Kurt outdid himself on one of his famous chicken recipes last night. He cooked it on his brand spanking new Jamie Oliver saucepan, care of T-FAL. Can that baby ever cook evenly. The chicken turned out super-crispy on the outside and super-moist on the inside. Kurt even put an extra dollop of capers in the pan, just for me!

We paired it with a sauvignon blanc that we got as an anonymous wedding present (in a yellow wine bag? who was this?) and happily, with our new favourite sparkling water from France, Badoit. I’m so ecstatic to discover that our grocery market downstairs stocks this. In my mad research phase googling Badoit and dry rose wine imports, I had thought that Badoit was only commercially available in the US. You should have seen me whooping in the aisle yesterday when I saw over a dozen of the slim red bottles on the shelves.
