(500) Days of Winter

We were getting onto 87 thruway and as we were going through the tollbooth, Tim and I had the following conversation.

Tim: "Do you think the tollbooth guy knows we are gay?"

Jeff: (I glance at him and notice the subtle Gaultier lip gloss and then look down at my orange Prada sweater and Etro striped shirt), "Of course not, we are in a pick up truck."

We decided this weekend that we weren't going anywhere and that we were going to watch a lot of movies and read and live off of what was already in the pantry. Of course, we knew that we had half of the butterscotch triple layer cake in the freezer still. That would get us through lunchtime on Saturday at the very least.

We watched five movies this weekend - "Last Tango In Paris" (What was Marlon Brando thinking?), "Outing Riley," "Shelter," "Harlan County" (Documentary), "(500) Days Of Summer" - (the cutest movie ever).

I cooked dinner and would have made made my Italian mother proud - Baked oregano chicken with potatoes and onions.

Recipe:

3 Chicken breasts

2 White large onions

6 Russet potatoes

Garlic Cloves (to taste)

Oregano

Salt and Pepper

Olive Oil

1. Slice potatoes into thin slices and line the baking pan.

2. Slice onions and scatter among potatoes.

3. Place chicken breasts on top of potatoes and onions.

4. Dice garlic and sprinkle on top.

5. Sprinkle oregano, salt and pepper throughout.

6. Drizzle olive oil and toss.

Bake for an hour covered with foil. Uncover foil and bake for additional 15 minutes.

We had that for dinner Saturday with a slice of the leftover butterscotch cake. That cake is deadly. Deadly, deadly, deadly.

Snowbound with full stomachs and lots of entertainment - Perfect weekend!
