Amal's Sister's Roast Chicken Boursin

This is a simple recipe that will impress company.   Costco whole chickens work great.

Ingredients:
1-3 Small chicken(s)
1-3 Boursin cheeses (1 for each chicken)
Butter
White wine

Instructions:
Take the butter out of the frig half an hour to an hour in advance.
Rinse and dry the chickens.
Put them into a roasting pan or low casserole just big enough to hold the chicken(s).
Crumble one boursin cheese into the cavity of each chicken.
Rub the outside of each chicken with lots of butter.
Put half a cup of white wine into the pan.
Roast at 250 degrees F. for 3 hours.
Add wine periodically.   Don't let the pan go dry.
When the chickens are done, let rest on a board.
Pull or cut into serving size chunks and place on a platter with a little cheese with each piece.
Spoon or pour the pan drippings, with cheese and wine into a small pitcher and serve on the side or drizzle over the platter.  

Prime Beef Roast

I recently discovered Save-On Meats at 43 Hastings (no connection to Save-On Foods).   They have a butcher shop and a 50's style diner, very hip, and fun.   All clean and well decorated, you will like it.   We had hamburgers (their own ground beef) and slaw and chips.

The prices are very good and they have grass fed beef and lots of great looking sausages.   In case you don't know, we need to eat animal products from animals that ate grass and other living green plants so that the fat is healthy for us.  

I bought a lovely, very well marbled Save On butchers do not cut off all the lovely healthy fat) grass fed organic prime beef roast.   Contrary to what other butchers have told me, this grass fed beef is not lean at all.   The butcher told me that it depends on the breed.   More investigation and questioning of butchers required. 

Patrick cooked it as follows:

Brown the meat on all sides, using large tongs to turn and hold the meat on it's edge.
Put the roast and pan into the oven for about 30 minutes.
