It was filled with laundry, doing sports\u00a0(easy calculation: more sports = more food), bringing Cookie to the vet over a very bad eye infection,\u00a0then struggle forever to keep her calm to get the ointment in her eye three times a day, visit my mum and the building site (yes, we became home owners)\u00a0and more laundry. So now I feel like I need another weekend to recover from the weekend. But who doesn&#8217;t feel like that on Mondays?<\/p>\n<p>Somewhen during this weekend, I was also active in the kitchen and tried How Sweet It Is&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howsweeteats.com\/2011\/07\/brown-sugar-butter-roasted-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\">brown sugar roasted chicken<\/a>. She has the most amazing recipes on her blog and you cannot imagine how good this was! It was the first chicken that I cooked in one piece (yes, it was weird stuffing garlic cloves up its a**), it was quick and easy to do\u00a0and it turned out to be one of the best chickens ever! I adapted the recipe only a little by crushing a garlic clove already in the butter mix and stuffing it with garlic cloves and a teaspoon of the butter\/sugar mix. I left away the beer but will definitely try that version too. The slightly sweet taste with a\u00a0deliciously tender meat and a perfect crust were so good that we ate the whole chicken at once. And I think I have to do another one next weekend. All my guests will have to eat this chicken from now on. I appointed it to be\u00a0my favourite autumn dish.<\/p>\n<p>And while the chicken was roasting, I was mixing together a poppy seed cake that I haven&#8217;t had since a long time. Recipe will follow soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend seemed to be incredibly busy.
