What's for dinner?

One thing I hate the most is to think of what to cook for the family...most of the time I'll open the fridge, stare at the content and try to figure out what can I cook out of the ingredients available...

and most of the time my mind would go blank..can't think of anything at all..

Nasi? Hmmm everyday nasi...want to eat out, so lazy to get dressed and drag the kids out of the house..must think of anything simple..suddenly thought of Jamie Oliver cooking show and remembered how easy for him cook the roasted chicken. But I don't have whole chicken in my fridge! Well then, roasted chicken to be postponed for tomorrow..for now it got to be nasi again... since all my energy has been consumed on thinking what to cook,so masak nasi goreng jelah..

The next day went to nearest fresh market to get the whole chicken...my instruction to the Bangla at the market "kasi ayam seekor..tak mau potong". Five minutes after that the Bangla past me a plastic bag with the chicken inside. Man!!! the head and feet are still there! God..luckily I saw it, otherwise I have to chop them myself, which I don't think I have the guts to do it...can't imagine cooking the roasted chicken complete with the head & feet... even JO will faint!!

Still can't believe how easy Jamie Oliver made it..so I'm going to try it and share it with you
