For the past week and a half or more I’ve been suffering from a particularly bad bout of influenza. I thought it was getting better and then pow! – it knocked me out for another week. Even as I type this I am still coughing and spluttering and feeling generally not quite right. So there’s been a few super quick and easy meals of rice and eggs and that sort of thing. You all know what that looks like, you don’t need photos. On Saturday I made chicken dumpling lemongrass soup. It was good, and just what I needed.

Sunday night I made Osso Bucco. I just made it on the stove top, not in the slow cooker, and I think it turned out more tasty.
