Cooking as an Offset to Stress
For reasons family and book-related, I've been pretty stressed recently. So today I decided to fall back on that tried and true remedy - cooking.
But I didn't want to do anything too complicated, because I had Stuff that needed my attention. So...something easy to prep, one-pot, tasty satisfaction at the end...
Arroz con pollo!
I used brown rice and chicken thighs, setting the dutch oven to a slow steady cook, for about 40 minutes. Kept most of the skins on, so the rice would absorb some of that tasty rendered fat...
Why do I not make this more often?
(oh, right. Because the cats get sulky when I don't give them any)
Drinking the last Rhone rose of the season, waiting for the moon to rise so we can maybe see some of the eclipse.
