anyways! i cannot wait to get home today!! i have been wanting to make this chicken with mushroom and cream for-EVER but always seem to forget! wen i remember to buy fresh button mushrooms, i forget about the dish and make sauteed mushrooms with scrambled eggs instead. or cook it with butter and garlic n eat it with rolls. mmm... yummm... eh eh! focus focus!
ever since i saw amy adams preparing this dish in julie & julia i was hooked! butter! cream! mushrooms! chicken! wats not to love!?! i CANNOT wait to get home and get started! i even contemplated cancelling my tuition class today- bad teacher! then i remembered she has an exam tomorrow..
wen im cooking something, i actually get more excited about making the dish then actually eating it!- ok my rear end may give u an impression otherwise but i also eat out a lot so yeah. i dont eat much when i cook. unless its spaghetti. janna and spaghetti is a dangerous dangerous combo. i actully get up in the middle of the nite to go tinkle and get cravings. at like 3am. and i actully layan this crazy cravings. so id b raiding the fridge at 3am and eating a bowl of spag bol in front of the telly before falling asleep 10 mins later. hows that for unhealthy lifestyle!
so anyway! yes! i love the process of making something!! the going to the supermarket to pick up fresh ingredients! and cutting n slicing and zesting! i love zesting lemons for cakes! i love making lemon cakes coz i cannot get enough of the smell!! i never use lemon essences in my cakes- only the natural zest! i love it! eventho i have zested my fingers and hands along so many times i still love doing it! so worth the battle wounds!
i love love love cooking for people! and i live for the moment their eyes lite up n they go mmmmmmm!!! yummm!!!! yes yes i do like having my ego rubbed every now and then bt who doesnt eyh?
eh btw pls watch julie & julia if u havent yet. if that doesnt bring out the kitchen goddess in u then u def are a lot cause. i can get fat just by watching that. the cravings u get watching her create heavenly goodness out of pounds n pounds of butter is so wrong it has to be right! am i making sense? i cannot live without butter either. butter and garlic make up a huge part of my life- and my a**. i only watched it once, and went on a crazy cooking spree later. am afraid to watch it again.
so i cant wait to get home tonite! were gona have a little cooking date at home. im quite territorial when im in the kitchen- an issue im working on. hope the chicken doesnt come out pink!
this is the dish im talking about. are u drooling yet?

ReplyDeletemintak recipe plisss missy!
girl i swear sdap ok!! n senang gils!! mari u didnt show!
ReplyDeleteera- i roasted the chicken with chopped garlic and fresh rosemary n thyme tucked under their skin and smothered them with seasoning (salt, pepper, brown sugar).
n threw them in the oven, covered at 170 for 30 mins. i took off the foil cover after that n let the skin crisp up a bit before removing them to sit for 10 mins.
for mushroom sauce- i used abt 300gms of fresh white button mushrooms-sliced, some minced garlic, red onions, bout a cup of cream (fresh cream, heavy cream- any cream will do)and seasoning.
i had a bit of fresh prawn stock but if u dont have any just use water. sautee onions till translucent then add garlic- dont let brown. then add mushrooms n a bit of water. cook till slightly soft then add ur cream, add more water if it gets too thick. add seasoning and stop self from licking uber hot senduk. spoon onto chicken n swat notty hands trying to steal ur food before eating.
senang x!?! n sooo yumm!!
era- if u dun wan to bake d chicken pon xpe- coz baking takes some time u kno. u can also pan fry or grill the chicken in a pan! so wanderful kan!
ReplyDeleteoh phew, glad dont have to masuk oven.. u mention the word oven n temperature je it sounds complicated! not sure if d oven at home works or is in fact an oven even.. could be microwave! haha yes i can be that clueless. urmmm ok i try n let u know! weee thanks jane!
