Dinner last night...

After a long and emotionally devastating day, I was in no mood to cook
last night.

Oh, no, I thought things were going well.

Quoted message said:

At first, anyway. My delightfully thoughtful husband picked up a couple of
rotisserie chickens at Costco (if you've never tried them, do!)

Funny, I was kinda embarrassed I liked the rotisserie chicken
from Whole Foods, now Costco? I'll give it a shot.

and we were debating on what to have with the chicken. Salad, easy enough,
yes? Now a nice easy side. Angel hair! I made the pasta and in the
meantime, sautéed about 4-5 med sized cloves of garlic till golden then
added a jar of marinated artichokes (drained and rough chopped) and about
8 diced roma tomatoes. A sprinkling of sea salt, and a sprinkling of lemon
juice. Simmered a few minutes till the pasta was done and drained, then
tossed. Topped with a chiffonade of fresh basil, and a light sprinkling of
asiago. Yum! It was a delicious dish and rounded out the meal quite
nicely...as well as having the added benefit of distraction!

That sounds awfully good. Tonight I was going to christen my
toaster oven rotisserie; the chicken is still frozen solid, alas. Been
out of the freezer since at least Tuesday, what is up with that.
Anyway, it's ribeye steak, baked potatoes and a big salad tonight,
perfect meal for himself who is recovering from a nasty whateveritis
he had, don't really think it was a cold.

Hope things are okay by you.

That does sound like a nice, easy side. Good choice. Now I"m craving
artichoke hearts!

Sorry about the tough day. Your dinner sounds great, even without the
chickens.

We generally don't buy their roasted chickens except when we're on our way
home and we're kinda hungry. If nothing else, two chicken sandwiches for
$4.99 -- whatta deal! Better than stopping famished at a fast-food
restaurant.

Nothing wrong with that. My experience with rotisserie chicken
from the supermarket was really bad, and I'm really just talking
about the few times I tried it. I know there are better out there.
Tiny, overdone dried out things.

Was wowed by the one I bought from Whole Foods one time,
and for the price, sounds as if the Costco chickens are great,
too.

Where were they, though, when I was working for a living and
often had no time at all to put dinner on the table, nor cared what
was for dinner. Never mind when my oven was broken for
about a year. Could have used them then. I started craving
roast chicken.

Costco rotissieried chickens have gained a great reputation, and for
good reason. Try one sometime.

I never used to like store bought ones, but the Costco chickens are very
moist and very flavorful. And the price can't be beat!
I like to use them for chicken wraps too...I just pull the meat off and mix
it with some bbq sauce, then wrap in a warm tortilla with cheese. My husband
likes tomatoes and onions on his, my daughter skips the cheese...but there
so good and easy for a quick lunch.

No way in the world I'll buy cooked chcken that I haven't prepared
myself. Call me delusional, but there are way too spooky things going
on in the bird world, never mind regular mishandling of chicken in
restaurants, that I'd chance it. My chicken breasts florentine are far
better, anyway, than anything I can get in a restaurant.
