Outdoor dining

New dining chairs in action.  It is much easier to say "look, I bought new deck chairs" when they are already pulled up to a table set for dinner, don't you think?

 

Wilted spinach and turnip green (see, we're getting closer to the actual turnips) with bacon and mushrooms, loosely based on a recipe from here:

And butter roasted chicken, from this recipe.

Butter Roasted Chicken

1, 2 to 3 lb chicken cut up

1/2 C butter

1/3 C lemon juice

1 T paprika

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp crushed dried rosemary

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Place chicken in an ungreased baking dish.  Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil.  Remove from the heat and pour over chicken.  Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1.5 hours or until juices run clear.  Baste occasionally.

All inspired by the beautiful meal pictured on Sarah's blog a few days ago.
