 Pasta - Pasta Sauce - Roasting.
Today marks the end of a beautiful four-day weekend. It started out a bit rainy last Wednesday evening. It turned out to be sunny and gorgeous. For lunch, I pulled out some leftover rice and decided to make fried rice. I diced carrot, celery, and onion. In a non-stick frying pan, I heated some

 Chicken - Roasting.
Okay, you’re probably thinking that I’m trying to copy Julie. Not a chance. I’ve made roasted chicken dozens of times and feel as though I have a strong grasp. I also won’t cheat on my partner as she allegedly (don’t want to get sued!) did. Tonight’s chicken was made, for the first time, in
