Go Go Go Leicester!! Oh yes ~~ Congratulation Leicester. Leicester football team won season end champion on Monday. It is a very good gift for people in Leicester. My friend, Miss S, and I drove pass the stadium. OMG, there were lots of people and they all looked very happy. Because we are the season end champion. OH YEAH!! Even though both of us are not fans, we are so proud of them.

 

Another interesting thing is that most people who have no ideas where Leicester is. Now, they know it because of Leicester football team. Hope they can continue their great job in the following seasons.

Steps of Hungarian Chicken Goulash

(1) Heat the oil up in the sauce pan. Add onion in the pan. Fry around 3 minutes.

(2) Add carrot and tomato in the pan. Cover the lid. Simmer it until it turns tender. Might take around 5~10 minutes.

(3) Blend all ingredients by hand blender. Mix dry basil, tomato purée, and paprika into the sauce. Bring it to boil, and switch the heat off.

(4) Add chicken into the slow cooker. Pour the sauce into the slow cook. Switch it to low and cook for 2~3 hours until the chicken turns tender.

 

Paprika is the spirit of Hungarian Goulash. If you like it, you can increase to 3~4 table spoon. For me 2 table spoon of paprika is perfect. Although the winter this year in the UK is not very cold, I still like to eat this kind of hot food. Enjoy it.

Creamy Chicken

Finally, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2” is in the cinema now. My friend and I went to watch it yesterday. Because it is off-peak time that only 8 people were there. But, no matter how many people there, they still need to play the movie. All of us hope they can skip advertisements and trails and jump into the movie. HAHA… No… we still spent 20 minutes to watch it. Anyway, the movie is good. Although we know what the ending is, we still cried at the end. Jennifer Lawrence is an excellent actress that she makes this movie better.
