We stuck with poultry and prepared Apple Glazed Cornish Hens.

Week 03

I need to leave for work in a few minutes, so I'll be brief.

Ben says the glaze was either to sweet or too lemony. I kind of wish we'd let the chicken sit in it overnight. I couldn't get enough of it. Either way, they were juicy birds. Also, next time we must remember to prepare some rice or stuffing.

From now on, it'd probably be a good idea to pick a recipe by Tuesday, do the shopping on Wednesday, and the actual cooking on Thursday. The first time we did this, we didn't wind up eating dinner 'til 11. This time, we got it down to 10:30. Ben gets home around 6:30-ish at best, we don't leave to shop 'til almost 7 and we start preparing at 8. We could at least shave an hour off that if we shop in advance. We probably would have shaved off two hours if we didn't have to defrost the hens, tonight, also. Alas, our lack of forethought.

Or perhaps we ought to try something that doesn't require an hour or so of baking. :P

Nonetheless, week three has come and gone with no fires, yet. So far, so good. ;)
