I just realized I never showed you a picture of the chicken I roasted on Kate's birthday. I've never roasted a whole chicken before, so I was very proud of myself. We recently joined a meat share with our friends Max and Carrie who live here in Medford. Once a month, we split 15 lbs. of meat from a local small farm. It supports local farmers and I'm convinced that organically grown meat is healthier for us than industrially produced meat (check out The Omnivore's Dilemma). The quality of the meat is awesome, but I do get odd cuts that I have to come up with a recipe for, hence the whole roasted chicken. This month, it's pork shoulder - and you know how much I LOVE pork! Anybody got a good recipe for pork shoulder???
