Terrible week at work. Everyone counting down to the weekend. Even on Thursday morning I was trying to plan a curry for Friday night which wouldn’t be to taxing, a way of shutting off, economical, be able to have a wee drink to leave work behind. Can’t say much more than that in the public…

Fried Chicken Lollipops 👍
Simple, delicious, these chicken lollipops take chicken drumsticks to another level. Once again, the secret is all about the marinade.

Amazing BUTTER CHICKEN 👌

Food that warms the heart ❤️
