A variation of Jac’s chicken stew, and another bowl and spoon dinner! – chicken and corn stew, with chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions and lots of corn. I loved the flavour of that delicious gravy and how it soaked into the rice. I loved the pop of corn kernels as I bit them. I ate more […]
“How about chicken stew for dinner?” Jac asked me. “Yes please!” I replied. “Chicken stew for dinner ANY TIME!” She served the stew in a big bowl over rice. I took my first mouthful. YUM! “Mmmmm! How did you cook this rice?” I asked. “I used half water, half chicken stew juice,” she said, …
Jac started out thinking she’d cook a chicken curry, but the dish ended up more like a spicy chicken stew, with chicken thigh pieces, potato, carrot, beans and onion. The chicken stock-based gravy flavoured with curry powder tasted fantastic, especially soaked into the rice! I loved it and told Jac she should make it again. […]
I loved the chicken stew Jac made recently, and while I was sick I asked if she could make some more. It smelled wonderful as it bubbled away cooking on the stove.* I ate the chicken stew in bed. Jac served it to me on a tray, with two slices of fresh multigrain bread and […]
I recently had a craving for a dish my late grandma used to make. She called it a chicken stew, and it was simply chicken pieces, usually on the bone, with vegetables, cooked in a rich gravy. I loved to eat the stew with fresh buttered bread or with rice.* I described the dish to […]
12/4/2008 – Jac made a stew using a tin of cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, chicken thigh pieces, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. She baked it in the oven in a casserole dish. It smelled and looked absolutely fantastic. She served me up a big bowl of the chicken stew with steamed broccoli and […]
Last night’s dinner, chicken stew made by Jac. Another no recipe dish. She browned chopped onions and chicken in the wok (she cooked the whole thing in our big wok) and added potatoes, carrots and frozen peas. She poured in a litre carton of chicken stock and seasoned with white pepper, let it all cook […]
Yesterday afternoon, Jac sent me a text message: “What do you want for dinner?” I texted back: “Something with chicken and vegies. No preference whitey or asian”*. When I got home after 6pm something smelled good in the kitchen. It was the big pot of chicken stew Jac was cooking. Oh, it was really goooooood. […]
This was dinner, 5/12/2005. Jac made a big pot of beef stew with potatoes, carrots, celery, peas and onions. We ate bowlfuls (well, I had two bowls, Jac had one) with slices of fresh crusty bread. Sorry I haven’t been posting. There’s been a lot of crap going on, some of which I can’t write […]
