So, this was my first meal in a while. I haven’t been sick or anything like that, just super busy. My first meal since Sunday night – good times. Monday was book club and while we eat well, its not really a meal, Tuesday I had a recital, Wednesday I had the worst pizza ever and threw it in the trash – SO I was particularly happy with this simple yet delicious meal.
The hen is easy – salt and pepper inside and out – stuff cavity with 2 cloves of garlic and fresh rosemary. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. The mashed potatoes are easy too – boil potatos, mash with butter, garlic, cheese and whatever else you love to have in potatos. I served this with a nice green salad. It was a very satisfying meal to have after so many days, but I am pretty sure I would have enjoyed it equally well even if I had eaten meals more recently!
Since dinner we have been listening to helicopters and other emergency vehicles – there was a huge explosion at the sugar refinery here in town…wish the best for all the workers and their families…it looks to be pretty bad.
Ditto here about the families of the sugar refinery explosion. The news made it all the way out here to Colorado!
