Florentine Butter Chicken with Burst Tomatoes and Basil

Adapted from this recipe, posted for 007 Fest 2023, @mi6caferecipes

This is a fantastic dinner which serves many people and is easy to scale up to serve more...provided you have a big enough pan. It's also very versitile and you can swap out a lot of things, like different herbs, or swap the cherry tomatoes for canned tomatoes if you want more of a sauce.

Ingredients

2-3 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp butter

2 sprigs fresh basil

lime frost sea salt

430g (ish) cherry tomatoes

50g plain flour, seasoned with lawry's

1 egg, beaten

2 skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half to be thinner

3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

425g freshly cooked angel hair pasta

You'll also need two shallow bowls, a bowl for tomatoes, and a big frying pan. I use my 12 inch with high sides. But you can do less chicken to make it fit in your biggest pan.

Directions and pictures below the cut.

Directions

Heat the oil and 2 tbsp of the butter in a frying pan over a high heat.

Add the basil, tomatoes, and season with sea salt. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften but are still holding their shape.

Tip into a bowl.

Start some water boiling for the pasta.

Put the egg and flour separately into two shallow bowls.

Dip the chicken first in egg, then in the seasoned flour. (If you feel like getting more plates dirty, you can do this to all chicken before putting any in the pan. I do it in conjuction with step 7.)

Heat 1 tbsp butter in the pan and when melted, fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, basting the chicken in the browned butter if there's enough.

Probably midway through that, your water has started boiling. Cook your pasta according to directions given on pasta.

When the chicken looks just about cooked, return the tomatoes to the pan with the remaining butter and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan and serve to plates. (Or forget literally every time you make this to take the chicken out.)

Add the pasta to the pan to absorb the flavours for a minute or so.

Serve the linguine & tomatoes to your plates with the chicken, scatter with more basil if desired.

007 FEST 2023 / Fix-It Day

[The greatest fix-it experts lie within the @00qad-fandom. There is nothing we have not endured and subsequently fixed. Forever.]

A FIX-IT DAY COLLAB BROUGHT TO YOU BY @kitten-kin of @teamqbranch and @a-forger-and-a-point-man of @teamofvillains!

Every year after the buzz and the noise and the packed calendars of Pride Month and 007 Fest are behind them, the 00QAD family pack up the cars for the 10-hour drive up to the Scottish Highlands to Skyfall, where they spend August keeping Kincade company and getting some fresh air.

James loves driving all the way in his highly prized Aston Martin DB5, and Danny joins him for the intimate (read: cramped) ride. It's very special for Danny because he's never really had nice things - and James treats him like a star.

This naturally means that the more grounded and practical gentlemen in the family - Q and Alex - take a more sensible vehicle that fits luggage and two cats on leashes and their litter box. It's a lot safer to have two cars for the journey anyway.

When they pull up to Skyfall, Kincade's doggos run up in excitement to the familiar faces, but they're immediately put in their place by @princesspampuria who scares the SHIT out of these fierce hunting companions. The boss lady has arrived.

Pam loves the August vacation because she can hunt sheep and deer, and yes, she does it alone, and no, not always for food. Possibly just blood thirst and sport.

Kincade always has the finest Scottish salmon prepared for his little princess. Despite James' best efforts, Kincade is as in love with Pam as Q is.

It has taken a few years for James and Kincade to reconnect - or even reconcile, in many ways - and get to the place they're in now. James isn't used to genuine, older, wiser, paternal mentorship. But no matter how old he gets, he sure as hell needs it, and the boys are keenly aware of that.

Kincade knows what they all do now. He doesn't ask too many questions, but he allows them the space to let things out when they need to. He loves them like his own children and grandchildren, and this is what James must get used to: a natural, unconditional, familial love that isn't tied to what he does or where he's been. It's just there.

This yearly visit to Skyfall is also critical for James to reflect on where he came from, and spend time at his parents' gravesite. When a man knows his roots and understands that he was always loved, it changes him.

