We went out for dinner on Sunday (since nothing good is open on a Monday night, well nowhere we wanted to go anyway - also Mr Brown had booked in for his Sea Safety Survival Course exam on Monday night - the duffer) to one of our favourites, the Boathouse at Blackwattle Bay. It's become a bit of a tradition, going to the Boathouse on the 16th of October (or the 15th in this case).
So yesterday I treated all of us (because the furry girls LOVE chicken, they circle the dining table like sharks) to a lovely roasted chook with all the trimmings. Isn't it a thing of beauty - what a shame we can't do smell blogging - twas lovely. That and a lovely bottle of Hunter Valley Chardonnay - what more could you ask for?
What's more, leftover roast chook means Chicken Risotto (with mushrooms & spinach) for dinner tonight. Bliss.

oooooooo, yummy.
Hey I made my very first roast chicken in my whole life, just last week.
Roast chook with: roast taties, sweet tatie, roast pumpkin, roast carrot, steam broccolli & brussel sprouts plus seasoning/stuffing stuff AND gravy. I'm sure I've left something out here but MY GOD. It was very yummy.
My only error was not taking out the giblets b4 cooking (which B removed after 30mins of cooking and oh, they were yuk). The chookie suffered no icky gibbletty taste, which was a big relief.
There's just something so comforting and heartening about a roast dinner isn't there?
I love a roast dinner - my mum tells a story that when she cooked her first roasted chookie as a new wife she too left the giblets in (in their little plastic bag). Most chooks now days don't come with em, if you want em you have to buy em specially! I've a polish friend who's dad used to fry up giblets and eat them for breakfast - erk!
