Roman on the Radio

As you could tell from reading our other blog....

Will and I lost one of our greatest friends yesterday. It is truly a heavy blow to both of us. For the last two days I have been trying to wrap my head around it all. It's hard. My mind keeps straying to all the good times though and with John it usually involved food. He loved to eat. We spent many an hour talking about food and how to cook things. If we weren't talking about food we were talking while we ate food. We knew the art of lingering.... we could make a meal last a long time. By the time we were finished, we would almost be ready to start all over again. John was a great conversationalist, a great eater, a great man and one of the world's great "friends". In his honor here is one of the simple recipes that he would cook for us all as we sat around blabbing while he grilled. I'll miss you John...

Grilled chicken Roman's way.

(We usually used chicken breasts, but it works with any chicken parts).

Take raw chicken and wash it under cold water, then place it in a heavy ziplock bag. Pour in Zesty Italian Dressing (we used Kraft most of the time). Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours (up to 12 is the most I've tried).
Pull it out and grill it like you would any other chicken on the grill and enjoy. It's full of flavor and moist each and every time.

Please try it and then sit around and enjoy it while talking to friends and really, really take your time and enjoy each other. That's what John would have wanted you to do.

and Roman on the Radio I hope to see you on the "flip side".
