Skillet Chicken & Peppers; bags of money

I used celeriac in this recipe, chopped, but I listed celery as the ingredient as that is more likely to be in most kitchens.

Next time I make this I’ll toss rice into the skillet with everything else but someone wanted potatoes.

Chicken thighs would be good, also, with only a slightly longer cooking time.

For the rice in the skillet: Skillet Chicken with Spanish Rice.

I was cleaning out a cabinet the other day and I found bags of…. money.

One would think that finding bags of money would make one giddy with joy.

It made me…. shake my head in bewilderment.

Why did I keep this money?

In separate little bags I found Irish punt, British pounds, Spanish pesetas, Moroccan dirham, Portuguese escudos, Hungarian forints, Swiss francs, French francs, Canadian dollars, Italian lira, German marks, Norwegian krone, and some I haven’t identified yet.

In some cases it was just a few coins left from a trip and not worth exchanging…. Souvenirs.

In some cases it was a lot of coins and some paper. I either didn’t bother to exchange it with the assumption that I would be needing it again (hopefully) or just didn’t get around to it.

With the exception of the Moroccan dirham, most of it is older than 2000 and out of circulation, which is when the euro was introduced.

Well, except for the kroner, pound and Swiss franc – they’re still in circulation but we haven’t been in those countries in 20 years.

Regardless…. I have bags of money that is not spendable.

Further research is required.
