"Sunday nights are very important for me because I spend all week cooking, cooking, cooking, and I don't want to cook any more. It's a chance for me to hang out with my son and have my wife, Kimberly, cook, which is really, really nice.
"On a recent Sunday we had roast chicken, which is my favourite meal of all time. My wife stuffed the chicken with herbs and bread and some quartered lemons. You got this citrusy-herby chicken-fat smell going through the whole house, which is just the best smell in the world. All the love going on there is amazing.
"With that, she served mashed potatoes. She roasts Yukon gold potatoes with lots of olive oil, makes them really nice and crispy, then she crushes them. She mushes in butter and olive oil and cream. It's just silly amazing good. The skin is the best part. It's so sexy.
"We had some beautiful beer: Blanche de Chambly. And then we had dessert: Kimberly made
a red velvet cake, one of her
specialties."
