Third time's the charm

You can probably tell that I'm very excited to have a blog now. Twice a day! My oh my. That won't last I'm sure...

I had a little cooking adventure this evening--not a new recipe, but one I'm trying to perfect because it'll be worth it when I do. It's a chicken recipe, by the beloved Gordon Ramsey. Here's the link to the video if you're interested:

Now I do have to warn you that he makes it look very easy to cut the top off the drumsticks--BEWARE, this may result in personal injury if the knife isn't sharp. Mind you, it may also result in injury with a sharp knife. The idea behind this, as Gordon outlines, is that it "helps the chicken cook SO much quicka" ;)

I made a few changes of my own to this recipe, and they're a definite improvement since the first attempt.   My take home message: if it isn't great the first time, give it another try! The key for me was to taste the sauce before serving, and make sure there was enough honey to counterbalance the sourness of the lemon.

 
Rather tasty, I'd say!

Finally, just a photo to warm your heart before you say good night. I call this one "Cat in a bag".
