And it smells delicious. Timmy Tee is fighting a cold, and I had a weird almost-fainting spell whilst bicycling this afternoon, so we need some comfort food. I’m using a recipe I got from Real Simple years ago. You basically cut up 2 lemons and 1/2 a head of garlic, shove it into the chicken’s innards, rub down the whole thing with olive oil, salt and pepper the hell of out it, and then toss it in the oven. It’s super easy, and the skin turns out crispy and delicious. I’m surprised no one has tried to sell oiled and baked chicken skin by the bag.
It’s been another excellent weekend in the Longoria household. Tim and I haven’t seen much of each other, since I was in NYC last weekend and in Lakeville Wed – Thursday, and Tim was doing trips the other nights. So on Saturday Tim drove me to Iowa City where I had lunch with a friend I hadn’t seen forever (ate tapas for the first time ever at Devotay), and then we did a little shopping at Coral Ridge. Tim found 3 pairs of chinos at Banana Republic for $7 to $20! I didn’t find much, but it was so nice just hanging out with Tim, spending time together, laughing together, drinking strawberry smoothies together.
We made it back to Dport in time to feed the dee oh gee and then headed to Biaggis for our favorite meal combo – messina salad and chicken piccante pizza. It was delicious. The crowd in the joint was pretty interesting – it was full of a bunch of elderly folk and teenagers. Apparently it was some school’s homecoming, so the place was chock-full of high heels, tans, and awkward hair cuts. I wonder if we were that annoying at that age?
Today after reading the morning news, we headed out for bike ride. I don’t know if it was the 3 cups of coffee or the cold wind on my hot face, but once we reached Emeis Park, I felt really not good. I had to lay down for about 10 minutes while I decided if I was going to throw up or pass out or both. I didn’t do either, fortunately. I was able to bike home, albeit at a much slower pace. It was really weird. I hate it that my body is so temperature sensitive. It makes me panic in situations where I get too warm. Pass Out City, man.
Anyway, it was a great weekend – exactly what I needed after a stressful week of work. Now, only five more days before the weekend comes again…
