HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELIX & MITSUE



We decided to try out this recipe for Peruvian Lime Chicken that we found in Cooks Illustrated, because it sounded so delicious. It was! The chickens are cooked "standing up," which makes them look rather creepy in the oven. You can either use a stand up roaster, or they suggested beer cans, with a little bit of beer in them. We used coconut water cans (I can't get enough of it, btw), with water in them. They turned out great. To make things even better, Kevin prepared some duck confit, which we had as an appie. Dessert was birthday cake, of course, from one of our favourite Chinese cake shops: Anna's.

Felix got so many lovely gifts, including this wagon! And he really had a great time! Thanks to all for coming!

Check out the progress of that pork! It was so delicious, perfectly tender and fantastically flavoured. Well done chef Kevin!
