My View of Life on the Dock
Lately the Mrs has been buying chickens and roasting them. She said she paid something like $6 for this beauty and we will end up feeding the family twice on it. I’m not sure how she cooked it other than she stuffed a couple lemons up it’s coochie and roasted it with onions and herbs. It was tender and juicy and delish. Then she made a reduction of the juices and made a gravy, yum!

The Mrs picked fell in love with this painting of Appleton Farms. As many of you regular readers know we have a share at the Farm and she goes every week with The Bean and Snoop Mad. This painting had been hanging in the “share room” and from what she tells me she had admired it every time she saw it.
About five years back while on vacation in Naples, we saw a painting that struck both of us. We didn’t buy it and have gone into the gallery every year since in search of it but its not there.
So when she told me about this particular painting and how much she loved it I told her I’d get it for her for her Christmas present.
So now you know what’s hanging over the mantle.

The Mrs made some delicious cranberry chutney and put it over a pork tenderloin. Pork tenderloins are cheap and the Mrs said this chutney was really easy to make.

This week I provided the lobsters and the Mrs provided the preparation. Yum!
Think about this- stormy weekend, football on the tube, lobster rolls, and some hand picked out wine from my trusted wine aficionado advisor Toby Pett. Sounds about perfect to me.

Why question what we already know? The Mrs makes the best damn lobster rolls in the planet, DUH!
Who ever heard of Garlic Scape? Not me until the Mrs came home from the farm with a bunch to make garlic scape pesto.
Apparently they cut the to stems off the garlic which is called garlic scape in June so the garlic will continue to grow. She’s going to get some French bread and cut it and toast it so we can spread the garlic scape pesto on it.
