French Fridays with Dorie: M. Jacques Armagnac Chicken

Hello!!! This is my first recipe with FFwD and I am so excited! The chicken turned out wonderful and the smells coming from the kitchen.... oh, my, I was drooling! I really enjoyed this recipe, the prep work was fast and easy (my kind of meal) and my husband enjoyed it too!



Before Chicken (totally forgot the bay leaf)





Just before roasting

Yum!!!











Current obsession

Seriously, where has 'Words with Friends' been hiding all my life?!

Love this game!

Picture test

OK, tomorrow is my first French Fridays with Dorie recipe and I am so excited! But, I have never posted a picture in a blog post, so I am going to do a practice one. Here is a great picture of the bucket from Tower Ladder Truck that I ride at work:

Yay, it worked!!! Awesome, I am now sorta confident in my ability to insert pics tomorrow!

Grocery Stores and other things

I heart the Giant by my house. It is super close and hardly ever crowded. Today was an interesting shopping day, found the yummy ingredients for this weeks FFwD recipe and stocked up on the usual stuff. What makes it interesting is answering the question, "But, why?" every 10 seconds. That is my son's favorite phrase. So, imagine walking down the aisle answering, "But, why?" to everything from the food on the shelves to what the intercom is saying to why the favorite Mickey doll can't be dragged on the floor... the store employees are very tolerant, because there is no such thing as a quiet grocery trip!

Apparently the local liquor store does not differentiate between Armagnac and other Cognac, the believe that they are one and the same. There was no Armagnac to be found for Friday's recipe, so I got a nice French Cognac and will hope for the best!
