Junior Pigeon Podcast - Episode 5

It has been a long time since we last podcasted! Sorry about that. We aim to do better in the future. Today’s podcast is extra fantastic to make up for the lack of podcasts over the last many months. It’s a conversation with Jill Fredericks, Laura MacKenzie and Vincenzo Ravina.

Topics covered:

  • Marie: Everyone’s middle name?
  • Santa Claus: a hoax
  • Jill is uncomfortable with Michael J. Fox playing his own daughter in Back to the Future Part II
  • Does Jill have scars?
  • A rousing match of Would You Rather…?
  • and more!

Recorded March 2012 in Laura MacKenzie’s kitchen.

Finally got around to editing another installment of our Europe trip. This is Barcelona! What a lovely place. Although this is the only place where we had someone try to steal from us. I managed to stop the thieves by yelling, ‘HEY.’ The rest of our time there was pleasant and enjoyable though!

New podcasts are coming soon to Junior Pigeon as well!

When Laura and I were in Florence, I wanted us to have the best Florentine steak we could find. I did some Googling and decided we’d try Trattoria Sostanza. In my Googling, I read a review that mentioned that their chicken was incredible, as well. The restaurant does two seatings per night, at 7 pm and 9 pm. We made reservations for 7 and found the place, which is rather small and plain. The seating is communal, so we sat with a family of five.

Laura and I ordered the Florentine steak and their petti di pollo al burro to share between us, along with some pasta as our first course. 

The Florentine steak was enormous and very good, but the chicken… oh, the chicken. So delicious. So incredibly delicious. So buttery and tasty and amazing. We loved it so much, we made reservations for supper the following night as well. And we didn’t bother with the steak again. Chicken all the way.

Rob Lowe knows what’s up. LITERALLY the best chicken.

We’ve wanted to recreate it at home for the longest time and we recently made the above attempt!

The fully detailed recipe is HERE.
