Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

was the choice for dinner last night, crumbed fillet, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, sno peas and baby peas.
The mushroom sauce was just a little different to the usual one, added just a little bacon.

Creamy Bacon and Mushroom Sauce
Slice half a brown onion finely, put into a small saucepan with a little oil, and saute until transparent, meanwhile finely dice 1 bacon rasher, with as much fat removed as possible, add to saucepan, slice about 100grams of mushrooms, add to saucepan and continue to cook until softened.
Sprinkle 1 dessertspoon plain flour over the mushrooms and stir, add half a can of evaporated skim milk and stir until thickened, add more milk or some stock if sauce is too thick.

No mention of Tuesdays dinner you will note, it was supposed to be a shepherds pie, but instead was yuck, complete disaster. Moral to this story, don't try to cook when not well. Just pan fry something and hope a lot.
