Greetings from the sad, sad land where the Patriots are no longer in contention for the Super Bowl.
It's been a culinary weekend here at Scout Camp, starting with marinated steaks, lemon mousse, and roasted butternut squash. Unfortunately I cannot write about any of those things since none of them are part of The Great Experiment, but let me assure you that they were very, very good.
This weekend's Nigella (semi-)triumph was the African Drumsticks, which are essentially just marinated chicken legs. However, the marinade was delicious; Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, apricot jam, ginger and some onion (chopped with gratifying efficiency in my sexy new chopper).
The recipe indicates that the chicken can marinate overnight, so we let it do just that, and it came out perfectly-- totally succulent and flavorful. In fact, the only criticism we both had was that it could have used a little more spice. Will have to try to remember that for the next round.
And apologies to Lady Liberty. We were so busy devouring, the idea of photography was completely lost.
Oh, and thanks to Boy Scout, who is dutifully cleaning up the mayhem I left in my wake while I write this entry.
Happy MLK Day!