All that said, Kincade's favorite humans are actually Danny and Alex. Danny and Kincade send each other care packages throughout the year, and Danny is such a wonderful listener to the lifetime of stories Kincade always shares around the fire.

Turing always joins them, laying across Kincade's lap. Turing was officially given to Alex by Q to be his therapy cat, so Turing recharges in these settings.

Alex is also a good listener, but he knows to take advantage of what Kincade can teach him in the time they have together. They are both very outdoorsy people, and Kincade has taught Alex hunting, fishing, archery, and the cooking of certain animal parts. Alex is game to try out new things.

Q and Kincade have a warm and cordial relationship, but Q lives in his own head a lot, and he's not exactly fond of lacing up his hiking boots for a sunrise trek. So he'll spend. lot of time doing maintenance on Skyfall's security system, broadband connectivity, and electrical supply.

You're wondering what Kincade thinks of their relationship. And that's a very valid question. He thinks they're all well-raised gentlemen and he wouldn't trade them for the universe, and that helps tremendously in accepting that his little James - that jumped up shit - has become a man with not just an unconventional job, but an unconventional family life. They're all happy, and that makes Kincade happy, and Danny teaches him about queer culture and how to celebrate Pride at Skyfall. Kincade still affectionately calls the community "the gays" and tells his mates down at the pub that all of his sons have delivered him sons-in-law.

A great amount of time is spent in the kitchen on making three meals a day and eating together at the table. There's hearty haddock soup and tattie scones and plenty of "stovies" after their big Sunday roast. The twins' sweet tooth (Q & Danny) means Kincade always has plenty of ingredients to make his famous Cranachan every week.

Danny and Turing bake pawprint shortbread to leave as a parting gift for Kincade, and the boys all make sure they've cleaned up and done the laundry and are leaving the house in better shape than they found it.

Goodbyes are never easy, and Danny cries, and Pam cries too then screams bloody murder and refuses to let go of Kincade. An ice box filled with wild Scottish salmon for the ride helps a little bit. After a month, even the doggos are sad to see the boss lady go.

James never ever shows that he's getting emotional, but in the car, alone with Danny, he lets out the breath he's been holding, and confesses that the trip was the best time of his life - until next year.

Oh my gosh I had so much fun making this one. Did you know there was a 9 eyes logo in the film? Did you know that depending on which on-screen graphics you believe, the ninth country is either italy or australia? I solved their continuity problem by not including either flag.

Headcanon — If you can't beat ‘em, bribe ‘em

James Bond has 534 tried and true methods for extricating Q from his Branch.

But when the full-on smoulder goes unsnarked, the ear nibble with scruff nets him a distracted swat, the perfect cup of tea placed precisely within reach merits not even a deep inhale, let alone a sip, let it never be said that James Bond won't call in reinforcements when the straits are truly dire.

He just bribes Q’s cats to doze on Q’s keyboard and then he pulls out his never fail tricks.

He throws Q over his shoulder and launches himself through the door, so R can lockdown Q’s office. (Don't worry, the cats have special doors. Can you imagine cats redesigning pneumatic tube delivery systems though.)

((James is much too smugly pleased with himself to notice his Boffin’s smirk and jaunty wave to his Branch from his elevated sprawl.))

And then James spends the rest of the night making it up to Q.

00QAD heacanon

Alex was saved in the nick of time, but still had to leave, and being angry at the people and the system ended up dropping off the radar and turning his skills to trying to find information to expose the corrupt and nefarious deeds of the government. But Danny, believing he was gone set out on his own mission of revenge, learning to code, and getting swept up into 6 as a way of keeping him "silent" and "under control". But he still has a purpose he keeps hidden, planning to rise through the ranks and get access to everything he can, and he eventually gets promoted to the Quartermaster position.

As Q, he finds himself pitted against an unknown hacker that is trying to crack his system, and they end up testing each other repeatedly, the hacker trying to gain access, and q-branch trying to track him down, until Q think he's found an opening and the hacker expresses his anger at being torn from the one he loved, from the life he could and should have had, and he won't stop until the government pays... and the gears are turning.... Q finds a way to reach out and offer an alliance, not yet realising who it is
