    That's fine mate.

    Honey Almond Chicken
    Really should be called honey soy chicken and it's not fancy but it's DELISH!
    Chicken breasts
    Mix equal parts soy sauce, honey and slivered almonds (recipe says 2tbspn each, but I like it swimming).
    Pour mixture over chicken in oiled pan.
    At 190C for about 30 min.

    Warm Roated Vegetable Salad
    I messed with the quantities, and the orig said capsicum, I used zucchini, and added some other things too.
    - Quarter butternut pumpkin, cut into small pieces
    - 2 large potatoes, cut into small pieces
    - 1 zucchini, cut into pieces
    - 1 onion (I used a red one), cut into eighths
    - whole mushrooms (not huge ones)
    - spinach leaves (I used baby spinach)

    Put your pumpkin and potato in a covered microwave dish and nuke on 100% for 4 mins.
    Mix all vegies (NOT spinach) together and lay them on a large oiled tray.
    (I added rosemary, sesame seeds and pine nuts here)
    Drizzle or spray oil on top.
    Cook at 220C for about 30 mins (will be longer if you cut the vegies biggish).
    Line a salad bowl with the spinach leaves.
    Put the vegies in the bowl.
    Add dressing - equal parts balsamic vinegar and honey, with a bit of olive oil.

    It was pretty darned yum, and went with the chicken well cos that had honey in it too.
    And just cos I'm a good kinda gal, and it's sooo hard to make
    Choc peanut sauce
    mix 2 Snickers bars and 1/2 cup cream in saucepan until all melted, and reduce slightly to thicken.
    Pour on ice-cream.

    Some flavoured microwaved rice. Not great, but it's fuel.

    Pasta with chicken, mushroom, leek and white wine cream sauce. It was a 'oh shoot, it's 8:00 and I'm completely disorganised but don't feel like tinned soup' quicky dinner using the ingredients I'd got for something that was going to go in the slow cooker but didn't quite make it there.
