Tomorrow's menu

[shesingsnow]

It occurs to me that I don't really have a foodie icon. {EDIT: Fixed}

So, I'm still tweaking tomorrow night's menu:

- whole roasted chicken, following anita_margarita's advice
- mashed potatoes, or perhaps I shall salt and bake them
- butternut squash cubed and baked with diced apples, sweetened with agave nectar
- a salad with lots of the leftover fixins from Friday's luncheon

I need to keep it on the healthier side for Dad.

For dessert, I have two slices of chocolate-covered pineapple left - one for Mom, one for Dad. (I forget if I mentioned that one of Dad's customers sent me a box of chocolate-covered pineapple slices for helping him with a spreadsheet.)

Yes, this is definitely a crazy turkey-sized chicken. This is the one my brother gave me after the hurricane. He appears to have gotten it wickedly on sale, because the price on it is only $7 and change. But I checked and it's a crazy 8 pounds. Really looking forward to chicken salad.

Let's see. The few times I have roasted a chicken, I have done exactly that - slathered the chicken in herbed butter, under the skin. And then I kept it basted. But I'm LOVING the bacon idea.

Pretty cool that you lived out here!

I will check out Rose Levy Beranbaum. Thanks!!
