Well I just took the spatchcocked chicken out of the oven ; cut it into 2
portions bagged it and put directly in the fridge...seems I won't be
eating tonight so sayeth my tummie. On the improve my appetite front
(curse you nanners!) my Lidia's Italian Table cookbook came in today's
mail. So that should help make me want to eat later. Plus I now have
something to read (Yay!!Entertainment)...hope the book doesn't damage my
nose when I fall asleep reading it.
