Boys are born to do it

All the boys I know are great at cooking. How is it that all boys seem to be naturals at it? And why do all boys have drool worthy eyelashes? Unfair! I call Bullshit!

Last night was dinner with Francois, he whipped up a delicious meal of chicken and vegetables. I arrived with a loaf of bread so fresh it was still hot, I am not the most gracious guest ever!
Yes, a pink tea towel

Is there a correct way to wrap bread with a tea towel?
When I got there, Francois was already cooking.

Don't be fooled by his housewife demeanour, this boy not only won Mr Gay South Africa 2010 but Mr Gay World 2011 too!
It's getting hot in this kitchen! Phew!

Gays followed by plagues...the bible bashers did warn us!

A world famous activist for gay rights! And he is cooking for little ol me.

He had done all the food preparation before I arrived. Let's brown the onions



Add chopped tomato, green pepper, mushrooms, olives and a teensy bit of chilli to the browned onions


Throw in a whole bunch of spices, in no particular order, with no regard for measurement - how am I ever going to learn to  do this myself Franny?? I need exactness!

Remove the veggies from the frying pan, no need to wash it, add the chicken and fry it, (it had been marinated in lemon juice for a few hours)

You can actually add the lemon juice that the chicken was marinading in. Fry until golden brown.

Remove the broccoli from the steamer


Dinner is served!

The meal was delicious and beautifully plated (see the fancy terminology I've learnt, hooray for the cooking channel!). I don't have any food preparation details or measurements so I won't be trying this at home soon. I had planned on taking notes and getting recipes but never got around to it. You know what it's like when us housewives get together, too much talking and laughing <3
