Chicken roasted with a lemon shoved up it and a little salt and pepper – nothing else.

More rain this afternoon. Whereas this morning it felt cosy with soup bubbling away and chocolate brownies in the oven by this afternoon the rain and wind pushed me over the edge into that cabin fever-y headache-y feeling that comes with being stuck in the house with 4 kids all day. Nothing for it – more cooking.
The biggest potatoes available sliced into long wedgy chips, Fat organic rump steaks, fresh corn, large flat brown mushrooms, blue cheese, honey, brocoli.
Stick the potato chips into a hot oven splashed with olive oil and chunky sea-salt. Cook for around 40 mins shaking every now and then. Sear the rumps for a minute or so on each side and then finish in the oven. Drizzle the mushrooms in honey and add a lump of blue-cheese then put in the oven for around 10 mins. Steam the brocoli and corn.
