The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    Slow Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken from Nigella Lawson's wonderful book Forever Summer

    Instead of using the cut up chicken recommended, I used 8 bone in, skin on chicken thighs. Chicken thighs are great for slow cooking--the dark meat will not dry out the way breast meat does sometimes--and they are perfectly sized for serving. They go on sale a lot and I try to keep a package or two in the fridge at all times.

    I also added 2 instead of 1 heads of garlic. Have I mentioned the Man and garlic before?

    The Man of the House likes garlic.

    I mean he really, really likes garlic.

    He really, really, really, LIKES garlic.

    He LIKES  it cooked, but he LOVES it raw.

    Unfortunately for him (but perhaps fortunately for the rest of us) breathing raw garlic fumes is socially acceptable during working hours. So Friday night, out comes the garlic. And come Saturday morning, open the door of our house, and it's like being in an Italian restaurant.....

    I love garlic too, but it has to be cooked, and in this recipe the garlic gets wonderfully sweet.

    We served it with rice to spoon the juices onto and it was wonderful. Definitely one I'll be making again.
