The glow of the Japanese Lantern

We invited Robert and Darryl over for dinner. We have a Japanese Lantern that we have kept in our downstairs guest bedroom.  Perfect for using the Rotisserie outdoors and then eating on our patio overlooking the city. Cathy realized we should bring it up and use it. We took it outdoors for this dinner and it cast a beautiful light. It was a beautiful warm night in Silverlake.

We decided to make Rotisserie Chicken. We cooked the chickens over a pan of potatoes and shallots and let the chicken drippings flavor the potatoes. Cathy stuffed the two chickens using the recipe for Roast Chicken for Two and from The Balthhazar Cookbook by Keith McNally, Riad Nasr & Lee Hansen. This is a great recipe that keeps the chicken very moist. You can find the recipe on our blog of: June 23, 2012. Click the date to get the recipe.

We started with a Persimmon Salad with Speck and Almonds.

It was a great treat to be able to eat outdoors and enjoy the night.
