Grief

Grief's a funny thing. You can be fine, getting on happily and then suddenly it hits you. Like a wave that just topples over you, sending you tumbling, unable to breathe, struggling to come up to the surface, and then it's gone. As quickly as it arrived. Gone, in an instant. And life just carries on. You finish your dinner and get on with the next job on your to do list.

Easy chicken liver pâté

This is the easiest pâté ever, and my first pâté making attempt. 

You need:
3 cloves of garlic
500g chicken livers, trimmed
3 tablespoons of butter
50ml double cream

Method: 
Melt the butter in a large pan 
Cook the livers and garlic in the butter, the livers will be brown outside and pinkish inside
When the livers are cooked put the contents of the pan in the food processor with the cream and whizz until smooth. 
Put in ramekins and refrigerate over night.


That's it! Simple as that!
