More food
People at work have often mentioned that our office seems to do nothing but talk about food and if we're not talking about food, we're eating it. What can I say, I like food and I like eating it, it's also nice having work mates who feel the same way :-)
So, today being Shrove Tuesday, pancakes are on the menu tonight. Recent experiments with pancakes and their fillings have lead Bacchus and I to the conclusion that lime and maple syrup is infinitely superior to lemon and sugar. However I'm planning something a bit more adventurous for our pancake fillings this evening. I plan to fry some garlic and chili in butter, then add some thinly sliced chicken breast. I will then add some finely chopped field mushrooms and a little white wine. Once that's all cooked I'll finish it off with some creme fraiche and chopped parsley.
For afters I'm going to do some american style chocolate pancakes, I can't remember the exact recipe, but I know it involves baking powder, meaning the pancakes rise up. I'm going to add a little sugar to the rest of the creme fraiche and a splash of chocolate extract and serve that with the chocolate pancakes and some passion fruit.
Can't decide which course I'm looking forward to most, however I do know I can't wait for dinner!
