I'm going to go ahead and throw out an apology for the lack of posting. I'm on a critical care rotation and Jake is doing cardiology. They're both very demanding. I leave the house around 6:30am and I usually don't get home til about 10pm. Jake's schedule is very similar. There isn't much cooking going on these days. Look for a return to life at the end of this month when I get a break.

Because I wanted to cook as well.




History:
Tomorrow I become a warrior! So, to prepare I am making my final meal as a non-warrior. We have left over potatoes. We needed some bread. And I had chicken in the freezer... the rest was up to the store.

Menu:
Fresh Bread
Roasted Chicken
Green Beans with Bacon and Onions
Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Guada
Blueberry and Peach Tart

Bread:
Again, this is the core recipe I made awhile ago. Clark did a good post on it. Simple, easy, great.

Chicken:
Roasted split chicken breasts. 425 for 45 minutes? Seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Little slice of butter under the skin.

Green Beans:
Blanch the green beans to give them a crunch. Dice the bacon. Render the fat, cook the onions in it... add the green beans. Toss.

Potatoes:
Soft boil the potatoes for 20sh minutes until soft to a fork. Use a blender and puree to help make fluffy. Melt down 1/2 stick of butter, and saute large diced garlic in it. Add the potatoes and smash! Add another 1/2 stick of butter, some milk, and fresh grated guada cheese.

Tart:
Again, older recipe, but really good.

Enjoy!
