comfort food

We've been working our butts off here this week. It's been non-stop fun with parent conferences and lots of other school stuff. So by the time we hit Friday, we were ready for a drink and some relaxation. We missed having about 30 of our family members and friends accompany us when we sat at the bar at Lahiere's for dinner on Friday night.... the wait-staff still remembers us, and the last time we were there they commented on how nice we all looked on the night of the "family meeting." (Carol wanted to know if they also commented on how drunk everyone was....) Does that mean we're slumming it the rest of the time??? Anyway, now that it's Sunday, it's time for roast chicken. Gotta love the Barefoot Contessa for the easiest, tastiest recipe ever. And I thought that some bisquit muffins would go along nicely. And I even used vegetable shortening so that one Mr. Bob wouldn't turn up his nose at them.... They turned out darn good. I ate two just to make sure they were okay....
