A lovely weekend
I had quite a big day on Saturday. A lovely barbecue, a great kick of the AFL ball, and overall an awesome time in the park. After that we headed to a few pubs and then out for some bowling.
Some mixed rice paper rolls from EDR
These bread rolls were absofruitly spectacular. Sausages took ages to cook though! Petersham park BBQ: 4/10
Wow!
The photo booth was out of order, but someone had a camera!After the big night of bowling on Saturday I ended up deciding to take Sunday fairly chill. I went to the AFLW game with a few mates, where the Swans beat Essendon. After that we headed down to the pub for a beer, and some mates split a veggie roast.
After seeing their roast and wanting a piece for myself I decided to make a roast chicken for dinner. I went to Aldi, bought some potatoes, brocollini and a chicken.
Back home I spatchcocked the chicken, patted the skin dry a bit, then marinated it with some olive oil, dried rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and lime juice (didn’t have any lemons on hand).
I peeled, quartered and boiled some potatoes, then tossed them in a sieve to get the outsides a bit fluffy. I chucked them in a baking tray with a bit of salt and oil, put the chicken on top, and roasted for around an hour, taking the chicken out to rest at around 50 minutes.
I charred up the broccolini on my carbon steel pan that was definitely too small, while my dad made some gravy with the drippings from the roast.
Gorgeous day at the game
Chicken is coming along well!
Pulled the potatoes out
And served!What a great last weekend before I go away!
