What I'm doing for dinner
Oct. 8th, 2011 02:39 pmThanks to my mom's suggestion of roasted chicken, I've decided to... roast a chicken. I'm going to make a compound butter with shallots, garlic, thyme and rosemary and rub it under the skin, and stuff the cavity with lemons and moar shallots. I'm also making roasted winter veg (potatoes, carrots, and baby beets) and a green salad. For dessert, there's going to be baked figs with cinnamon and honey (thanks
taldragon!) with Chantilly cream on the side. I got a rosemary and sea salt focaccia loaf from the bakery that sells on the market stall. After that, given that I got unwaxed lemons, there may be some experimentation with cocktails, of some sort.
(One more squeeful bit about this meal - except for the figs and the lemons and the vanilla, everything involved came from within 100 miles or so of here. Well, I don't know about the brandy actually. Probably not.)
(Also,
jabber's suggestion for what I should do with them was a close runner-up.)
