The weeeeeeeekend baby!

Gardening! Sewing! Braaing! Playing drums!

Su over early on Saturday morning - long chats while mowing the lawn and making food - saffa chicken and butternut on the braai. Then crack out the sewing machine and work well into the evening with a glass of red. Reading bracelet :) Sunday morning finally oil the wooden garden border out the front, and then do the long-awaited second coat on the deck. Back to sewing - two custom pillow cases for my tempur pillow. Lots of other items fixed. Some drums, with my new cymbal. Plans for a cymbal bag underway.

Sunday evening cooking Spanish chicken for two with parsley from my own garden :) So easy!

Method Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put all the ingredients into a large, wide ovenproof dish. Mix everything together with your hands and season. Bake for 45 mins, stirring the onions after 20 mins, until the chicken is golden and the onions tender. Serve with rice. Recipe from Good Food magazine, October 2009
