I have chicken scraps, enough for two, in the freezer from last week's roast. I also have a large panful of lovely chicken stock. Mrs Steve and I are not supposed to drink alcohol on Mondays and Tuesdays but I've already told her that this coming Tuesday is an exception, as Liverpool are playing Roma in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final that evening. I will be making that risotto I mentioned above, to be in two big bowls by kickoff. But I'll start by frying four ounces of pancetta before frying the onion, which means I won't need much butter at the beginning. It's her favourite so I should be able to get over the hump of breaking our pact...
