Chickeeeeen

My first roasted chicken!  Kavan and I decided to sign up for a meat csa this summer, and once a month we pick up 10 pounds of beef/chicken from one of the local farms. This month we got a whole roaster chicken, which kind of scared me since i'd never made one.  Looking back on last thanksgiving, however, reminded me that brining a turkey before roasting made it very juicy.  If I could roast a turkey, I could surely roast a chicken!  I found a recipe for a citrus rosemary brine and soaked it overnight.  Not only did it turn out picture perfect (if I must say) it was also deeelish.  I'm excited to try out a different recipe next month.

Simon's New Harness

I'm going to try the impossible and teach Simon how to walk on a leash. Of course, if he's going to be strutting his stuff for the neighborhood, he has to do it in style.  I found a nice lady on etsy who sews harnesses and she made me one from this baseball pattern with a matching leash! We'll see if it was worth it in a few weeks hehe
