It's officially fall PART TWO
Wednesday, October 04, 2006
My friend Michelle, inspired me to make my first roast chicken ever. Honestly, after 15 years of being a vegetarian, I started eating chicken about 4 years ago. For the most part, I stick with boneless skinless chicken breast. I am not a fan of chicken on the bone. But it is fall and I was feeling adventurous. So I got out my roasting pan that I got for Thanksgiving last year and had at it. Wow, it was so easy and so good. I put potatoes, turnip, parsnips and carrots in the bottom of the pan under the chicken. Holy cow, what a bit of chicken fat will do to veggies. Yum. I even made a quick little gravy. Don't ask for pictures though because 10 minutes after it came out of the oven, I had that carcass torn apart and thrown in a pot to simmer for chicken noodle soup tomorrow night. Go me.
I am ready for something bigger. Who wants to come visit for Thanksgiving?

Hey, I'm glad you made a chicken! I bet it was wonderful!! And yes, chicken/lamb/turkey/pork fat all do wonderful, sinful, amazing and naughty things to vegetables :)
I guess what amazed me was how easy it was. Though I was terrified of not cooking it enough. I used my new thermometer to great success!
This is reminding me of my test runs for a stuffed tofu loaf I tried, when we were having our meatless thanksgiving in 1999. I'm not sure even chicken fat would have made it palatable.
