Hello Joyce Or should I say Hello Santa!

Our friend Joyce has arrived from The US of A. Bearing gifts. She arrived at the ungodly hour of 5am but as I am having some very much needed alcohol free days it was not a problem getting up and at it.

As usual she came bearing gifts. Lots of clothes and a bottle of this wonderful Mojito Marinade.

 
Very citrusy and with corinader. Not only did it transform our chicken into a delicious tender bite, but it was full of flavour.

My Butcher John at Gladstone Butchers in Parnell still sells chicken SKIN ON. Thank god...He also sells the Chicken Maryland, which is the full leg.
We marinated our legs, roasted them on a bed of onions and Voila
Beautifully roasted chicken.
Served with  crushed basil potatoes.
What a meal.

 

Of course Joyce never forgets the kids and she always manages to buy them some really cute clothes.

Ms Cleo is the first to get her gifts

Move over Tyra

 

Hasn't quite mastered the walk yet and she is working  on the poses.

 

But if all fails, she can always try Music.

 

Its in the family you know

 

Go Cleo.

Thanks Joyce
