Claire
Master Chef
OK, I'm now officially insane. My neighbor wanted to throw a small dinner party. There will be only 5 or 6 of us. Her husband just became a vegetarian, her daughter is a vegan, her soon-to-be son-in-law is in this not cooking the food movement (don't ask me, that escapes me), and she said she has a taste for meat. What she wanted to do was a roast chicken, but the recipe she showed me was incredibly complicated. She wanted me to make rice. I HATE cooking rice, especially for more than just the two of us. Well, long to short, I told her I'd roast the damned chicken, as long as I don't have to cook rice. So, I'm roasting a chicken for a party at my neighbor's house (but not making the rice!).
