Shay - have been out of work for three years because of the thyroid problem, am getting ready to apply for new jobs now - will work part time - trying to get all my paperwork and licenses in order. Marriage crisis kind of distracted me from this for the last few months

H's language is not acts of service but he likes things to be orderly and aesthetic and really likes to come home to an organized house that smells good (and he often skips lunch so is ravenous when he gets home!).

I have a great chicken recipe that is super easy but nice enough for company (one pan, too).
Mix the following in a roasting pan:
2 lbs. potatoes cut into 1 1/2 in chunks
1 med. onion, chopped
4-6 lbs chicken - breasts or tenders or whole chicken cut up
2 tsp salt
2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed (I just crumble by hand)
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
A little olive oil

Toss it all, bake 425 uncovered, baste occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes tender.

Asparagus makes a good side dish.
