Luc told me when he went out east this summer that he saw something called “Vermont Chicken” on menus... which is basically maple syrup sauced bird. I spatchcocked one, and turned the neck and backbone into quick stock while it finishes in the oven. Another @epicurious recipe, with the maple syrup, black peppercorns and cider vinegar. Luc already wants leftovers for lunch and it’s not done cooking yet! #weekending #sundaychicken #castironcooking #number12iron #griswold

This was supposed to be a riff on @the_bojon_gourmet ‘s peach tart (it’s almond and pear), but I realized after I slid it into the oven I forgot to add the brown butter to the custard! So I drizzled a few tablespoons over the top and hoped for the best. I’m declaring success. And I used my extra butter to cook a chicken. Sunday success. #weekending #bake #tart #glutenfree #pear #almond

You’d have to pry my asbestos flooring tile from my cold, dead hands... 😍 I hope the rosemary likes it as much as I do! #houseplants #asbestostile #midcentury #rosemary #weekending

Probably too much salad just for me. #aloneagainnaturally #saladdays #friday @epicurious inspired #delacata squash, my #sourdough that I froze a few slices of last week specifically for just this recipe, garden #thyme , the best #feta cheese ever (the @traderjoes Israeli one) and king of all bitter things: #radicchio . 👌🏼

After a couple of years, I can really see how little time I have for cooking. Assembly meals, nothing complicated. Lots and lots (and lots) of leftovers. I’m pretty good about pushing it back, trying to feel like it doesn’t matter but it’s just not the case. There is no real veg on this plate. I’ve planned tuna sandwiches for dinner (with a salad, but still). I miss my days in the kitchen. This season, as it wears on, becomes a different type of trial. A downright struggle to remain the person I was. #lunch #lunchable #putaneggonit #salsaverde #cornbread
