitchen window tomorrow and making more mess, so the cooking demo will have to
wait for another week, I need to be realistic.
What to do
today? It’s weird when there are people
in your house, even though they’re working you feel guilty sitting around, well
I do anyway. I might start clearing up
the garden a bit, do a bit of WW work maybe, we’ll see how I feel. Maybe not the garden because of my fingers, I
don’t want those burns to get infected.
I’m going to tidy my room, change my bedding and tidy the living room –
yeah that’s what I’ll do, then mom and me can have a few hours together
chilling.
Whatever your
plans are, enjoy your day BeYOUtiful.
