Roasting a Chicken
I’m roasting a chicken
(I’m far from a cook).
I opened the oven
To take a quick look.
It’s sitting there, browning,
With veggies around it;
The recipe’s Ina’s*
(I Googled and found it).
It’s a holiday meal
So I hope it tastes good.
I followed directions
As well as I could.
We’ll eat it tonight
And with plenty of wine,
I’m sure that my efforts
Will prove to be fine.
*Ina Garten
