Slow cooking with too hot an oven, bad Burgundy and other disasters

Ok - I am a good cook - but not always.

It was slow roasted chicken with grapefruit - but it cooked way too fast. Served normally with polenta except the kid is not so keen on that - so it would have been dutch cream potatos mashed.

Two salads - one blanched beans and dijon mustard and one with rocket parmasan, olive oil and balsamic. Nothing complex.

Roman artichokes like you get in a good provincal restaurant out of Rome or in the Jewish quarter in Rome. I like but the wife does not.

Good meal - but not fantastic. Cooked way too fast.
