A Break in the Action

You'll have to forgive me, but today am kind of .... hmmm, I guess in an odd mood and can't get inspired (as of yet) to write more history.

Got a good recipe tho'.
Baked Chicken with almost no work, wish I could remember where I got it from.
Take a whole fryer, cut it in quarters....
Oops...first preheat your oven to 375....
Put aluminum foil over a cookie sheet...
spray a non-stick thingie on the foil......
rub the cut up chicken with extra virgin olive oil....
sprinkle liberally with lemon-pepper...
I've experimented with other spices, but that seems to be the best so far...
place the chicken on the foil....
dribble some honey on top of the chicken.....
place in the oven and cook for 35-45 minutes....
Thats it.....takes about 10 minutes max, and is a hit with everyone....
Oh...one other thing......and this is from experience... don't forget to change the oven from pre-heat to bake!

I will probably add some of Mum's favorite recipes as we go along.... She was always experimenting with new recipes... well, I should amend that, she was always getting new recipes....They would sound good and she never seemed to have the time to get to allot of them.

Growing up, we lived quite frugally (and we kids didn't know it)... That meant pretty much the same menu every week. Got to hating liver and onions with a passion....that was until I had been away from Mum's cooking for a few years and my wife didn't cook liver or even want to be around it. So I started eating it at restaurants and then when separated learned to cook it my own self.

We do change into our parents.

Anyway, that is all for now, and maybe more tomorrow or this evening.
