Jesus!

O.k I tried something new tonight. I roasted some pumpkin with the roast potatoes and roasted carrots. Very nice.

Never tried pumpkin but I have roasted some butternut squash before with a roast dinner.

Here is mine tonight, bit of a mess but I was starving

**The Fresh Prince** · 18-11-2012, 08:49 PM

Stuffing!! I knew I forgot something.

Looks nice and I like the square rice.

It reminded me of a little Thai place near me that serves teddy bear shaped rice.

I was gonna comment, but held back.

Hey- the square suff is more expensive.

She saw me getting ready to take a pic and made me wait until she set up the rice- after that I dumped everything into a big bowl (which she hates, and always says I eat like a monk

).

That sounds really yummy. Can you tell me how you did your roast chicken? It looks sooooo good.

**nigelandjan** · 18-11-2012, 10:11 PM

Your roast chicken serving looks good Satnav mate

Lovely drop of the old stuffing on there to .

Do you do those arty farty carrots ? or is that bit courtesy of your better half ?

Its a close run thing tonight IMO between you and FS ,, although had to give him the green as you've had too many off me lately ( apparently )

My pathetic efforts will be along later as I am eating alone again tonight ,, gonna be use up time before we go on hol,,I aint gonna be pretty !

I just use one of these to take the skin off

then slice.

I always roast my chicken not on a rack but on a bed of chopped onion, garlic and carrot. The juices drip down and flavour the veges and make a lovely base for the gravy. I also stick a lemon inside the chicken's cavity.

Surprised you didn't throw a bay leaf into that mix.
Works well with the roasting varieties.

Well done!

I used my new rib cooking method.

Gave the chicken a rub down with olive oil, black pepper, sea salt, thyme, rosemary & garlic.

Then poured some chicken stock in a baking pan with a metal rack. Added some halfed onions & garlic cloves.

Poked loads of holes in an orange with a knife and shoved it where the sun don't shine along with some more garlic and tied the legs up.

Then into the oven at 200º for 1 hour and 20 mins. Basting the chicken every 15 mins with the juices.

When there was 45 mins left to go I started my roast potatoes, pumpkin and carrots in another baking tray but it didn't all fit so I put the extra's in with the chicken.

When it was all done I gave it 20 mins to rest and used the juices to make the gravy and did the steamed veg at the same time.

Did you take them pics just incase someone asked then FP

Looks lovely mate, I normally start off with my oven at 250. Whack the chicken in for 10 mins then turn down to 180 for another 1h10/1h20 depending on size. Crisps the skin up well. I use the same rub into the skin but I also add some paprika.

Let's see if we are cooking the same dinner tomo 555

Looks like we are then

**natalie8** · 18-11-2012, 11:45 PM

Thanks for the recipes. Wow, FP, you're quite the chef / artiste. I would lean a bit more towards yours, Satonic because I like the chopped onions and stuff in the bottom of the tray.

FP, I like the idea of the orange and the pumpkin and I like your rack.

Greens to both of you if I can.

**Dillinger** · 19-11-2012, 12:43 AM

^i must say also,if i was to pick a whore in the bedroom, a cook in the kitchen and a maid for around the house, and i had to let them know discreetly by virtue of Xmas pressies

Nige would get marigolds,feather duster, fairy liquid, 24 heavy duty binliners, size 12-clown socks and a Keep on truckin fridge magnet..
Satonic the pots ,pans, kenwood chef, george foreman grill, electric knife , spice rack, blender and apron with tits and fanny.

Is it too early in our relationship to tell you I love you?

**natalie8** · 19-11-2012, 01:34 AM

Well it looks like you won your way to Dillinger's heart through his stomach.

Ah ! Rich English people going abroad in winter. Those leeks will clear you out for sure. Only have them in beef broth myself.
