3. The buttermilk roast chicken looks decent

but I'd probably do it with yogurt, which has slightly more adhesive power. I'm not sure I'd use honey in it. I like some fruits with poultry but not sweetness by itself.

As you can tell, recipes are only suggestions for me. I don't think I've made anything exactly by the book since I was in my 20s and cooking my way through Julia Child's first book.

4. I 'invented' my beef stew recipe,

after my older daughter was born 31 years ago; I'd have her with me in the kitchen, often on my hip when doing it.

I made it for her + family before her 2d kid was born in October, so she could freeze it and have something available, and she had it today!
