Dinner - As promised

Dear Alexa-
Tonight I roasted half of a local raised chicken from the CSA. I coated it with olive oil and lemon pepper from Penzeys Spices. The mashed potatoes were baby reds, also from the CSA, spiced up with a healthy dash of French Onion Dip and some garlic powder. Finally we had some flash cooked green beans. Strangely enough the green beans are frozen and from Aldi, but they really are the best green beans I've found. They are the super thin type that I love.

A leg and thigh for me and the breast for Michael.
I could make a joke about him being a breast man,
but really he just doesn't like to eat meat off of the bone.
Something that seems crazy to me.

Yum!

Also this week I've been eating tons of watermelon.
Check out the giant hunk I ate for breakfast on Sunday.

Well that is "what the Perry's are eating tonight". Not really exciting, but yummy. I have no real plans for tomorrow. Maybe a quiche. I have some bacon and spinach that I need to use up and once again we have more eggs than I know what to do with.

Hope you are having a great day!

Today's CSA Haul

I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed with the CSA last week, but this week it was great.

• 1 whole free-range chicken (which I've already roasted)
• The chicken turned out beautifully. I was slicing it when I realized that I should have taken a photo, but trust me it was perfect. And it tasted pretty good too. I chopped the rest of it up for soup or chicken salad later in the week.
  
• 1 dozen farm fresh eggs (I'll be making a frittata later)
• I made a potato and chicken frittata for breakfast, it was good but needed onions!
  
• 1 jar of local honey (we use a surprising amount of honey in this house)
• 1 jar of fresh made salsa (chips and dip are always welcome here)
• 2 baguettes (I traded in the tofu - which I can't eat- for the second loaf)
• 3 huge tomatoes (I'm sure they were grown in a hot house - but at least it was a local one)
• a bunch of fresh rosemary (which I used to season the roasted chicken)
