On the pre-cooking menu for this evening:

Boring baked chicken breasts (meat, olive oil, Mrs. Dash). I wasn't feeling terribly creative.
Ismail Merchant's Yogurt Chicken from the Newman's Own Cookbook.

I don't cook out of the Newman cookbook very often because the recipes tend to be fairly involved, and goodness knows they're not WW-approved. But this looked too good to pass up, and it smells FANTASTIC. It's basically onions, chiles, cloves, ginger, chicken legs, and yogurt. The only weird part was that you're supposed to sear the chicken before you add the yogurt, and I simply do not have a pan big enough to sear 8 chicken leg quarters all at once. So I did them in batches; we'll see if there's a noticeable difference once it's done (it's still simmering - gotta take it off in a minute).

Also boiled a dozen eggs to devil to take for break-fast on Monday evening. I'll do the actual devilling tomorrow evening.

OK, I definitely need a) a bigger pot and b) a heavier-bottomed one, because I couldn't stir the chicken effectively enough, and there's a good layer of blackened onions and chiles on the bottom of the pot. Still smells good, though. Next time I'll make a half-recipe.
