Why oh why Charlie, do they think in the exact opposite way that you think they might. Its on the bench thawing…..I know ill put it back in the freezer!. Sadly this would probably happen here too. Lucky the shops are close to you

What a beautiful roast chicken! Just started doing the butterfly cut for roast chicken a few years back and I love it! Seems to make the cooking process easier and faster. Bobby loves roasting them on the grill which is fine with me. The dijon mix pressed under the skin sounds wonderful! Great save! I did have to go back and find out where the lamb ended up. Well, Arabella meant well. 🙂

That must be extremely frustrating, but when in doubt stuff a bird with herbs and let the magic happen!!

lol, retracting your offer… oh dear! I don’t think I’ve had to do that before… still, at least it was your parents and not someone who might judge you for such a mishap! Glad to see you were all able to eat well that night anyway, without having to resort to such things as takeaway pizza!

I would have a chicken like that any day, as much as I love lamb.
Every time I read your stories I dread the late teen age years that are coming up… You are so relaxed about everything. How DO you do it?

When it’s all said and done, it’s mighty hard to beat a roast chicken with herbs! I love the way you flattened yours and I imagine that makes it cook more quickly?

That looks like a great meal – and food is food and as long as the company is happy and fed, what does it really matter? Sometimes I think all this worrying about food is bad for our mental health to be honest. These things happen to me all the time. In fact working out what should come out of the freezer when and then we change our plans and have to cook stuff and put it back in the freezer as cooked meals… anyway I am sure you are more organized than me. And the leg of lamb will re-appear one day and be a star meal for a gathering !

This chicken looks delicious! Butter, mustard and herbs — sounds like a winning dish to me. And teenager help is sub-par made me giggle. 🙂 I just love your stories Charlie.

Oh my goodness! I would have had kittens if this happened to me (my mother’s favorite saying, haha!). Good thing you figured something out. This chicken does look very delicious indeed 😀
