Day 25 - Chicken Leg Quarters -- Heaven!

Chicken Legs Braised with Tomatoes, Onions and Garlic (pg. 133)
Red-Leaf Lettuce with My Favorite Vinaigrette

I've never braised before. Heck, I didn't even know what braising was. I braised 5 of what they call "leg quarters", which is drumsticks with thighs attached. I think. Or something. I also added a few carrots to the braise since I only made the braise and a plain salad for dinner. Well, the legs and their veggies were just heaven. Alice has you goof around a bit more with the juices at the end of cooking, which I did not do. It was still heaven. Now I have to think of something to do with the leftover juices. Soup?

Otherwise I had a lazy Sunday morning with the newspaper and the leftovers from last night's Indian dinner. I spent the first part of the afternoon whipping my studio into shape. It has a very long ways to go to be done, but I did manage to put a major dent in the huge pile. The space looks considerably more civilized now.

After dinner we took out the garbage and clipped cat claws. What a romantic life.
