I don't know if we'll have enough time

For Christmas, Josh bought me the book "Fifty Shades of Chicken".  It's a parody of the book "Fifty Shades of Chicken", which I have not read but I found the idea of the book hilarious, especially after I saw the trailer below.  I think that is Patrick Stewart talking


I decided to try my first recipe "Chicken with a Lardon"  which is a whole roast chicken with paprika, orange zest and covered in bacon.

To roast my first chicken, I needed a roasting pan.  Off to Bed Bath & Beyond!  I found myself a pretty red roasting pan and headed back to the car.  There was a man standing outside, and I noticed that a couple of preteen girls were staring at him.  I looked, he was wearing a leather jacket and some weird, shiny pants.  I didn't think too much about it, until I backed out of my parking spot and saw the guy walking toward the parking lot.  He wasn't wearing shiny pants.  He was wearing nylons, and a tiger print thong!

This picture isn't super clear, but you can tell whats going on - it wasn't a long leather jacket.  And, in retrospect, the lack of clarity is not a bad thing.  Who is this man and what kind of life does he lead that on a Tuesday, at 3:30 in the afternoon, this is appropriate mall attire?  I consider myself fairly liberal and open to different lifestyles, but I found myself severely distressed and feeling oddly conservative about the whole thing.  A drag show, a Lady Gaga concert, or a club (all of which I've attended) are appropriate venues for this ensemble, not the SuperMall parking lot.

I didn't realize the humor in this until just now.  I went to the Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a roasting pan for making "Chicken with a Lardon", from a Fifty Shades parody cookbook, and saw a man wearing a leather jacket, a tiger print thong, and nylons.

Naturally, as soon as I left the parking lot I called Belle and left her a long message detailing the experience.  I got home and tested out my new roasting pan to make sure it fit in the oven, it didn't fit!  That means I have to go back to Bed Bath & Beyond, oh dear.

In spite of the setbacks, the chicken was delicious, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!

Not bad huh?
