On the same roll of film as the lovely McDonalds breakfast sandwich, we also found our first attempt at cooking a Jacques Pepin chicken recipe. Now, we are kinda in love with good old Jacques, and I personally believe the Gllen emulates this chef in the kitchen, slurping away over the food in anticipation of it's deliciousness.
This particular recipe is for roasting a chicken in under an hour by cutting out the spine and spreading it open onto a fry pan for searing, then finishing it in the oven. (I always have to cover me ears and hide under something as Gllen happily hacks and cracks away at the carcass - eeew.) Gllen has prepared this about 10 times since this picture was taken, and I'm pretty sure it will be the only way he'll cook a whole chicken from now on. He's also quite taken with creating sauce from the drippings using red wine.
I still remember quite clearly, after the meal had been prepared, Gllen seized the camera to document his creation. With a zealous flair, he nimbly maneuvered around the plate, ducking here, zooming there, shuffling to the side and clicking away. He must have taken at least 10 pictures.
Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the lighting correct yet, and he's not happy with these pictures because you can't tell what the heck is on the plate (he has high standards) so this will have to do until the next roll of film is developed.
