Lonely night perfection

Mary and Sam are gone playing (+ melting) with family in the midwest.  I'm missing them terribly.  But this is what I did.

I had a free "farm-to-family whole chicken" from Whole Foods, because of a grand opening coupon.  Well, time was running out on the coupon and I couldn't wait for our little carnivore to return!  I thought it was going to be a rotisserie chicken - but when I got to Whole Foods, it turned out to be a raw one.

OK, no problem - except I hadn't really planned on cooking.  Quite frankly, the whole shopping trip became confused by this one thing.  I didn't even remember milk!  So I had to cook with what was already in the house.

But cooking is so much simpler than people make it out to be.  It turns out 6 ingredients will really do the trick:

Chicken
Lemon
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil

I added some green beans on the side, a glass of Pinot Noir, an Oranje napkin (in celebration!) and some AL GREEN!  How's that for lonely night perfection?  Anyway, I couldn't share dinner with my loved ones tonight - but I know their digital selves will check in soon.  Love you guys.
