Chef’s Notes

While I made my way to the gym, this chef prepared a delicious dinner!

Here is he looking very pleased with himself (and he should be – it was very tasty!!)

IMG_1515

Glazed Whole Chicken, Pumpkin Spiced Kale, Roasted Butternut Squash

IMG_1494

IMG_1507

The chef is very much into reductions: three for three nights in a row!! See notes below on his mix.

IMG_1493 IMG_1488  IMG_1489  IMG_1491

Chef’s Notes: Chicken

  • Cut the whole chicken into breasts, thighs, drums, and wings
  • Season with salt and herb rub and let sit for 3 hours
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Sear the chicken on the skin side for 3 min in a stainless steel pan, then flip and sear for 1 more min
  • Pour 4-5oz of beer in the pan, and then put the entire pan in the oven
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until internal temp hits 165*
  • When chicken is done, pour the liquid from the chicken into a separate sauce pan and bring to a boil
  • Reduce the sauce until thick and syrupy, and then pour over the chicken at serving time

[KERF NOTE: The reduction was REALLY salty! And look how small this breast was! That’s a traditional local chicken for you. (And my thumb is not fungused – that’s gold polish!)]

IMG_1508

Chef’s Notes: Kale

  • Steam for about 5 mins, until tender but not mushy
  • Put in a bowl, poured a mixture of EVOO, pumpkin balsamic, and sea salt to taste (maybe a tsp. of each, a little more vinegar)

[KERF NOTE: That would be the new Boston Olive Oil pumpkin balsamic and it rocked!!]

IMG_1497

Chef’s Notes: Squash

  • Slice a small butternut squash lengthwise and remove the seeds
  • Cut into half-moon discs
  • Put in a bowl and then add 2T melted coconut butter, 1t kosher salt, a dash of cinnamon and fresh grated nutmeg
  • Place on a sheet pan and bake at 400* for 40 minutes, flipping once in the middle

[KERF NOTE: I love squash. I ate the skin. Hope my intestines are OK with that!!]

IMG_1495

IMG_1510

IMG_1514

Yummmm!

I biked to the gym around 5 when the sun was just setting and did a nice round-the-world. Total indoor jungle gym tonight! A short circuit through the Freemotion equipment, 20 minutes on the bike next to Karen, who I stumbled upon, another short circuit with free weights, 20 minutes on the Stairmaster, 5 minutes of abs and foam rolling. Nice! Biked on home in the dark, which was scary despite my lights and defensive driving. I need to go back to daytime workouts…

In other news….

WE SIGNED OUR GREAT HARVEST LEASE TODAY!!!!!!

We have a location. [Still feel weird writing the address on the blog. Give me a week. We’re moving onward with plans!! HOPING to be open for business in April. Lots to do in the meantime.

I finished Dragon Tattoo last night. It was good! But I need an uplifting book to follow before I start in on #2 in the series (which I am going to read). I also want to watch the Swedish movie! Maybe I’ll do that tonight with a big mug of tea. Just ate a Biscoff to set the mood!

    Kath, I HIGHLY recommend reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I read a lot and this has been my favorite book of 2010. It’s very imaginative and triumphant! You’ll find yourself falling in love with some of the characters (and despising others).

      I tried reading Water For Elephants last year (I think someone in the middle of organic chem?) and couldn’t get into it so I gave the book away. Guess I should try it again sometime!

        funny i tried to read water for elephants last year too. it just could not hold my interest.
        i just got half way through travelling with pomegranates by sue monk kidd….i’m on page 171 (almost finished) and I just really really want to stop reading it. I hate doing that with books though i feel like once you start you have to finish them.
        congrats on the great harvest lease! 🙂

    Just please don’t forget it’s all subtitles! I watched it while recovering from something 2 months ago not realizing I would really have to pay attention and read really small letters! And it is way more graphic then what your mind pictures while reading the book, at least for me!

    great news about the lease!!!

    the ‘dragon tattoo’ made me decide to comment. i flew through the first book, then watched the swedish movie as soon as it came out. this is strictly my opinion, but the movie completely turned me off to the rest of the series. i had intentions to read the second book (had it in my possession, actually), but after i saw the movie, i realized i couldn’t handle any more of the graphic sexual violence. i wish i still want to read the other books, because i love lisbeth’s character (i read somewhere she is the modern day pippi, except with piercings and tattoos ~ which made me understand why i like lisbeth so much since i was pippi longstocking every single character dress-up day in elementary school!). long story short ~ i feel the movie was much more graphic and disturbing than the book.

    Hi Kath, Congrats on the lease. I have been following your blog for a month or two and I have to say that I don’t really understand what “Great Harvest” is. I understand it is part bakery, but is this some sort of chain and you are opening one in Charlottesville?

