thanks for the recipe, sir ! it's so nice of you to provide a vegetarian version as well. it sounds delicious, i will definitely try it now that it's cold enough to have the oven on for 1hour forty-five minutes.

Here's a one-pot dish that is quick and simple. I call it mediterranean couscous. (If you are North African, then please stop reading now. It is not very authentic.)

1. Sauté a finely-chopped onion in some olive oil. Add some garlic, if you like it. If you have a red or green pepper then add it too.
2. Then add bits of cooked chicken, chorizo, merguez, sun-dried tomatoes (or fresh ones, skinned and chopped). Use your imagination to devise a pleasant savoury mixture. Season it with a bit of salt, some cumin, or some saffron, (or whatever you like).
3. Add a cup of easy-cook couscous and a cup and a half of boiling water, or stock.
4. Bring to the boil. Clap a lid on it, turn the heat to very low. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Eat it.

Vegetarians can omit the meat and add a mixture of vegetables. This is a good way of using up those little jars of artichokes and aubergines in oil.

excellent. that sounds delicious, and one-pot recipes are my favourites. plus this is clearly the sort of recipe you can make lots of and then reheat for 2 days. even better. bookmarked.

The Loved One sometimes makes something similar to that, often with celery and onions (and sometimes carrots) chucked in with the chicken. Not baked, but more often just sautéed, and poured over the boiled rice. We affectionately call it "Chicken Slop", it not being something he found in any recipe book, but just something that was "made up" from "whatever's in the fridge".

If you're going to go the mushroom route, use Cream of Mushroom soup...

Right now, I'm just looking over the just arrived Season 5 DVD of Outrageous Fortune, a kiwi television series so good we'll probably start telling everyone it's Australian.

Argh - my head is still on holidays in Thailand but my body is definitely at work in the cold, bleak Netherlands. The dissonance! The discord! At least the coffee is better than that instant crap they have over there I suppose.

I can believe it.... the company we have outsourced most of our servers to had a servicewindow Friday night, and when I got into work today... surprise, surprise, about a gazillon things did not work as they are suposed to. And this is NOT the first time this has happened.

Every servicewindow they have, something ALWAYS breaks. GAH!

But now it looks like I've started to sort most of the problems out.

But I do have a nice book to read, thanks to Zee.
No matter if you think you might not have the time to read, you NEVER EVER leave your book at home! It's part of the ritual of getting out of bed: "Take book, never leave it out of your sight". If I leave without any form of electronic reading device, I'd feel naked... I don't have a cover for my Mini yet, but still it goes wherever I go!

Yes, I can see how this book might appeal particularly to you so please do go back to it.
Well, looks like you have to, if you didn't bring any other books...

holidays in thaïland ? pff. and you're complaining about the resulting dissonance ? you've only yourself to blame, mate. that'll teach you to go away to a tropical paradise just at the first onslaught of winter ! if you go creating unequal comparisons for yourself you just make it harder.

so "service" in this case means "wreak havoc and destruction" ? you wouldn't happen to have outsourced to "cthulhu and associates", would you ? or "the four horsemen", possibly ?

No, but I think I saw an invoice marked Monstnmags Enterprises which stated Adrian as the reference, I can't quite remember though. There seems to be some kind of wierd "lapse" in my memory of said invoice...
