| A new brand of Harissa, the Moroccan pepper sauce, which I bought at Whole Foods yesterday. It was hot and tasty as a condiment with dinner. |

| The first sweet corn of 2017. It grew quite a lot further south than here in Michigan, where the corn is just getting started. It's almost summer! |
 |
| Chicken roasted with Moroccan spices and olives: I used Ras al Hanout (a Moroccan spice blend), cumin, coriander, fresh garlic and ginger root, and olive oil. This is becoming one of my favorite ways to make a roast chicken. Originally we planned to cook it outdoors -- but rain and thunderstorm warnings deterred us. |
 |
| More about the season -- our garden is looking very beautiful this week, especially the rhododendron. |
 |
| At the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden, the tree peonies have mostly finished blooming, while the garden-variety peonies are just beginning. It's a stunning and exceptional collection of many types of peonies founded over 90 years ago. We had a very nice visit yesterday just before the thunderstorms rumbled into town. |
We are getting thunderstorms today but we sure need the rain. I like your street view. I lived in Owosso MI for a while in my teen years. Quiet little town.
ReplyDeleteGreat chicken dish you have here, I'll bet it's popular with your family.
I'll have to see if I can find some of that Harissa. The chicken sounds and looks so good!
ReplyDeleteIt's chicken for us tonight - thanks for getting me thinking. Cheers
ReplyDeletePretty gardens! Can't wait to see what started blooming when I was out of town.
ReplyDeleteI can only find the Harissa spice powder here, but it is good. Your chicken looks fantastic, and makes me want to fix some right away! Lovely garden.
