A recipe & my favorite walk
1- The recipe:
Petit Poulet aux Légumes
or
Little Chicken with vegetables
for 2 people or 1 with left overs!
Once I coated the pan with olive oil, I golden the salted and peppered chicken on both sides
I reserve the chicken on a plate before sautéing 3 slices of bacon, 1 small onion, 1 carrot, 1 small turnip, 4 green onions, 1 russet potato. The choice of vegetables was instructed by I had in my fridge. Really other things can be added like olives, celery, parsnip…even cabbage. Add one glass of white wine.
The chicken returns on top of the veggies…
and goes into a preheated over (350º). I have a very convenient pan, I can remove the handle (merci Joseph & Yoori!)
Covered with the lid and I let it be for 20/25 minutes
I removed the lid and let the skin brown (in the oven) for a few minutes
Voilà! Mon Petit Poulet aux Légumes is ready.
I fed myself two delicious dinners.
The second day even better than the first. The potatoes have come a little apart and thicken the sauce.
2-My Favorite Walk
Along the Verrazano Narrows see pictures & map below:
Back to Sunday March 3 2008
Sunday March 2 2008 I went to pick up a piece of my art work that was part of the show Generation 6 at the A.I.R Gallery in Chelsea NYC. Pick up hours were 8-11 am. The day was bright, a little chilly but beautiful, so I decided to get there early (9am) by subway and to walk back via the Brooklyn Bridge to then meet my friend Douglas for brunch in Park Slope. We had brunch at a small Oaxacan Mexican (the highlight was the chipotle chili hot cocoa) and then off to the Park Slope Food Coop –where I am one of the 14000 members– for my food shopping.
Below the map of the walk and you can listen to the song I wrote on the Brooklyn Bridge on my Myspace
Test ride on Friday
Got to my yoga class & food coop run biking today. I thought it was spring, well not quite! but managed to beat the rain.
