the weekend in bites and pieces



(that's me with a roast chicken and a glass of wine obviously)



On Friday, I made my first roast chicken and didn't give anyone salmonella poisoning. I am a domestic goddess!

I used Barefoot Contessa's roast chicken recipe. No, it wasn't the engagement chicken. Much to my boyfriend's relief.  It was super easy except the part where I stuck my hand inside a bloody cavity to get the giblets out and pieces of chicken splattered all over my leopard print dress. How come this never happens to Barefoot Contessa? We never see her hand inside a chicken, exclaiming, "Isn't this fabulous?" Because it is the opposite of fabulous. It is faux fabulous.

On Saturday, Boo came over and we played a game of Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture Edition for three and a half hours. Do you know what it's like to play Trivial Pursuit with your boyfriend that long? If you love him, then don't.

Afterwards we went to a party at his friend's place and I had to keep myself from starting sentences with "Do you the name of the pop singer..."

On Sunday we made apple walnut pancakes. Hummana Hummana.  Apparently those pancakes weren't enough so I made some chicken salad samiches using the leftover roast chicken. Hollerz!

Then Sunday night I watched a sketch show at the Upright Citizens Brigade, spent some time on the internet and watched this funny webseries, and made roasted potatoes with lemon using this recipe.

Ps: The potatoes were the bombass potatoes! I ate all of them.

Pps: I need to be wheeled to my room.
