| Lilacs and Lily of the Valley from my garden. |
Lily of the Valley is one of my favourite spring flowers and I didn't even know that it is poisonous, did you? Handle with care and definitely don't eat it.
I have a new dish soap that works well and looks fetching perched at the edge of the sink: Mrs. Meyer's Basil Dish Soap. It's so weird because the lavender version of this soap gives me a massive headache, but this one causes no ill effects. It smells wonderful, though I don't think it smells like basil at all.
You're going to think I'm CRAZY but I had a Chef to my house for dinner last night.
Bravery or madness, let's go with the latter. Anyway it was fine, I kept it simple and I did not cry.
I served roasted asparagus with Nigella's Ricotta Tart. You can see her recipe
HERE.
Nigella serves hers with radicchio but I think we can all agree that it would be delicious with almost any grilled or roasted vegetable.

Our main course was this simple yet effective chicken recipe, also Nigella's. You can see her recipe for this divine dish right
HERE.
I served it with roasted rosemary potatoes and a very light pinot grigio.
We had a great time, the Chef and his partner have a lovely family of three children who were so cute and interesting. There's almost nothing better than a conversation with a four year old.
I hope your week is off to a fresh start.
