    Today is such a gorgeous day in Seattle. So in celebration of our one day of summer, ;D , I made a brine for a chicken I flattened and will be grilling whole. The brine consists of water, kosher salt, preserved lemons, bay leaves, thyme, honey and black peppercorns. I also made a potato salad with red potatoes, duck eggs, homemade pickles and a mayo/dijon sauce. With steamed brussel sprouts on the side, this will be a wonderful meal.

    I like the idea of brining a flattened chicken. Flattening + lots of lemons -- that's my standard 'goto' for a quick chicken dinner. Hubby says he's tired of it. Let's see if I can get it past him this time.

    Of course, I could just cover the chicken with lingonberry jam. That's what he did 2 nights ago when he cooked the salmon!!!! I didn't eat any, and refrained from commenting on it. All I could think was it was a change from his usual pesto covering. And that I didn't have to cook him dinner when he arrived home late. Late dinners are one of my weight problems. If I cook for him when he comes home late, I often end up eating a second dinner.

    I've never had lingonberry jam. I must try it soon!

    Today I weighed in at 180.8 for a total loss of 5.2 pounds in the month of August. Wahoo! I plan on being 176 by the end of September. It feels doable.
