overtime

Summer is a state of mind.  Although a roast chicken is on deck and the talking meatheads of  football are on the tube, I haven’t put the blender away just yet.    There is no way to fully remove the threat of Monday from invading my Sunday but roasting a chicken is a good defense.  A backfield of sliced onions(4), carrots, olive oil and herbs keep the upside-down bird company in a hot oven(450°)  for the first quarter.  Flip it for the second quarter(425°) and let it play out the second half(350)°.  The onions are key players.  Summer is not over, time to go poolside.
