Cheap Gas and Chicken

This is the cheapest gas I've seen in a while. Pay at the pump fried chicken is a good idea too.

I didn't have any champagne flutes, so we used the completely wrong glass - martini glasses.

Chicken Masala (4 of 5)

Cooking the sauce (simmer for 20 min, add the chicken, simmer another 10 min). It’s 4 teaspoons of garam masala, 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The small pot is full of Jasmine rice.

Chicken Masala (1 of 5)

We are cooking Chicken Masala tonight. Here is the cubed chicken and the marinade. We used 1 cup plain yogurt, 3 teaspoons of garam masala, 2 teaspoons of coarse black pepper, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice from our lime tree (we forgot to buy lemon juice at the store). Lisa doesn't like spicy stuff, so we left out the cayenne pepper (although it was still spicy).

She suggested I take a picture of the lawn I raked, though it's not that stellar looking through the screens on the windows.

As I raked up the leaves, I noted how the lawn would die if she let me leave the patches of leaves she instructed me to. She made a heartless comment about her plans for the poor innocent lawn.

"Red" the backyard chicken

We just moved to a new house and are closing on the old house this week. Thoughts of the old house took me to the time we bought chickens and had them in our backyard. Not sure why, and I promise I was not the one who bought them. I can't remember their names. But they were good looking birds. And tasty too! UPDATE: The chicken's names were Red and ?? UPDATE2: The chicken's names were Red and Bella per comments.

Cuckoo Marans

Marans is plural and singular for this breed named after their French town of origin. The Cuckoo refers to the black and white barred coloring. In this breed, the roosters are much lighter in color than the hens. That comes in handy early on! The larger, light colored chicken is my rooster Boots (because he has fluffy feathers on his legs)
