sakon76Dinner: coq au vin. I love this because it was one of those rare cases where I was able to throw something together completely on the fly and have it work. Two thawed pieces of chicken, the last of the cooking wine I keep in the fridge, a can of chicken broth, some chopped carrots, shallots, and mushrooms, and some thyme and oregano from the garden. Voila, dinner in a hour or less.
I'm going to miss having a working herb garden right outside the kitchen door for the next few months... I'm planning on planting some in the front bed along the garage at the new house, but it'll take them a while to get established and that's not quite as convenient a location. Still, Wonderful Husband has promised me I'll have garden beds in the side yard come April. I'll survive until then. And some of them are in pots anyway, so that works. One of the two thyme plants in the ground here, however, seems to be on its way out, as it's much more branches than leaves at this point.
