Adventures of a Garlic Lover

if I ever have my own food program it will be named "Adventures of a Garlic Lover". I just adore garlic, the more the merrier. I made dinner yesterday, Garlic and Rosemary Chicken with Jamie Potatoes, I used about half a garlic in the entire thing. But at the same time I like to keep it fairly simple, only a few tastes at a time. The chicken for example, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, salt, and olive oil, and that is it.

Garlic and Rosemary Chicken
(My variation of a Jamie Oliver style chicken)
You need:
Chicken (I use leg, but you can use only breast or a whole chicken)
Rosemary
Thyme
Garlic
Salt
Whole black pepper
Olive oil (I use extra virgin )

First you crush the whole black pepper in a mortar and pestle, add in the rosemary and the thyme and crush a bit more. Then you add in garlic, loads of it, mush that as well and stir in some oil until it has a nice consistency. Use your hand and make a pocket between the skin and meat of the chicken and put some of the garlic mixture in. Drizzle salt and oil over and leave to set for 15-20 minutes. I roasted mine on top of the potatoes, but you can roast them on their own. 1-1.5 hour at 200 degrees C (392 F, 473 K).

Jamie Potatos:
(My mom and I playing with another Jamie style potatos)
You need:
Potatos (washed or peeled)
Oilve Oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Thyme

Peel/wash potatos and then cut into quarters. Add on seasoning, garlic and oil. Mix a bit. Roast on 200 degrees C for 1.5-2 hours)


On another subjects:
I have been watching PotC:DMC, I love Jack Sparrow. I want a pirate, I want a ship...
Sewing: I have made a skirt, will finish my corset today and hopefully work on the dress, gamerson, pants, and shirt tomorrow.
LARP: Bjørn Are adn I decided to prostpone the vampire oneshot, since it seems like we would be 4 people (Baba and myself included).
