Coronation Chicken & Cosmetic Procedures

An odd match, agreed. An easy and excellent coronation chicken recipe that looks the part yet takes barely any effort whatsoever and a week of blepharoplasty HELL. You’re welcome.

Last weekend, we drove to Cookham to celebrate my excellent mother in law, Judiths, birthday. When I say ‘we’, I mean me, having been forced into the driving seat by my husbands insistence that his eye bags were too big and needed operating on. When he first raised the subject of saggy eyes a year ago, I was very sceptical. Anyone who knows Joe will know that he has the competitive nature of a Traitors participant and my suspicions were that he was trying to find something that he could do to get in line financially with my dermal fillers. He denied this, of course and became slightly obsessed. He joined Facebook discussion groups with people who had undergone blepharoplasty (the technical term for this procedure) - we’d be watching TV and I’d look over to see him avidly scanning before and after photographs of newly refreshed eye bag free faces. Tbh, I didn’t think that he would go through with it - Joe is prone to health anxiety and I presumed that the idea of someone carving out his eyelids would ultimately scare him off.
