This morning, yet another fabulous sunrise.

I made roast chicken last night. I don’t make this nearly often enough considering how much I like it and how easy it is. My recipe is simplicity itself: take out the inner bits of a whole chicken and put them down the disposal, rinse chicken with water, stuff which a peeled and quartered onion, put on the jelly roll pan, and bake in the oven for 350 degrees according to the poultry chart in my Good Housekeeping cookbook. A four pound chicken takes 1.5 to 1.75 hours to cook.

The onion keeps the chicken breast, my favorite part, from drying out. Jack and I are a good fit: he likes the dark meat and I like the white meat.
