PERSIAN CHICKEN MONEY BAGS W/ WATERMELON, MINT & FETTA SALAD

Published September 7, 2011 by Anna Johnston

 

I decided it was time to give Maverick, that’s my freezer, a bit of clean. You see, I’d done the shopping and well if your anything like me you, you date, name and pack away your new goodies in an organised manner, although, maybe that’s a cheffy thing?

This is a perfect quick meal to throw together when you feel like hitting the couch with your favourite throw rug & watch a movie or two, or if your like me, settle on down to watch the new series hitting the little screen.  The adds sucked me in, making it impossible to not watch.  Yep, I’m talking about none other than Downton Abbey, so what does everyone think about the new soap?  Good huh?
