I actually wasn't entirely certain I was going to be able to come through on my promise from last night. At that time, I had every intention of making a proper dinner, but the circumstances of the day left me in doubt. First, I played some two-hand touch football, then I came back and failed to actually get any sleep during a nap, after that I watched Moneyball (which I'd definitely recommend to any baseball or, oddly enough, Aaron Sorkin fans), and finally I watched the women's volleyball team beat Arizona State University. Dinner would have definitely gone on as planned if I hadn't been peer pressured into going to the game, but the 7 p.m. start time made me wonder if I wouldn't just buy a little something on the way home. Regardless, we got back around 9:15 p.m., and somehow I still had it in me to put this together:
Okay, so I didn't actually make the biggest part of this dish - the rotisserie chicken. The whole chicken was on sale at Safeway for $5, which meant I had no choice but to buy it. I did, however, saute the zucchini and roast the potatoes. Actually, I intended to roast those red potatoes a while ago. I bought them from Whole Foods a week and a half ago, and they were starting to produce life on their own, so it was definitely time to use them. A little olive oil, some garlic salt and pepper, and they were good to go. Waiting for them was difficult (40 minutes meant I got to eat at 10 p.m.), but it was worth it in the end. After all, good food is worth waiting for. Don't let anyone - especially McDonald's and the like - convince you otherwise.
