pocket 的迷迭香雞腿排

主要是參考下列兩個網友的經驗而成

http://www.yealing.net/read-453.html
http://kkmommy.pixnet.net/blog/post/19939495

1. 雞腿排去骨
2. 將雞腿排放入酒,橄欖油,大蒜片,義大利香料(Italian seasoning),迷迭香,鹽,黑胡椒醃製
****重點來了!!!!!!pocket獨家改良!
1.由於迷迭香一根一根的很難從雞肉上去除,但如果不去除又會烤焦,所以我就用那種滷包的棉布袋,將迷迭香放入,所以雞肉醃起來有迷迭香的味道卻沒有一根一根的迷迭香在上面囉!
2. 我個人還會加入大蒜碎末一起醃製~(用大蒜機壓過的那種)
3. 另外~我會加一點醬油,不要太多~不過這樣醃起來的雞腿排味道更好~我個人覺得ㄌ(也許不是很道地就是ㄌ...)
4. 檸檬..最後我會加入檸檬汁一起醃製(是新鮮的檸檬擠出來的汁喔!)
感覺起來比較清淡!


去年感恩節已經做過一次ㄌ!相當成功~
希望今年也可以!:D

New York Getaways-One day trip! (FALL HARVEST WINE, CHEESE & APPLE PICKING WEEKENDS)

http://www.mta.info/mnr/html/getaways/outbound_fall_wine_cheese.htm

Get whisked away for a day-long celebration of the fall harvest of wine, local cheese, and apples when you step on the Dutchess County Farm Fresh Link shuttle at Poughkeepsie Station.



At your first stop, explore the charming Village of Millbrook. Known for its rolling hills and horse farms, Millbrook is also home to many eateries, gift shops and antique stores. On Saturdays, you'll also be able to meander the Millbrook Farmer's Market's twenty vendors featuring their delicious, locally-grown produce and fine food specialties. Take advantage of one the many cafes to buy a picnic lunch that you can enjoy while at Millbrook Winery or in the Millbrook Tribute Garden park.

Next, it's wine tasting and scenic views at one of the Hudson Valley's premiere wineries, Millbrook Vineyards & Winery. Located in a renovated Dutch-hip dairy barn with views of its 130-acre estate, Millbrook produces high-caliber wines using classical French and Italian wine-making techniques. Take a guided tour and enjoy a tasting at this award-winning winery. (Tasting fee is $6 per person and is in addition to the package price).

Then, it's on to Terhune Orchards, a 70 year old family-owned and operated farm, in Salt Point. Here you can enjoy the market, take a hayride, pick your own apples, and marvel at incredible open-space vistas. Wander the 70 acres of fruit trees and vegetables. The market features preserves, butters, spreads, pies, donuts, breads, and much more.

Your last stop is Sprout Creek Farm, a model of sustainable agriculture, also known for its artisanal cheeses lovingly produced by a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. Sample the creamery's mouth-watering creations and local seasonal fare from the farm market. Try the creamery's mouth-watering creations made from the rich and creamy milk of the herd of grass-fed Jersey, Guernsey, Milking Shorthorn and Brown Swiss cows. Sprout Creek's cheeses are all about soil, seasons, grasses, and happy cows!

The Dutchess County Farm Fresh Link shuttle will stay with you all day, transporting you to the various locations and bringing you back to Poughkeepsie Station for the return trip home.
