Chicken Kebab with Rice and Vermicelli Pilaf

I popped into my only local Asian food store yesterday as I was passing to stock up on a couple of items that I had run out of.

Blackbird

I didn’t want to neglect my Antiques category and thought I should pop a small post in to get started.

Just to show what you can pick up, this little beauty cost a staggering 75p from my favorite charity shop. It is not unusual to see these for sale for ten times this amount and quite often more. Continue reading “Blackbird”
