L.’s mother started cooking up a storm for us early in the day & some of the good news most of it was local and /or organic, so we were able to keep up with the challenge. As her cooking always is, it was very delicious. L. was very happy (7 chicken legs later)to have a home cooked meal that reminded him of home – having his family next to him made he even more happy – this in turn made me happy. (we are all a bunch of happies now).
We started with a rice based soup which we added bits of chicken as well as a squeeze of lemon. Very light and refreshing. Reminded me of a dish my grandmother and great-grandmother made, but with rice and garlic – we usually got it when we were not feeling well. The main course was a baked chicken dish with potatoes (I love these guys) and chorizo – spiced with peppers, wine and tomato.
