OHD the first of your herbs love
Lemon-Rosemary Chicken
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
? 4 chicken breasts
? Juice of 4-6 lemons
? 1 lemon, sliced thin
? 2-3 stalks worth of rosemary leaves
? Black pepper
? 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed (optional)
Directions:
? Preheat oven to 375.
? Place chicken in a small glass baking pan or a roasting pan.
? Pour juice over chicken. You should have between 1/8" and 1/4" of juice at the bottom of the pan.
? Sprinkle rosemary leaves and some pepper on the chicken.
? Spread garlic on chicken. Place lemon slices on top of chicken and garlic, and cover tightly with foil.
? Bake 45 minutes or until chicken is done.
Serve with Uncle Ben's wild rice, heated plain yogurt with a bit of lemon added, and steamed broccoli.
Italian Potatoes with Onion and Rosemary
4 Servings
Slice the potatoes for this crisp pancake as thin as possible, and don't worry if they break up as you slice. Be sure to cook them until both sides are browned and as crusty as they can be without getting burned.
If the notion of flipping the whole pancake at once seems a bit daunting, quarter it in the skillet and turn each quarter individually with a spatula.
• 2 1/4 pounds baking potatoes (about 4 potatoes), scrubbed, peeled, and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
• 10 ounces yellow onion (about 1 large onion), peeled and thinly sliced (about 13/4 cups)
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cook the potatoes in a microwave oven at full power for 7 to 8 minutes, until fork-tender. (You can also boil the potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes in 4 cups of water to which 2 teaspoons of salt have been added.) Set the potatoes aside until cool enough to handle.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. In the hot skillet, combine the onion, garlic, and wine. Stir to combine thoroughly and cook for about 15 minutes, until the onion is very soft.
Add the potatoes, parsley, and rosemary. Mix well and mash with the back of a wooden spoon to form a large pancake. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are browned and somewhat crusty underneath. Position a plate upside down over the pan, flip the pancake out onto the plate so that the cooked side is up, and then slide it back into the pan. Cook for about 15 minutes more, until the second side is crusty.

Rosemary
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is widely used as a culinary herb, especially in Mediterranean dishes, and is also used as a fragrant additive in soaps and other cosmetics. Traditionally, rosemary has been used by herbalists to improve memory, relieve muscle pain and spasm, stimulate hair growth, and support the circulatory and nervous systems. It is also believed to affect the menstrual cycle, act as an abortifacient (inducing miscarriage), relieve menstrual cramps, increase urine flow, and reduce kidney pain (for example, from kidney stones). Recently, rosemary has been the object of laboratory and animal studies investigating its potential in the prevention of cancer and its antibacterial properties.

The cockroaches?
Well, I'm certainly glad they changed that name. I wouldn't have bought vids for my daughter of a group of fellas called the cockroaches. Now I'm singing, Cock, cock, cock, cock, cock... cock-a- doodly do.
That would've been awfully funny coming from the cockroaches!

The Cockroaches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Cockroaches were an Australian rock / pop band who achieved reasonable success in the 1980s and 1990s. The band took their name from an obscure nom de plume favoured by The Rolling Stones during the 1960s.
The band is today best known for containing several members of the internationally successful childrens' musical group The Wiggles.
[edit]
Personnel
The original line-up of the band was:
Paul Field - lead vocals
John Field - rhythm guitar and lead vocals
Anthony "Tony" Field - lead guitar and backing vocals
Jeff Fatt - keyboard
Phil Robinson - bass
Tony Henry - drums
Peter Mackie replaced Phil Robinson in 1988.
[edit]
Discography
The Cockroaches released 5 albums:
The Cockroaches (1987)
Fingertips (1988)
Positive (1991)
St. Patrick's Day 10am (1994)
Hey Let’s Go – The Best of the Cockroaches (1999)
[edit]
History
The Field brothers (Paul, John and Anthony) started the group in 1979 while still at boarding school, (St Joseph's College at Hunters Hill (NSW)). The band regularly played at school dances and pubs. The Cockroaches began writing their own music and issued a string of singles on a variety of independent labels. In 1986 the band signed a deal with Regular Records.
The band's first original songs were:
I Want a Leather Jacket
Blue Moon of Kentucky (June 1980)
Through with Her
Bingo Bango (June 1981)
Used to Be
She Goes on and on (August)
Empty Heart
Apartment #9 (October)
Shake Jump and Shout
Last Night
Empty Heart (November 1982)
See You in Spain
I've Been Thinking About You (June 1984)
My Whole World's Falling Down
Groovin’ in the Graveyard (June 1985)
Another Night Alone My Type of Girl (December).
The band's first single on Regular, `Wait Up'/`Henry's Lizard' (September 1986), became a national Top 40 hit and #13 in Sydney. The band's debut album, The Cockroaches (March 1987) produced three further singles, `She's the One'/`Can in the Hand' (January), `Some Kind of Girl'/`Dr Richmond' (May) and `Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)'/`Something Good' (August). The Cockroaches reached #9 on the national chart, on its way to selling over 100,000 copies and `She's the One' became the band's biggest hit when it peaked at #7 during April 1987. `Some Kind of Girl' and `Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)' also made the Top 30.
Peter Mackie replaced Phil Robinson before the band recorded its second album, Fingertips. In early 1989, The Cockroaches undertook a national tour. The band's third album, Positive (June 1991), included a cover of Brenda Lee's `Here Comes the Feeling' (August), which also appeared on the soundtrack to the feature film The Crossing, starring Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer. By the end of the year, however, The Cockroaches as a band concept had run its course. To add to the stress, Paul Field’s seven month-old daughter died from SIDS while touring.
In the early 90's Anthony Field studied early childhood education at Macquarie University. He eventually started The Wiggles with Jeff Fatt, Murray Cook (guitar) and Greg Page (vocals), which turned out to be one of the most successful ventures of the 1990s.