    I enjoy your musings and your photos! Thank you 🙂

    • Kath says

      November 18, 2010 at 11:07 pm

      It is a chain! But more like a co-op because each bakery owner has complete freedom of creativity and operations. There are 200+ locations and it started in Montana. The breads are all made-from-scratch and range from deliciously sweet to super crunchy whole grain. Check out http://www.greatharvest.com

    Congrats on finding the bakery location! This is my first time leaving a message but I’ve been enjoying your blog for about two years now. It’s great to see such healthy food jazzed up and balanced with some sweets, bread, and alcohol!! Just wanted to chime in on the Dragon Tattoo discussion. The swedish film is very good and was quite suspenseful. Best of all was the Scandinavian style of cinematography with cool colors and beautiful landscapes. My only problem with the film was the sexual violence which is quite intense and disturbing, even for someone like me who has seen many violent films. I highly recommend the film but I recognize it is not for everyone and if you have any reservations about seeing sadistic-style violence in your movies then I would skip this one.
    Can’t believe they are making an American version…gahh!!!

    Congrats on the lease! I worked for a GH in Denver awhile back and loved the ethos of the company. I am looking forward to having another store nearby (we currently live in C’ville)! Was wondering…as I’m now gluten-intolerant, if your store will be offering gluten-free bread? I know some GH stores are and think this would be AMAZING to have accessibility to fresh bread. Just curious…hope all your transitions go well!

      Hey Rachel, While we’d like to offer GF bread from the start, ensuring there is no contamination is a HUGE process and we probably won’t open with it. I’m not sure if it’s even possible since we mill our own flour on site and are open 6 days a week, but it’s definitely on our radar.

    Just watched the movie. I thought it was a pretty good adaptation of the book, although I have no idea why the completely cut out Anita’s role?? So weird. Those scenes were pretty graphic, but having just read the book, I was mentally prepared. I do think I will move on to book #2 (i’ve heard it’s better) because I’m curious what happens next. I’m sure that creep of a guardian is coming back… scary.

      I thought it was a pretty good adaptation, too. Since it was long and had lots of characters and back story, I was afraid it would be a mess. I finished reading the third book and I’m waiting for that movie to come on Netflix. I wish they weren’t remaking the movies here.

      And for a lighter read, I recommend “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris. You will be laughing out loud.

      And congrats on the lease!

    I’m always happy to find another Stieg Larsson fan (even if we Americans did “discover” the trilogy far later than the Europeans). Though I loved the Swedish film — enough that I was disgusted with the American “remake” casting choice for Lisbeth — I will say that it is very dark, and there are scenes of violence that are not sugarcoated and are VERY hard to watch.

    Three cheers on signing the lease!

    My husband needs to take some “notes” from Matt! What a delicious & gorgeous meal.

    I haven’t prepared butternut squash this way, but will definitely try it out – it works with sweet potatoes, so I bet it’s awesome with squash!

    I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of either the Dragon Tattoo books or Swedish movies. I know they are a huge hit, but for some reason I couldn’t get into them nearly as much as with other books & movie versions. I have yet to read the third book in the series, but I’ve heard it’s the best of the three. I guess I’ll have to read it and see for myself ;).

    If you haven’t read it yet, you should definitely read “The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake” by Aimee Bender! It is excellent, it’s about a little girl who can taste emotions in food.

    Congrats!

    Have you read The Art of Racing in the Rain? I read it over the summer and it was the best book that I’ve read in a while. (it’s not about running like the title might suggest)

    Congrats on the lease!!!!!! Coming from a family business, I know how stressful it can be so a victory is a thing to celebrate 🙂

    And you are NOT going to be able to put down the next book in the Dragon series. It’s WAY better than the first! I’m still waiting to tear into #3.

    I loved Dragon Tattoo!! I watched the Swedish movie right after also, it is SO GOOD. You don’t even realize you are reading the subtitles, it just kinda flows with the movie. I’m now reading Played With Fire – it’s really good also!

    I recently found myself in a rut with books, not knowing what to read next. If you go to Jenna’s blog, she has a blog post where everyone commented with their favorite book. I put all of her comments in to word document, and it’s my new “to-read” list!

    I just bought some kale and acorn squash to make roasted squash with coconut butter and kale chips with ketchup. What kind of ketchup do you use? Your plates always look so good when you sit down to eat. It’s all about presentation. I read your blog every day and I envy that your hubby eats those things with you, mine just gives me strange looks when I make a big veggie plate, but I love fruit and veggies.

    I’d never heard of GH before I started reading KERF and luckily we have one in our town. We were just there today and picked up 3 loaves – spinach feta, sundried tomato and swiss, and caramel pecan. Yum!!
