Dateline: August 19, 2020 Preserved Lemon Chicken Thighs, Roasted Potatoes, and Zesty Collards

It was a whirlwind of a Saturday.  I had to run into see my GP for a pulmonary test.  Nothing horrid, just a routine test or blowing into things and trying not to pass out.  Which almost happened twice!  Then race home for a zoom call and prepare dinner.  Only after the call was over did I think about eating dinner.

I basically made the usual preserved lemon marinade, lemon, garlic, hot peppers, and olive oil.  I smeared the tights with this and put them on a sheet pan.  I also added some small white potatoes, for Bill, and I put some sweet potatoes on for me.  Into the oven it went, and we sat down to our zoom call.

What I Learned From This

1.  If you are going to be busy and cannot attend to the cooking process, use a lower oven temp.  By the time the call was over, the thighs were just short of shoe leather!  Tasty shoe leather, but not what I had hoped for.  The potatoes were perfect.  Add with the collards and we were set for a great dinner.  

2.  If you are going to have a drink, made sure that you have prepared everything ahead of time.  Trying to clear your head and chop a salad, not a great combo.
