AnneLine Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I was an hour into my phone conversation when I realized I was still dressed like the 17th Century AnneLine. Made me feel that I was talking abut someone who was almost my contemporary when we discussed St. John of the Cross.... odd feeling!!!!! Anne was neat people -- she and her husband suffered much for the faith - and he died in exile in Europe. She was asked by the Jesuits to run a 'safe house' for priests... and so she did so.... and undoubtedly was a better housekeeper than I will ever be...... They moved her a few times 'cause they were afraid that she was under suspicion... and meanwhile she developed this deep, mystical prayer life while doing simple housework and priest-hiding...... Then one day they broke in on them while Mass was about to be conducted, and they arrested the Jesuits and her. They took her to London and she was executed at Tyburn... and I love her final words, when they asked her if she had anything to say.. she said, "[i]I am sentenced to die for harbouring a Catholic priest, and so far I am from repenting for having so done, that I wish, with all my soul, that where I have entertained one, I could have entertained a thousand."[/i] [i] [/i] My kind of lady!!!!

ChristinaTherese Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm up, but I'm doing homework and shouldn't be on here.

AnneLine Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Thank you for coming! Good for you doing your studying! A few mins break is fine, but then... back to not being Sunday yet.... I'd kindda hoped we'd have a fun thread like we did on Halloween, but this was fun, too... did you see the silly Amish suit that ARFink put together!? LOVED your Benedictine nun costume, by the way.... Edited November 4, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yup. I like his suit. By the way, I noticed in your chicken recipe that you said to put a cup of water in the bottom of the pan with the chicken. I was wondering, due to living at college and not wanting to set the fire alarm off like my mom does really often when I cook in my apartment next year, if that would make it so that the oven didn't release a ton of smoke when it was opened? (I think you said that, but I wanted to check.) Also, does that affect the flavor of the chicken when it comes out in any way? (It looked like good chicken, a lot like my mom would make, by the way. (Except I think she's allergic to rosemary.... I was using a lot of parsley, garlic, basil, and oregano over the summer when I cooked. (I was cook for a couple of weeks, because Mom was gone.)) Yum.)

AnneLine Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Ah, CT, therein lies a tale...that is to keep the rosemary from BURSTING INTO FLAME IF IT GETS TOO HOT Like AnneLine did once!!! Adding water or wine or other liquid also makes the chicken super-moist... but you want to keep the chicken up OUT of the liquid. The branches hold the chicken up over the water and the juices drop down into the bottom. If you can't use the rosemary, you could use a metal rack to hold the chicken up-- and then you wouldn't need the water, either... or find some other nice-smelling wood. (Just be sure you don't use anything poisonous!). What you wouldn't get is the really nice rosemary smoked flavor on the chicken.... I don't know if you could use something like apple wood or some such thing. but yeah, that keeps me from burning the place down!!!! I'd probably squirt some lemon juice on the chicken and then leave the lemons in the bottom of the pan with a bit of water or butter.... and then squirt the juicy lemons over the chicken at the end. The rosemary trick works really well in a crockpot with a cheap cut of beef by the way... then you use the rosemary, the beef, and pour a cup of wine over it... maybe add a little pasta sauce if you want to get fancy... and put the lid on and let 'er cook. Mmmmmmm.... Now we both are hungry.... Edited November 4, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
