Im going to be busy today..

Yesterday was such a good laundry drying day... I did far more than planned.

Unfortunately that left me with a copious amount of ironing... sigh..

I best get cracking!!!

To make the time more enjoyable I'm going to listen to an episode of the Inner Sanctum Mysteries

This one is "Amazing Death Of Mrs Putnam" from 1941

Splendid!

And with tonight's dinner of a Chicken Casserole already wafting the kitchen with its delicious aroma

Its going to be quite a pleasant afternoon

Casserole of Chicken

This tasty Chicken Casserole comes from the 1943 edition of  The Radiation Cookery Book. A very popular book of its time... Published to compliment a range of gas cookers it was originally published in 1927.. and revised regularly for over 40 years. 

A very easy.. and comforting recipe.. perfect for a miserable day. I served it with the scalloped potatoes featured under the Casserole recipe and some home canned green beans

1 chicken

1 tablespoonful seasoned flour
2 ozs. butter
1/2 lb. mushrooms
1 pint stock

• Divide the chicken into neat joints, which should be dipped in the seasoned flour.
• Melt the fat in a frying-pan and when quite hot quickly brown in it the joints of chicken and fry the peeled mushrooms.
• Place chicken, etc., in a casserole.
• Pour away most of the fat, stir the remainder of the seasoned flour into the pan, and add the stock.
• Stir while bringing to the boil, and pour over the chicken.
• Cover the casserole with a lid before placing in the oven.
