And he pulled out a chicken and he said, this is the easiest recipe for you. Just put it on a pan in an oven, a hot oven, because back then the ovens weren't necessarily like 400 degrees or 450 or whatever. And put it in a hot oven for one hour and enjoy. That was it. And so I went home and actually I also brought some French fries. I'll tell you that as well. I'm a kid.

Of course I want French fries. So the roast chicken was French fries. And the chicken came out and it was just fantastic. It was. Absolutely fantastic. That's incredible, by the way. You didn't screw it up the first time. First of all, I think that also kicks off the magic. If you screw it up and you're like, oh, maybe this is not for me. So for me, it really did kick it off.

You started out on a high note. Yeah, right, exactly. But I'll tell the French fry part, which was a disaster. So I cooked the French fries, but I didn't heat the oil first. So I just put the potatoes in the oil and I waited for it to heat up. And I just was throwing up later that night. Your body can't ingest that much because it sucks the oil then. Oh, wow. And so that was a disaster.
