That all sounds good.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 09 '12 at 11:21pm

The whole roasted chicken was definitely the best. It was immaculate. I have a picture on Facebook that's not that great. But man. It was delicious. I think Brian ate his weight in chicken that night.

aNonnymouse on Jan 09 '12 at 11:42pm

Sweet potato soup? Oh snap, that sounds delicious. Griff is also a fan of the whole roasted chicken. My family's taken to simply calling it "Griff's chicken."

how'd it go with macarons? they seem plenty difficult

Polyester Jones on Jan 10 '12 at 1:43am

if the chicken was the best and it was the only thing that you made together i guess we know what that means

taz-pie on Jan 10 '12 at 4:31am

Man I love roast chicken. Apparently you can roast them with an open can of beer in their butt. Mmmmbeer

They tasted alright, but they weren't very pretty. I flavored them with pumpkin pie spice, and was going to make a pumpkin creme filling, but I took them to Thanksgiving at Brian's dad's, and apparently dairy desserts aren't kosher, so they had no filling.

So really they were just cookies made with a macaron recipe, and looking nothing like macarons.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 1:26pm

They were all eaten by his family, so i guess they weren't terrible.

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 1:31pm

they were pretty tasty

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 1:39pm

Rosemary lamb chop, roasted rutabaga (which would have been delicious if we hadn't gotten impatient and pulled them out of the oven so soon) and asiago mashed potatoes:

Whole roasted chicken with herbs de provence and salt:

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 1:40pm

i'm gonna get that rutabaga right next time. i really liked the taste of the pieces that weren't hard.

Chipmnk on Jan 10 '12 at 1:42pm

Fun fact: I've never had a macaron.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 1:47pm

I never had either, Alvin! But they're made with almond meal/flour, so it's a naturally gluten-free dessert option, which is neat.

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 1:56pm

i wanna eat that chicken again

Chipmnk on Jan 10 '12 at 2:00pm

I've had meringue cookies, which are like macarons...?

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 2:03pm

nah, meringues are just egg whites and sugar. macarons are a bit different, though the concept is similar.

shirtflirt on Jan 10 '12 at 2:07pm

just doing some comparison...how big was that chicken in lbs?

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 2:10pm

about 4 pounds

shirtflirt on Jan 10 '12 at 2:16pm

thank you.

we got our first organic fed, free range, etc...chicken last week.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 2:17pm

Mine was organic and free range, too.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 2:20pm

This was the basis for how we cooked our chicken.

shirtflirt on Jan 10 '12 at 2:21pm

nice!

i'm trying to figure out how the hell our chicken was almost 8.5lbs.

i used half a chicken breast for two meals on saturday.

tracerbullet on Jan 10 '12 at 2:23pm

holy crap, that's a huge chicken

shirtflirt on Jan 10 '12 at 2:27pm

it's insanely huge. seriously, the chicken breast is the size of my very first baseball mit.

littlem on Jan 10 '12 at 2:34pm

mmmm this blog. mmm breastseseses

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 10 '12 at 2:34pm

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Maybe it was half turkey.

shirtflirt on Jan 10 '12 at 2:37pm

not sure. but we made the noob mistake of cooking some too early.

we picked it up wed, at 530 and it was processed wed @ 3pm.

after waiting 48 hours the taste and texture was unreal

This was a purely solo effort, but I was pretty proud of my results.

Better photo of the potatoes taken this morning when I had better light:

Chipmnk on Jan 29 '12 at 11:32am

How did you make the potatoes look like flowers?

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 29 '12 at 11:38am

An icing bag and star tip, like this:

Next time I make them, I might try to make roses.

Chipmnk on Jan 29 '12 at 12:07pm

Space-aged potato device.

mike bautista on Jan 29 '12 at 1:26pm

"how old is that potato device?"

"space"

mike bautista on Jan 29 '12 at 1:26pm

Also can I come over please and we can exchange food for hugs.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 29 '12 at 2:15pm

You are invited over everyday, Mike.

Every.
Day.

jet approves on Jan 29 '12 at 2:22pm

purty potatoes

Chipmnk on Jan 29 '12 at 2:26pm

"How much hug can I get for this walnut?"
"A handshake."

jeffreyg on Jan 29 '12 at 3:45pm

those tates look awesome

rhythmdev9 on Jan 29 '12 at 6:27pm

Why are potatoes yellow? Did you pee in them?

jeffreyg on Jan 29 '12 at 6:32pm

90% butter

rhythmdev9 on Jan 29 '12 at 6:33pm

Probably Eskimo pee from the Yukon Territory.

iPear on Jan 29 '12 at 6:41pm

GOT DAMN

iPear on Jan 29 '12 at 6:43pm

hello can you make food that is good and fancy likd Mcdondalds

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 29 '12 at 6:57pm

They're duchess potatoes, which means you mix egg yolks into mashed potatoes and then bake them.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jan 29 '12 at 7:00pm

Also, YES, OMAIR.

rhythmdev9 on Jan 29 '12 at 7:24pm

Ahhh, the yolk must take them to next level of textural goodness.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Feb 06 '12 at 2:46pm

So we both forgot to take pictures, but on Friday, I made sauteed beef, which was tasty but a little tough, and together we made baked macaroni and cheese, which was deeeeelicious. On Saturday, Brian made sauteed Swiss chard, roasted beets (that we didn't end up eating), and amazing pan roasted chicken breasts that had marinated for 24 hours in a dry rub.
