The winter weather continues to muck around with my colleagues in Virginia, so instead of hitting the road this afternoon to head up to Winchester, I got an extra day this week in this wonderful old Roediger House. It was cold and rainy and miserable here. so what better way to kick-start the morning than some lemon-buttermilk pancakes (Meal No. 74, for those who like when I keep track of this)?



But that wasn't it for kitchen duty today. With an eye to getting some of the fellas together for a late-night supper, and wanting to try out a recipe from good friends in Princeton, I turned my labors to putting together a hearty concoction known to some of you as Country Captain Chicken. It's a crockpot thing but there's cooking that's preliminary to that, so the mid-day breakfast was quickly cleared away and preparation tackled.



The result was, quite simply, amazing. Here's a shot of the steaming finished product (Meal No. 75) on some brown basmati with some french-cut green beans and fresh-made heartland sunflower bread.
