Evening all,
Mr P is currently away from Monday morning until Friday afternoon, with no access to a kitchen and a limited budget for eating out.
So, when he IS home, I try to do reasonably healthy food.
Friday. Sweet chili chicken, bami goreng, small salad on the side.
Saturday. Grilled ribeye steak (on special offer in Lidl) jacket potato, salad.
Sunday. Chicken parcels (a chicken breast, a quality chipolata sausage on top, wrap the whole thing in bacon, bung in dish and roast) roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese (not a whole cauliflower, just cut off a few decent sized florets) leeks, mashed swede, stuffing, a few carrots for me (he's not keen on carrots 
) gravy, of course.
He says I do too many different veg, I disagree!
I prep them all, (apart from the potatoes, somehow we have got into the habit of doing them together, him peeling, me chopping ready for par boiling, while listening to the omnibus edition of the Archers 
)
I feel that he eats some pretty crap food while away, so like to feel that I'm at least giving him something halfway decent when he's at home!
BTW, he did say he enjoyed his meal, just that there was a bit too much. Didn't see anything left on the plate though.........
Oh, sorry!
Um, well, you sort of pre heat the oven to around 200 ish, shove it on the middle shelf, and erm cook it!
I don't add any fat or oil, the bacon should produce enough lubrication 
, and depending on the size of your breasts, takes roughly the same amount of time as the roast spuds.
But if cooking without spuds, somewhere around 45 mins...... ish!
Oh, you all know about sticking a skewer or sharp knife and judging the juices!
I've been doing it for ages without really sort of timing it, just bloody typical if I end up responsible for poisoning a bunch of grans!
I think you cook it Crafting 
This is worse than Nigella for being suggestive 
OY PHOENIX!! ....Right, I've flattened my chicken breast (no comments about the size of my boobs please) straightened my sausage (ahem) and wrapped it all in bacon. shoved placed it in the right sizes dish ... and now what? I'm quite prepared to curse it ..or say some really unpleasant things to it.. but please will you tell me and aggie what to do with the flipping thing now! (never had this much trouble with Delia) 
Nipped but didn't break the skin phoenix
However, SAAK does seem to enjoy acting like a terrier and taking the chance to use her pointy teeth to nip someone. Don't take it personally, Phoenix it makes a change from me being nipped
Right then, (slurp)
To answer/respond to some posts:
Norah the bami goreng recipe is very complicated, but I'll break it down, step by step.
1) Go to Lidl
2) Purchase their fresh (not frozen) bami goreng.
3) Take it home, cook and eat, or if you feel the need to rest after all the exertion, you can put in the fridge and wait a while. Hope this helps.
Nannylovesshopping I will try to find the underwear on a train post, others might be able to find it quicker than I however. If waiting is a problem, the "thong on sideways" might bridge the gap. (It certainly bridged my gap, I can tell you! )
MawBroon You are absolutely right, the gammon was cursed! (Cooked as well, of course, but definitely a lot of cursing involved).
Right, off to top up my glass, and do some more work on my dissertation on "Politics for Cats,the Implications of Brexit on Border Control and the Economy, from a feline perspective.
It does - we've tried it! Enjoy
