And cooking.
I tried a couple more of Jamie Oliver's recipes last week - the "peppers stuffed with peppers" from Jamie At Home (still can't find this recipe anywhere on the 'net...) and "Tender and crisp chicken legs with sweet tomatoes", which came up a couple weeks ago on his "Recipe of the Day" RSS feed.
Both were awesomely good - although I appreciated the filling of the stuffed peppers more than the pepper shell - and the recipes really encourage you to play with color in your food (peppers and tomatoes both come in a wide variety). The chicken legs were beyond easy - put big chunks of tomato and potato in a baking dish, put chicken leg quarters on top, scatter whole cloves of garlic and shreds of basil around the dish, and bake for an hour and a half. Total cleanup, 1 knife, 1 cutting board, 1 baking dish...unless blood is spilled in a fistfight over the garlic cloves. I'm really looking forward to making either or both of these next summer when I have fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden - and both are a good answer to the dilemma I had about what to do with the bounty from my over-enthusiastic cherry tomato plant.
