Finally got to see Julie & Julia on Sunday.

Today’s Photohunter theme is “tied”.
Since I don’t tie up my cats (though I sometimes have to bundle them in a towel to give them oral meds) my thoughts naturally moved on to tied-up food. Last winter I started making roasted chickens on a regular basis – wonderful comfort food. This was the first one.
