Runaround............

No luck with the rental app. Apparently the landlord doesn't want dogs and wants minimum 12 month lease.....Why in the hell the RE agent couldn't have told me that before making me inspect the property, fill in applications and ring the references is beyond me...... ARRGHHHHHHHH !

Anybody want a 4 year old Golden Retriever ?

Rel - The recipe is from BellyBelly (which you introduced me to!)

Creamy Homemade Chicken Stew
– Posted by Tigergirl1980

What you need:

235ml Low Fat Evaporated Milk
30g All purpose Flour
680g Chicken thighs or breasts
340g small fresh Button Mushrooms
2 Potatoes, peeled and cubed
410g Pearl Onions (I used pickling onions)
2 large Carrots, coarlsy chopped
340g froz Green peas, thawed
235ml Chicken Stock
3g Salt
.5g Ground Black Pepper
.3g Dried Marjoram
.3g Dried Rosemary
15g chopped fresh Parsley

Instead of using the herbs suggested I went with Italian herbs as this covered the herbs mentioned above and then some.

What do you do with it:

In a small bowl stir together flour and evaporated milk until smooth.
Place Chicken, Mushrooms, Potatoes, Onions, Carrots and Peas in slow cooker.
Pour in Milk mixture and Chicken stock.
Season with Salt, pepper and herbs.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
Stir in Parsley just before serving.
Serve with rice or pasta.

Ahh feel your pain re: rentals. We had no kids, no dog (and no cat as far as they're concerned), dual income and we wanted a 12 month lease minimum - and we still had trouble!

Hope all goes well for you and you get something suitable soon.

Love the floorboards too.
