Day 71 of our captivity: Back yard holiday

Today we pretended to be on vacation.  Given that it was over 90, I decided to make dinner outside.  I had a plethora of high-end ingredients on hand, so we decided to pretend we were vacationing in France.

Fancy organic chicken butterflied and cooked on the grill sandwiched between two cast iron skillets with herbs de Provence—sort of a riff on “chicken cooked under a brick”.  It was beautiful...and yummy.

The rendered chicken fat was then deglazed and distributed between the two pans so I could cook the chard+leeks from the veg box and the lightly floured model mushrooms from the farmer’s market.

I sliced up some leftover olive sourdough, made a green salad, and served it all up with a bottle of rose.  Instant backyard vacation.
