Hi there its Me...on the comfort of chicken soup - Tuesday, 4th March 2014.

Home from my Rosemary Conley exercise session and hungry for lunch and, what do I find in my 'fridge, a tub of my home-made chicken soup made last night, when home from our Book Club meeting.

At the weekend, cooking chicken in the pressure cooker and braising a turkey leg in the oven, giving me the opportunity of making a few great meals to keep us both going!

So what did I make - well, chicken and pasta salad, chicken risotto and chicken veggie soup and here's my soup, dressed with ground black peppercorns and Parmesan cheese -





Also made last night, a quick white sauce, which will be mixed with nice pieces of chicken and mushroom, then covered with a layer of creamy potato mash for supper with friends tonight plus a dish of freshly made and flipped pancakes, served with lemon juice and sugar!!! Mmm!

I've just discovered a dish of "Layered Pancakes" in a family owned cook book, Good Housekeeping "New Picture Cookery"  ISBN 0 85223 079 6 of 1966, a stack of pancakes with whipped cream and jam between the layers - ooh! it looks kinda awesome!  Not sure really if I would do this today but it does look gorgeous.  Perhaps put together with fresh berries and Fromage Frais or even fresh berries and a little ice-cream or good home-made custard, with a dusting of vanilla sugar for a dinner party dessert!  To serve, cut into small wedges and prepare a light fresh berry coulis to dribble over as desired!!!

Must get on with my pancake batter and cook my chicken for tonight!

Byeee! for now, Daisy
