the moderate epicurean

a quest for measured pleasure...

La, la, lovely! Oh, Spring, sigh. After I showered, I gave myself a spritz of Frederic Malle En Passant (lilac, heavenly scent) and a dab of Christian Dior Diorissimo (the classic, lily of the valley, also heavenly). Nothing over the top, but I do smell girlie and like spring, sitting here in my office. As Suz would say, NICE.

And I'll get to hear her say it aplenty tonight...And Kim say "fo sho", which sends me into fits of giggles every time I hear it... Feminine Hijinx (come hang out at their pad!), Feminine Hijinx (they're spot on!), just go with the flow, you can't say no, to Feminine Hijinx! If you've listened to our podcast, you've heard that insanely catchy tune (even John walks around singing it), written and played/sung by Suz, by the way. Can't wait! I'm in the mood for wine and naughty talk with the minxes - woo hoo! I have a small surprise to spring on them tonight, heh, heh, heh... I'll report tomorrow... Ooooh, a mystery!

Ch, ch, chicken tonight, crispy, quick oven-roasted chicken (recipe at right). Rice. (As I often point out, lots of chicken and rice consumed in this household - it's a Levy thing; but I go with it.) Sauteed vegetables. I think I'll do curry in the veg again, I really enjoyed it when last I stirred up a batch. (I'll post a recipe for it in comments, below.) Particularly good with rice, which is nice because I don't create a sauce from this particular chicken recipe. I certainly could, you do end up with lots of gorgeous crusty brown drippings in the pan. It's a nod to moderation, I suppose - I eat 100%+ of the crackly, crunchy, salty skin, baby, so the trade-off is no sauce. That way I can put down my fork feeling satisified, happy even, but not ill. Moderation. Right.
