Tarragon Mustard Chicken.

Friday’s menu was chicken in tarragon-mustard sauce with roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables and salad with beets and roasted garlic vinaigrette (vegetarians, as a special treat, got hummus, pita and falafels from Aladdin’s. Angela and I wondered if vegetarians consider hummus, pita and falafels to be a treat in spite of their most likely eating it disproportionately more often than non-vegetarians). Danny, Eric and Tony handled entrée and vegetable while Angela did salad and dressing and I took care of the little company who ordered a delicatessen menu. The day was easy (the big MWF company cancelled) except for some forgotten chocolate chip cookies that had to be baked poorly in a too-hot oven, so I was able to focus on photojournalism and not my Negroni hangover (Thursday night bar night at MJ’s).
