    Ah, April 15th....the day taxes are due to be filed
    here in the US of A. I filed my taxes asap since I
    would be opening up my wallet to receive and not give.
    But this is a day we are reminded of just how much
    we're turning over to the government and just where
    it's going. In 1928 during the campaign for Herbert
    Hoover, "a chicken in every pot and a car in every
    garage" was promised by the his campaign. Oh my, how
    times have changed, or not.

    The Great Depression of 1929 soon followed. Being
    optimistic, we want comfort food. I made my chicken
    and felt lucky to have it as this tax day came. The
    spring weather has brightened up my herbs growing
    outside, so I added some fresh thyme, purple sage,
    and rosemary to my chicken. I tuck these underneath
    the skin along with some lemon slices and garlic, so
    that they slowly flavor the chicken as it roasts.

    Adding potatoes, carrots and onions to the roasting
    pan just brings it all back home.

    Take a free range, organic chicken and rub 2 lg cloves
    of garlic that have been put through a garlic press
    under the breast skin. Then stuff a small handful of
    fresh thyme, sage, rosemary, and 2 lemon slices under
    the skin.

    Add some cut up vegetables of your choice alongside
    the chicken. A fresh grinding of pepper and a sprinkle
    of sea salt make it ready to roast at 350.F/175.C, for
    about one and a half hours, or until the legs jiggle
    freely (no jokes here!).

    Stir the vegetables often while roasting so they don't
    get too crisp on one side. Serve a lemon slice and some
    fresh herbs with each portion and enjoy your Chicken in
    Every Pot

    The Car in Your Garage is on you!
