Nothing to do with anything.<\/p><\/div>\n

A few more of my friends have gone gluten-free, and I\u2019ve been thinking about diets and nutrition and giving a lot of advice and (hopefully) support. Being gluten-free seems so easy to me now (six years later) that I\u2019ve almost forgotten what they\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n

All this and the changing of the seasonal produce from winter squash and sweet potatoes to lettuce and green beans has been stirring up thoughts on nutrition and diet. I can feel a series of food-related posts coming like a storm brewing. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have a friend who is particularly fond of the television mini-series, claiming that because they are longer than movie you become more invested in the story, and because they have endings, unlike a regular series, they provide answers. (Curses to Lost for making me wait this long for answers). She makes a valid argument. Maybe we should return to the days of classics like Mother May I Sleep With Danger?<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, if you haven\u2019t noticed by now, I seem to be fond of the mini-series of posts. The things I want to explore are generally too complex for one post but eventually I run out of things to say. So, for now I\u2019ve included a recipe. Perhaps it\u2019s the beginning of another mini-series. I\u2019ll have to come up with a name\u2026 Any ideas?<\/p>\n

The recipe: it\u2019s chicken. It\u2019s easy and good and (of course) gluten-free. Enjoy!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recipe: Five-Spice Roast Chicken<\/h2>\n

    \n

    Instructions<\/h4>\n

    1. Combine garlic, salt, olive oil and Chinese five-spice powder in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.<\/li>\n
    2. Preheat oven to 425 F. Arrange onion wedges in 13x9x2-inch roasting pan. Arrange chicken, skin side up, atop onions.
