A perfect roasted chicken is a fine thing, especially compared to the 5 buck Costco. This Ina Garten's signature simple recipe: the cavity filled with whole cut lemon, thyme and garlic cloves, slathered with butter then roasted in a very hot oven. Yes, Stovetop stuffing embarrassing aside a nice chicken. But good.
We're going downtown this afternoon to attend a free Seattle Symphony open rehearsal. Our new music director, Xian Zhang, started her position in September and we'll get to see her in action in front of the orchestra.
Open rehearsals are interesting, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Although you wonder if the rehearsal vibe is the same when the conductor is being observed by a live audience. We went to one once before, and it was frustrating because we could only hear the conductor mumble. Hopefully Xian will be miked this time.
More later.
