ive been meaning to upload this photo of sarah's cooking from a really long time ago :) mentaiko pasta, her famous chawanmushi and i believe we had lamb with mashed potatoes too!
more recently i was itching to cook so once again my usual suspects were my guinea pigs....
on the menu was beer can chicken my first time ever making it blind too! roasted potatoes which i finally managed to fix... but i cldnt find my stash of goose fat :( creamed spinach and since i had left over pesto lying arnd, a quick pesto pasta
lets see... i just found out from a friend that instead of me consuming the remaining half can of beer, next time i can let it marinate for a bit (esp if i plan ahead of time but this round was very impromptu) this time since i was unable to find rosemary at the supermarket, i dry rubbed it with a combination of brown sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic salt and paprika basically whatever i had lying arnd at home. in the half filled can, i added cloves, bay leaves and crushed garlic just for some aroma

the bird standing with a can shoved up its butt... i kinda feel bad for it. see the skin sagging? it was filled with yummy butter
fully cooked :)
i have to say im really happy with how the chicken turned out esp coz it's my first time ever roasting a full chicken

a PG version of the chicken.... looking a little more presentable
dinner! with wine cheese and chips courtesy of sinclair
i was sure i had overcooked as always for the original 3 of us but lucky thing sinclair came back ravenous too so we managed to finish everything up which was great! it was such a simple yet filling meal. need to figure out more dishes like this
