Sunday Supper: Rotisserie Chicken
Lately we've been eating only two real meals on Sundays. We have omelets at a little harborside café, and find that this meal satisfies us (and certainly provides our quota of eggs for the week) until suppertime.
At that point, one of us makes a run to the Italian market or the other supermarket in town for rotisserie chicken. Sometimes it is accompanied by cole slaw, other times by oven-roasted vegetables.
Until recently, I cooked my own chicken. But time is scarce these days. The chicken we find at local supermarkets is wonderful, and I can see why my mother has loved it all these years.
We found rotisserie chicken all over Paris and were sorely tempted by some we saw on Rue Cler. But my husband purchased what seemed like tons of sausage, and regrettably, we passed it up. Next time. (My next-time list is getting quite lengthy.)
We did buy a bag of rotisserie chicken potato chips, which were OK, but not nearly as delightful as olive potato chips. We wondered if olive was a southern preference.
What is your favorite deli meal?

I love the combination of turkey breast chunks in a nice mild curry paired with raisins, celery, and onion. Sometimes, I buy a small tub of the turkey salad and have it with a few stuffed grape leaves for lunch.
Kalyn, I am still trying to keep the carbs low. If you buy it, it must be OK!
Betty, gratin de pommes de terre sounds awfully good, too.
I feel bad about not cooking, and I miss it, but I am just so darned tired at night now!
Toni, my mom says she can live on one for a week. I think she exaggerates a bit...
Oh, Laura! Yum! I used the drippings to flavor rice from the Camargue last night. Oh my. Very good.
Violette, the olive chips are out of this world. Hope I find some next year in the Lot.
Or throw some roast veges in the turbo oven for a complete roast meal in a short time.
I coat the roast veges in garlic butter for a yummy finish.

Wanda, sounds like we are on the same page, foodwise. I am truly a coleslaw addict.
They sell them in the supermarkets here complete with roast vegetables.... yum !
Fiona, what a great idea to sell the veggies, too. I would like that. So often my days last 12 hours or more and I am truly beat when I come home - too tired to slice or trim.
