Fuck me,
I just spent $100 at the grocery store and now can't decide whether to grill a steak, or roast a chicken (or do it on the bbq), or do lamb chops for dinner.
And I can't believe I bought so many groceries just for myself. Anyone wanna come for dinner tonight?
Better yet, give me some really good recipes for whole roasted chicken instead of the boring "shove it in the oven with a bit of salt and pepper".

Lemon
prick a whole lemon and shove it into the chicken

rub butter into the skin, sprinkle rosemary leaves, wrap in foil (or a chicken brick if you have)
and roast

easy
Cut some small slivers of garlic, maybe get a couple sprigs of rosemary if you want, make small slits in the chicken and push them in.

Alternatively, joint it up use it in a curry

I have fresh rosemary
and lots of garlic. I like this idea.
As for curry - I've got a ton of it in my freezer as I always make too much and freeze it for future usage.

STEAK
Saves faffing with a chicken for tonight. I recommend sage and onion for when you do make it though. I had a fab rotisserie one that was marinated in it once and it was the best thing EVER.

It's only 1.30pm
here, so I got plenty of time.
I dunno what I'm going to do - I usually have dinner at his house on Sundays, but tonight am staying home out of respect (it's the 2 yr anniversary of his wife's death today)

We're talking and taking it slowly
He's realized why I broke up with him - we were both brutally honest with each other on Thursday night.
We're at the point where it's "our" relationship - me and him - and his family need to step out of it and stop meddling.

I have only had two beers
maxing out a credit card or two to for a last minute flight to California for a chicken dinner does not sound like a good idea yet.

Well if you leave now,
you'll get here sometime around stupid o'clock tomorrow morning. And I'll be in bed, so I ain't picking you up from the airport.

Listen to me here, this is important.
You cut the chicken down the back bone and crack it so it's flat. Then you slice down the legs, wings and breast. Then you cover in Ketchup, Lots and lots of garlic (a whole bulb that's been cut finely), some sea salt, some sweet chilli and some honey.

Then you bung it in the oven, poor a glass of something saucy, a bit of galaxy, run a bath, put the phone off the hook, get the bubbly/silky/smelly stuff. Then soak yourself for about an hour.

Then you lesurly get out the bath, put on that fluffly dressing down that's been left over the radiator, pick a film to watch, base the chicken, call up a girlfriend and chat about this'n'that for about 30 minuites.

Then you tell her you've got to go, take the chicken out (depending on how large), leave to rest for 15 minuites while you get a salad together.

And THAT is how to make a roast chicken.

Am tempted to amend my Tesco order to an entire chicken, not just bits now!

It's always really crap chicken when you order it in bits.
I'ld quite like someone to invent chicken-scratchings.

Yep :( I do it because I like to make curry.
Should really get the two of us an entire chicken and we can nom for days :)
