You know, if I'm going to keep doing this, maybe I should start taking some food photography classes, cuz my pics usually wind up looking kinda disgusting.
I haven't been cooking much recently, which, I think, has been a mistake. I've been in kind of a sour mood altogether, due to probably a dozen different factors I don't think I could track down without a spreadsheet. The act of creation, though, always manages to make me feel better, and cooking is one of the best creative acts I can manage at this point.
Found another recipe on Pinterest a couple of months ago that I really wanted to try. I've never gotten anything with artichoke hearts outside of a restaurant, and I thought it'd be fun to try at home. For once, I actually halved the recipe (the original serves 8), so I wound up with a manageable amount of food for leftovers.
The real draw for this dish is, of course, the sauce - cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts. It's... it's not bad, but it feels very fragmented, like the different flavors (all delicious) aren't really blended quite right. I have some sort of resistance to using frozen spinach in my cooking. I wonder if the added moisture from the frozen spinach would have helped...
Eh, I'm nitpicking. The recipe was a success, and the chicken's really good. Plus, artichokes. Artichokes are delicious.
