Ask any woman, and she’ll tell you that guys who cook are catnip. They have a sexy self confidence and aren’t afraid to experiment. It also shows a nurturing side that is very appealing.

We first discovered Perfect Spice, a Canadian product, many years ago when our friends from Canada brought about a case with them and produced a bottle, like magic, at every meal… what a revelation! It made everything we sprinkled it on taste better.

What do you do with Rotisserie Chicken?

(Sung to the tune of “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor”)

Our recent practice during the pandemic (and it will probably continue after as well) is to go to Costco about once every 2 weeks. Each time, I buy 2 rotisserie chickens (just about the best $10 you can spend). Here’s what I do with it:

NIght 1: Sliced roast chicken with a veg and maybe a starch--in this case, microwave steamed peeled asparagus (1.5 minutes) with leftover hollandaise and homemade pasta with truffle butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Total time: about 15 minutes, including peeling the asparagus--it does make it taste better.

After dinner: I break down the rest of the chickens into chicken meat (to be used in salad, pasta, tacos, chicken salad or soup)

and the bones to be turned into bone broth …

The bone broth cooks overnight in the pressure cooker setting on the Instant Pot.

Which leaves me with a good quantity of chicken bone broth to make some of our favorite soups:

Matzoh Ball Soup

Thai Shrimp, Pork and Chicken Soup with Jalapenos

Slow Cooker Lentil Soup with Sausage and Spinach
