More Chicken and Special Potatoes

This year for Thanksgiving, my sweetie wanted to make a turkey using the "Spatchcocked" method. Do I know what that means? Well, sort of. It has something to do with the way it is cut open, or something. Since the last thing you want on Thanksgiving is a disaster, a practice run was made on a chicken, and here is a picture of a "spatchcocked" chicken.



Inspired by my trip to Paris last spring my sweetie decided to bake it with potatoes on the bottom so that the juices from the chicken would marinate them as they cooked so they are soaked in chicken juices. See what it looked like:



Holy cow. it was just like in Paris....so delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yummy Chicken

This is a plate of Thai Chicken with sticky rice and lettuce. My sweet heart made it but I helped flip it on the grill. It is the best chicken in the world. Yummy!!

Shaky Ground

I am so tired and sad. It is so hard to motivate yourself when there are people in your life that do whatever they can to bring you down. I am angry that I have let anyone hurt me and make me feel this way. I must do whatever I can to get past this and move on...that means accepting that I can't change other people, only myself.

"Wicked" is still wicked!

I went to see the show Wicked last night for the second time and I still love it so much. Defying Gravity and For Good are still really awesome tunes. I feel inspired once again to get up off my duff and get started and this show makes me feel like I can. If I am really going to start my life over again I need all the help I can get.....thank goodness I still have my music!

Should I or Shouldn't I?

With Halloween just barely coming up I'm doing something that I usually loathe...planning for the holidays. I have always been a big giver of treats for the holidays and it always makes me feel good, but I am trying to decide if I want to bake at all this year. I am debating whether the warm fuzzies outweigh the cost. I'm also not sure if I really want to have the leftovers in the house as I have gained weight since I joined the ranks of the unemployed 3 1/2 months ago. I guess I will go with the wait and see approach...at least until Thanksgiving.
