Roast chicken again:

This is my third of three popular roast chicken recipes; Ina Garten’s Engagement Chicken, Darren McGrady’s roast chicken, and Jacques Pepin’s roast chicken.

Obviously, I liked this one quite a bit, as I took three pics in poor light, and it’s my favorite. No surprises, it’s Pepin’s.

I call it flippy chicken, because he starts it on one side, then flips it over partway through, and finally finishes it on its back.

Overall, Pepin’s, then McGrady’s (who gets extra points for being the easiest one), and lastly, poor Ina - her chicken is fine, but it’s more work for very little return over the others.

Now that I’ve figured that out, I probably won’t roast another chicken for 10 years. :laugh:

But you haven’t done steamed, deep fried or pressure cooked yet! 😂

Ah, but there is stuffing the chicken and also shoving butter under the skin...
 
Devilled eggs.

Lasagne and Cubed roasted potatoes. No pic of the lasagne, I forgot!

I plonked the egg white halves in the marinade overnight to get more of an overall coating.
Made 24 halves, mistakenly told Mr SSOAP to help himself. came back in the room to him saying "I can't stop eating these."
Managed to save four each for the boys 😆

I never heard or felt anything break when I fell 7 years ago. I took a huge lump of skin out of my knee (old 50p size) right to the bone. I was more concerned about that and infection to appreciate exactly how many broken ribs I actually had. X-ray said a possible 2, but when things didn't settle (and I didn't believe the x-ray figure) I had a bone scan done. Part way through the scan the technician came through and asked me exactly how many broken ribs did they think I had. I told him I thought it close to 6 or 7 going by how many places hurt. He asked us I would allow him to test how good their new machine was, no extra cost. He confirmed 12 breaks across 11 ribs and said it was probable there were actually 13 breaks in total.

On the bright side, it did confirm why I was in so much pain!

Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds painful. I fell 8 months ago. Sprained my medial lateral. Bruised my ACL. Lump almost as big as a baseball on my forehead. Sprained wrist. We certainly don’t recover like we did when we were young.
