I think I washed my hands more than 17 times tonight, as I was paranoid that I would get some disease from the chicken because Mum told me that you have to use a different chopping board to chop everything else and its best to wash your hands after touching chicken.I have some great news, three lots of it actually.
1. Mum bought me a apron and a oven mitt from 'the Chefs Toolbox' to join my collection of sauté pans and spatulas.
2. I found it! The official Julie Powell Blog!!! I was so excited, I found out she also has another blog on the same website as mine about her everyday life! I will put the links down the bottom if you want to have a look.
3. Uhhh... You know when your writing a list of things down and you forget the last one... yeah that just happened, oh well I'll probably remember it later :)
Spatchcocked Poussin, or as we had to call it 'Spatchcocked Chicken' we decided to get chicken because it was bigger. The recipe was pretty simple actually...wash your hands one billion times, coat the chicken in spices, fry some bread (yum) and roast pine nuts (second times the charm)! Once it was cooked place the chicken on a bed of greens and enjoy! As I am not much of a chicken fan the meal wasn't that appetising to me, my parents liked it but it was a bit of an average meal apart from the bread!! Mum and I have come to the conclusion (no offence intended Nigella) that Nigella's sauces aren't quite to our taste buds, the greasy bitter taste isn't the most satisfying treat of a night, so I have put two and two together and I'm not going to make many of her sauces anymore, and if I do I'll add my own flair to it.
I've decided to make movies every ten or so recipes depending on the extremeness of the recipe, I'm having a break for a few days to get back into the school vibe, but coming up is Spaghetti with Marmite Aussie style and something I have been looking forward to for a while Coffee and Walnut Layer Cake.As Nigella would say "I don't believe in low-fat cooking".

Darling they are called croutons not fried bread and yes as a family I think we have decided that Nigella's dressings have too much oil so you will have to make changes accordingly to the recipe to make dressing lighter and fresher. On the day you were scheduled to make this I tried to get spatchcock however I could only get frozen locally so went with small free range chook.
