今日はほぼ１日雨の予報でしたが、お昼ごろにぱらぱらっとしただけで後は結構良いお天気でした。

It was forecasted to be raining most of today but after a little rain around lunch time it ended up being quite sunny all afternoon and into the evening.

今日の夕食は、金曜日に Cowdray Farm Shop で買った「Smoky Chipotle（スモーキーなチポトレ）」にマリネしたチキンのもも肉。我が家は基本的に皮なし、骨なしを使いますが、これは皮付き、骨付きでした。皮を剥ぐとマリネがとれてしまうのでそのままで、エアフライヤーで１５分くらい。少し長めに焼いたので骨の周りも赤くなく（骨付きのお肉って外で食べると骨の周りが赤いことが多くて、それが気持ち悪い）、マリネもしっかり染みていて、皮もカリッと焼けていて美味しかったです。（マリネ液に４日間漬かっていたのでやや塩辛かったです、消費期限が今日まででした。）

Today’s dinner was using the “Smoky Chipotle Marinaded Chicken Thighs” that we bought at Cowdray Farm Shop on Friday.  Usually we use chicken thighs without skin or bone but these had both skin and bone.  As getting rid of the skin would take away a lot of marinade we used them as they were and baked them in the air-fryer for 15 minutes.  As we cooked a little longer than we had to we didn’t see any red bits around the bones, which was good.  When we have chicken thighs with bones in pubs/restaurants I almost always find red parts around the bones and they gross me out.  They had taken on the marinade well and were tasty with the skin being nice and crispy.  (As they were in the marinade for four days they were a little too salty, today was their use by date.)

サラダもなんとなくメキシコ風にして、とうもろこしの身をこそぎ落としてフライパンで空焼きしたところにミックスビーンズを加えて少し温まったところにチポトレペーストを加えて混ぜたものをトマト、玉ねぎ、赤パプリカ、アボカド、ライム汁、塩胡椒、オリーブオイルを混ぜたものに加え、そこにサラダ菜類も加えたもの。ちょっとチポトレペーストを入れすぎて結構辛くなりましたが、美味しかったです。

I made the salad with some Mexican flavour.  I cut off the sweet corn kernels, dry fried in a frying pan, then added cooked mixed beans (from a pack ) and let them warm up, then added some Chipotle paste.  In a separate bowl I mixed tomatoes, onion, red pepper, avocado, lime juice, salt, pepper, some pickled jalapeño  & olive oil and added the mixture of sweet corn and beans to it.  I added a little too much Chipotle paste so it was quite spicy but good.
