friday january 29th

i made a mediterraneanish chicken thing and it actually SUCKED. i know im not the best cook but it is rare that im unhappy with something i've made.



i seared an organicfreerunsuperhappychicken dusted with dried oregano, garlic powder and cracked pepper. it turned a beautiful colour. i was happy. we were happy. things were going great. then i decided to deglaze w/an entire half of a lemon. idiot. i added some chicken stock, onions, cremini mushrooms, green olives and capers to the pan. at the end i added broccoli and tarragon. WHAT THE FUCK, ERIN. whenever i have fresh herbs i get so stoked i use them in everything, regardless if it makes sense.

im one of those annoying ppl who try not to eat toooooooooooooooo many carbs, so i resisted the urge to do a pasta or rice or potato and made a bean thing for the chicken to sit on instead. a mixture of beans (kidney, chickpeas, navy, ???), oregano, garlic, onion, and tomato paste. it was good. but boring. i grated parmesan over the whole mess.



i wanted to broil it for a second in the oven but...didnt.

let's never discuss this again.
