Dinner tonight

I was just so pleased to have (finally) left work for the day. It was cold and dark, but soon the days will get longer. Tonight I decided to make Moroccan Chicken and Couscous. It was just delicious! I loved the fact that I could use a whole host of spices (and herbs) to create such a flavoursome meal. I find that preparing and cooking a meal is rather cathartic.

For dessert, I created my own recipe... nothing lavish, but I warmed some honey and vino cotto on the stove, while whisking vanilla and marscapone together. I placed the marscapone at the bottom of the bowl, then some strawberries (cut in half) and then topped with the vanilla and marscapone. Use a vanilla bean. Scrape the inside and use that. I know some recipes call for cream to be whisked into the marscapone, but I didn't have any and it all tasted fine.

You could also cook the strawberries in a sugar syrup with some lime juice if you wanted to.

Enjoy your evening!
