Thursday Lunch

Today I had the day off work, and was waiting on an important call... I have been really anxious to get it for a while today, and felt sure some important information was coming my way this week. I found out at 930am that it wouldn't be until next week.... so my plans of celebrating or consoling myself for the day were replaced with cooking. Above is lunch. It is herbed chicken breast with sweet potato two ways. I boiled and mashed almost a whole kilo piece of sweet potato, blending it with salt, pepper and some honey. And i cut a few large discs which i baked. See below - i tried to present it nicely for once...


So i stacked up a big pile of the mash, and topped it with the three best baked pieces, then loaded it up with chicken. Then i put a mix of herbs, mostly corriander, and honey etc together to make a strong sauce, which i dripped around the edge, and onto the chicken on top.



And of course because i am a pig, and a long way off a real gourmet, i had a side of oven fries! haa... at least i put it on the side! It was good, all very yummy - but the sauce was too sweet and it needed more complexity... not sure how... oh well, next time. At least it looked the part.
