{Baking/Savoury} ADOBO BUTTERMILK CHICKEN, OLIVE OIL SCHIACCIATA {Bread} … & a Giveaway!
“A man who loves good food has a way of making it gravitate toward his kitchen.” Angelo Pellegrini Finally glad to be back doing what I like best. Sometimes it takes an innocuous looking bug to mess up your life. Something that sounds as assuring as ‘Security Tool’, a rogue anti-spyware program downloaded via some stupid site, which messes up your computer. The past 2 days have been horrid and frustrating, battling this virtual virus, but am glad to say that the the back breaking time has been worthwhile. I busted the virus step by step, following a list of 24 odd instructions, most gobblygook, but managed to get my…

I SPY A PIE…IT’S SAVOURY & IT’S FOR IVY!
“Men may come and men may go…..but Pie goes on for ever.” George Augustus Sala All savoury pie roads lead to Ivy’s @ Kopiaste this September. There’s a savoury pie food event at the Greek gals place & it’s been on my mind the whole month. With the weather getting cooler here, pie times are beckoning. Have a few bookmarked pies on my list, but with September quickly disappearing before my eyes, I’d better send these little rustic savoury galettes Ivy’s way. Made mini galettes with left-over home-made pizza dough from here. I flavoured the basic pizza dough with chili flakes, Italian seasoning & garlic powder (loads of it). Got…

Since it’s screaming the colour RED, am sending this off as an entry to Sunshine Mom for her event Food In…
