young chicken

pretty flowers
This is my happy dining room table centerpiece right now. I bought them at the farmer's market this weekend for $2 or something and I think they're beautiful. They help brighten my mood when I've just ruined something called a "young chicken" that was supposed to be a delicious and simple chicken roast and wound up eating peanut butter toast and yogurt with a bubbling burn on my hand that I got while removing said burned chicken from the oven only to realize that it was as disgusting as I thought it might be. There were tears. Don't go shopping at Whole Foods to pick something up quickly when you're on the phone. You wind up coming home with "young chickens". Who on earth knew that the age of a chicken made a difference to its roasting abilities?? Gross me out all over the place.

    LOL! Laurel, you crack me up! I leave all the young chickens to the hubby, I'll keep those boneless, skinless breasts thank you very much...And you're right, I go to Fresh Market on the phone and come home with things like rhubarb and bags of candy...not such a good dinner...

    haha - I'm glad you understand, love! I did come home with something called "green bean chips" on this same trip and that was most definitely a win. Those things are fantastic! I'm not afraid to admit that I ate the entire container...maybe on the ride home from the store. Awesome.

    I love that you used the flowers to post about "young chickens." I've ruined many a meal in my day and am sure to ruin many more!

    One time, I tried to make pumpkin pancakes and it ended quite similarly. On the upside, your flowers are beautiful and your loft is, in all ways, perfect.
