I hope if you cooked a Father’s Day meal today it turned out better than mine 😢.
We had an early dinner and I decided on La La’s creamy lemon butter chicken. When I started cooking I realised there was only 4 thighs in my online order - and I needed at least 5! So quick dash to the shops to get some more.
I obviously got a bit excited and bought too much 😳. I tried to fit it all in the pan - was serving it on Arborio rice BUT because I had so much chicken, the liquid didn’t get down to the rice.
Went to serve and half the chicken was not cooked properly and the rice was still crunchy 😳.
Lucky I’ve got a few credits from previous meals and as my brother said “all chefs have bad days!” 🤣
Did redeem myself with the cinnamon chocolate self saucing pudding - really tasty!
Anyway most important things was I got to spend quality time with my Dad, which is always worthwhile!!
