This evening Lu did a simple fried chicken sandwich. Most tasty.
What did you cook/eat today (March 2017)?

Chilli for dinner - what else 
1 bowlful for now and 2 for the freezer. The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of chilli powder and 1 spoonful of cayenne pepper; it was like fire in a dish. I don't think I can do that any more, so I cut the chilli down to 1 tablespoonful and put a spoonful of paprika in it instead of the cayenne pepper, and no salt! I followed it with a mugful of organic drinking chocolate (no milk, no sugar). Heaven

For breakfast, I crisped up some French Stick, halved it lengthways and spread beaten egg with grated Cheddar and popped it under a medium grill for 5 minutes.
Dinner, probably at 5 ish, is going to be roast Gressingham duck, butternut squash and roast potatoes.

The link.
Well it didn't.
It appears to work now.
[You must remember that here in Nakhorn Nowhere we didn't have electric until 10 years ago so our internet connections are a little suspect).
My mistake - I corrected it! I thought you meant the idea of the dish didn't work for you. I was sceptical but in fact it was delicious!
Accidental heart bread. I formed the dough into a sausage, twisted it and then coiled it up like a snake. So it should have been round. But anyway...

I haven't had duck for a long time. I'd like to know how you cook it as last time I did it was a little tough. Was it a whole duck?

It was a whole duck, 2Kg. I cooked mine at Gas Mk 6 for 40 mins per Kilo plus 10 minutes, then 15 minutes resting time. It was lovely and tender.
