7/18: home cookin’ coq au vin
:: followed (and slightly tweaked) Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking recipe ::
easily the best meal John and I have ever cooked
1) we simmered bacon in water and then sauteed the bits in olive oil / 2) then we separated and browned a whole chicken, substituting Johnny Walker Black for cognac which we lit on fire to burn off the alcohol
3) we then poured nearly an entire bottle of Paralelle 45 Cotes du Rhone into the pan, along w/ chicken broth, tomato paste, mashed garlic, a bay leaf and thyme, and we let that simmer for 30 minutes
4) as that bubbled, we sauteed a handful of mushrooms and browned some beautiful pearl onions / 5) and when, at last, our chicken had cooked and darkened to a lovely maroony red, we removed it from the pan and fat-skimmed, reduced, and then thickened our sauce with tapioca flour and butter
…once the sauce was ready, we added the chicken back in, along w/ our mushrooms and onions, and viola—bon appetite
time consuming, yes, yet so richly flavored—super moist, tender meat, the onions lightly crunching and breaking w/ each bite, the sauce tasting of lovedrunk liquified and home cookin’ happy fruition / definitely an adventure worth attempting in your kitchen :)

training for the Gloucester Half Marathon (5/5/13) + spells of saturnalia in Boston bars/restaurants
BIO
Amanda is a copywriter by trade, blogger by night, runner by nature and foodie at heart. All of the pictures on this blog have been taken with her *iPhone 4, which can be terrible for making phone calls but surprisingly apt at capturing photos. She lives in Boston, MA.
*While it can be somewhat distracting to stop and get camera-happy while running, she'll be the first to tell you that it's been making training so much more dynamic--long, solo runs no longer feel as aimless, now they're about... reporting, and documenting bits of beauty along the way.
BACKGROUND
This blog's inception was August 1st, 2010 with the goal to use this space as an exercise log as I trained for my third half marathon.

A BRIEF NOTE ON THE OBVIOUS RESTAURANTEERING AND INDULGENCE
While running and exercising can become so awesomely addictive, I really believe it shouldn't mean, in turn, that calorie counting ought to become obsessive. Life was meant to be lived, and if you're taking on some gnarly mileage in brutal conditions I don't think it's unreasonable to treat yourself to a glass of something barrel-aged or whiskey-washed, 2 rocks, hold the fruit.
