Roast Chicken by maggiemae

Roast Chicken

Nothing is as good as a roast chicken dinner. We have 'dinner' at lunch time so enjoyed this meal, a bit like a Sunday dinner! I had done it in the oven in a closed casserole pot and the flesh dropped off the bones and was so tasty having put lots of garlic cloves in the bottom.

Three good things;
1. There will be plenty of chicken for the next few days.
2. John actually bought a new shirt ( a 10 year event!)
3. Thanks to Yvonne's ( @yonnie ) posting of her son playing the piano, I sat down at mine and played my own special make-up of music for some time! Its very soothing to be able to do that.
Maggie! that's what I am having for dinner tonight1 yours looks delish!!
i love your 3 good things...will we get to see a pic of John in his new shirt?

Looks like a lovely dinner--very yummy looking. And it's always great to have leftovers ; ) Glad you sat at the piano and played. I agree that is is soothing. Kyle was looking for a piece that was in a repertoire book and I found it on line FOR FREE--YIPPEE!!!!

@happypat no its pumpkin, Pat! There is more chance of a hedgehog getting across the road alive than John agreeing to a photo!

You are correct There is nothing quite like a chicken dinner. Good for you to make enough for leftovers.

I'm looking at this at dinner time. Now I'm ravenous. But I don't have time or energy to make something like this gourmet and delicious, beautiful meal! I'm glad you played the piano! I find that on days when I'm stressed, if I can sit and play for just 1/2 hour, I can face reality again!

yummy food shot
are you in sydney yet? ,u beach photo from a few days ago was taken at Wanda beach, just a bit north of Cronulla. Not sure where you'll be so can't advise if it is close to you or not

@smellychelli Its all in the planning, Michelle! I like to cook quite a lot at one time so there is plenty for the following days with no effort at all! You do feel as if you are creating something at the piano, don't you? Its like 365!

@abhijit In Sydney, Thurs night! Staying at the Shangrila la la! Near The Rocks. But we will be exploring from the Monday through the week!

@yonnie There isn't much sheet music that is free online nowdays - they get your money somewhere along the line!
July 30th, 2013  
@maggiemae It is one I had in a book I purchased some years ago, so I didn't feel the least bit guilty downloading it for "free" ; )
July 30th, 2013  
Wow! That's cookbook quality!
July 30th, 2013  
Yum yum !
July 30th, 2013  
Very nice picture! You must be quite a good cook as it looks as if it was presented at a restaurant!
July 30th, 2013  
Definitely a delicious meal
July 30th, 2013  
Delicious plate. Garlic there sounds good.

Deb
Great presentation! You had me at garlic :D
July 30th, 2013  
@deburahiru @bardejov My favourite too - I put in about 10 cloves and they are so sweet and rich and just pop out of their skins!

Looks so good that I can almost smell the roasting garlic!

Yummy photo, Maggiemae. Looks so good. Love your three things. My son plays his guitar to relax. I love music and so glad that you enjoy the piano to relax.
July 31st, 2013  
mmmm....sounds like a great music. I have not reached the point in piano where it is overly relaxing to sit and play! plonk...plonk....plonk!
