Since we have a long weekend, I'm thinking about what kinds of foods I can spend lots of time making.
I think I'm going to make a roast chicken on saturday. I'm going to do the french thing and put potatoes under the roasting rack so they can soak up all the juices - we'll see how it goes.
If I can find some good greek orzo around here, I'd like to make manestra with some of the chicken pieces on sunday (that's orzo roasted with chicken, onions and garlic and topped with parm cheese - it's my childhood).
Then Monday I want to make a big batch of chili (to freeze, mostly) and I think roasted leg of lamb. I love lamb, but I never have enough time to spend to really let it roast for a long time, and I think it's best that way. It's also a pain that legs of lamb are so big and it's just Donovan and I, so I think I might cut off some and grill it, then roast the rest.
Ahhh, it's going to be a good weekend. :)
mannnnnnn, i gotta find a chick that cooks like you. i cook better than all the girls i've ever gone out with. such a shame.
i think everyone should just work in a restaurnat for a while and it will make them love cooking. like i used to loathe it. but just seeing so many ppeople cook all the time and enjoy it made me try to think of better ways to cook stuff. not that i'm that good or even that i love to cook now but i just realized the work and effort. and things just pop into my head now of good combos or things i wanna make or con the chefs into making as specials. plus you learn all the great shortcuts.
Aww, that's sweet! But none of this food happened. Donovan and I both felt crappy all weekend so we didn't really eat anything. This will have to wait for another holiday weekend.... sigh....
