Larry made dinner for me tonight since I’ve had my head in a book, studying for a professional certification. I hinted that this sounded good (by leaving the cookbook open to the recipe!). And it was. I thought it might be odd, braising chicken in oil, but it was good and not greasy at all. The garlic and shallots were really good too.

• Chicken in Garlic & Shallots (I’m Just Here for the Food, p. 125)
• Smashed Potatoes
• Butter Lettuce and Radiccio with Tomatoes & Lemon Poppyseed Dressing (Fine Cooking #51, July 2002, p. 48)
