Every month we intend to treat ourselves to Salt and Pepper Chicken Strips [ not as good as the balls from Nana&#8217;s chippy but still pretty good ] and a main course with noodles.  The hope is to try a different dish every month but I&#8217;m pretty sure we&#8217;ll quickly revert to Crispy Chilli Chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PXL_20231106_131139433.PORTRAIT-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first ever Magic Monday dish was Peking Chicken &#8211; and it was fantastic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My daughter tends to finish college quite early on Mondays so we decided to start a new tradition.
