Last night I cooked a chicken from a French recipe, using my Dutch oven for a whole chicken for the first time. It was incredibly tender and delicious, with an amazing stock left in the pot (which I saved). I still prefer my usual roast chicken in an open pan -- love that crispy skin! But the flavor infused into the meat was amazing (garlic, white wine, lemon, thyme -- pretty simple). Tonight we're having chicken pot pie with a sauce based on last night's stock.
We tried one of the meal in a box delivery services this week. Mom didn't enjoy either dish, maybe because they were unfamiliar flavors and rather mild. We'll see how next week goes, but I expect to cancel this service (Plated) and try something else. Walmart is beginning to supply boxes of produce and meal kits; maybe that's next.
I've been eyeing Escapade notices with longing. The only current things I'm watching are... The Good Place and Lucifer and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I've dug into some shows on BritBox and Amazon. Was disappointed in Frankie and Grace, though there was some very funny dialogue. I'm on the fence about The Assassination of Gianni Versace and even less enthusiastic about The Alienist, sadly. Maybe it will improve, but now it looks like a less illuminated version of Ripper Street. To keep the Mom entertained, we've been watching a ton of Murder She Wrote and Monk and Blue Bloods. She absolutely loves that game show that Ellen hosts; she loves slapstick.
My elbow is very painful, making all reaching and lifting and bending of my arm difficult. I think it's repetitive stress pain from knitting. Bleh.
