An Amish man from Vanceburg, Kentucky sent me this roast chicken recipe (pictured is what he sent me). It doesn't get any easier than this for a recipe!
I have a feeling that this might be one of those recipes that I could fix at home and it wouldn't taste as good as it does if this Amish man fixed it for me at his place.
I could do everything exactly the same and my suspicion is that it still wouldn't taste quite as good. Why is that? Â Â Yes, the chicken would be a fresh, free-range one and not a frozen grocery store one. That would account for some of the difference.
I once at breakfast with an Old Order Mennonite man and his wife. They were both in their 70s and she fixed us a simple breakfast of scramble eggs and cheese and toast. I fix that same thing at home a lot, but it tasted SO much better at their place......one of those food mysteries I'll never understand. Â Anyway, enjoy!

Kevin, as every cook knows, things always taste better when OTHER people cook them, and all you have to do is eat it!! lol!
Kevin
Mary, that is what I suspected! My grandma can make a grilled cheese and will taste better than mine every time!

I don't use oleo. I wonder if butter would be okay.
Kevin
Yes, Mary, butter would be just fine!
