Back in the States! Yay! (Maybe?)
I arrived home at about 9 pm on Thursday evening, all sorts of sniffily both from my cold and from being sad about departing London. Fortunately, the Blackberry and PS3 that awaited me provided the necessary moral support.
Anyone who watches Ina Garten knows Friday night is roast chicken night, and dang nabbit, I’ll be no exception! I happen to love roasting chickens, and I was severely in the mood for some comfort food. All I needed was some Scotch to complete the meal (well, technically I had a Bloody Mary, a martini, and then wine…).
However, for someone fresh off the plane, complete with cold (which as I type has morphed into a chesty cough), perhaps the menu I decided upon was a bit too ambitious. The PS3 in the living room was also taunting me. I made: herb bread, cream of wild mushroom soup, a roast chicken, and praline mousse.
That chicken looks freaking awesome.
Not bad at all for Jet lag and a cold. You should put the residaul from the chicken to good use and make some “Jewish Penicillin”, aka chicken soup. It’s been demonstrated to have signficant anti-viral and ant-bacterial properties. Truly. And of course chicken stock itself is a goo start for alot of other dishes, eh?
Someday I’m actually going to have to learn to *type*. Sheesh!
Had chicken soup the following day ;D About four bowls of it! Still sniffly, though…
Dear Brian. I just read the recipe and directions for the chicken [I should be able to handle cooking that:)
Frickin” Hilarious!!!
“Rinse off the birdie bird..place our dearly departed clucker…like he’s doing a sit-up…”
I have NEVER had so much fun reading a recipe!!!
Thank you:)
