Garlic Herb Chicken Skewers

Garlic herb chicken with pita bread

In my last post I promised to show one use of the pita style bread that I had made. Usually I would just cut it open and fill the inside with whatever I am eating, but for this meal, I was a bit more lazy and just put everything on top and folded it over.

I made some garlic and herb marinated chicken, and cooked it under a grill on skewers. It would taste even better on the BBQ, but it was a bit cold for that. Now that the weather is warming up, I will soon have the BBQ out.

Pita style bread

Pile of cooked breads

I promised to post some recipes, and I mentioned some lovely recipes I had made. Here is the first for a lovely pita style bread. I won't say it is pita bread, because I just made them on the spot without any real recipe, but they did the job, and tasted wonderful.

There is a slight problem with me coming up with things on the spot, any measurements probably won't be accurate since I just guess afterwards. For this it doesn't matter too much, the recipe would be constantly changing due to weather, flour, or whatever. Dough recipes tend to be like that, so it's best to start with a rough number to follow then adjust until it "feels right". This should be a particularly dry dough, we don't want the inside to puff up like bread, we want a nice pocket of air with some gorgeous tasting bread around it.

Almost done

There is about a week left until the deadline for my final project for university. It constantly feels like I'm butting my head against the wall. I'm really not sure if I will manage to get anything decent done in time. Everything is just piling up on top of me and I have nowhere to hide from it all. I have some pictures of things I've cooked recently but right now I'm a bit too stressed to make any meaningful posts, perhaps later today or tomorrow I will post some. Right now I think its mini-cheesecake time, those things are lovely. They are just store bought ones, but I'll definitely be making some when I have the right ingredients. Once my project is done I'll have a bit of time to relax while I study for my exams. then during exams I'll have some money to make some lovely food. I can't wait to be making good food.
