Original MIL Mission #2: Just Under the Skin Roasted Chicken
This last Sunday we had our friends Melinda and John over for dinner and to watch Mad Men. I wanted to make Mission #40, Wild Rice Salad with Mango and Toasted Pecans, so I texted MIL to see if she had any entree suggestions. She suggested an Asian-inspired marinated chicken, but when she said “chicken” I couldn’t get Mission #2 (with the Ricotta and Gorgonzola herbed cheese under the skin!) out of my head. So I just brought back the oldie and oh-so-goodie.

Here’s the table. Our guests, in honor of Mad Men, brought a creamy, brandy-soaked Ambrosia. Bitchin’!
