Garlic & lemon chicken w green beans + red potatoes,
from a FB friend:
INGREDIENTS
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound trimmed green beans
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts (bones left in, with skin, about 3 1/4 pounds)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices. Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of the green beans. Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the dish or skillet. Pour any of the remaining olive-oil mixture over the chicken.
Roast for 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the dish or skillet. Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 10 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender. Place a chicken breast on each of 4 serving plates; divide the green beans and potatoes equally. Serve warm.

Haven't tried this, just saw it, but sounds like 'me.' Think I'd use skinned + boned chicken thighs, tho.

THANKS!
Now in Maryland suburb(s,) and have just leased this place as another 'option,' so will have 3 residences!
The cottage is closer to my daughter than the others, AS WELL AS being in such a lovely spot! Hard to believe, isn't it?? Will be available for 'move-in' in couple weeks, owner wants to have some interior painting etc. stuff done, but I MAY go over to check it out, determine what furniture I'll need to move into it, and bring my toothbrush, this weekend!
Hope to get a decent camera that will allow me to take better pics, and become a real show-off, pain in the butt here! Craigslist pics were taken by tenant who is in the process of moving out, and my little cell phone 'camera' doesn't do it justice AND doesn't allow me to post here (or anywhere, but in text-messages.) Have already taken a pic from window @ the kitchen sink! Imagine that! 'Kitchen sink with a view!'
Inviting 'nearby' DUers to visit and party WHENEVER! Where are you???
Never was a creative chef, but family day to day cook. Daughters have asked for 'old' recipes, that much I'll say. IF I do anything creative, would likely be for visitors! (DO have a great guacamole, but you probably don't want to hear about that, in Texas!)
Very happy to hear you're living happily with your Texan, and thinking of a retirement future. Keep Maryland in mind, if only for a visit! Lots of water around, and a big city or 2!!!
I think owner told me its about 100 years old. He and his family have owned the property for some time, 60 acres I think, corn growing on much of it. Has been rented to current tenants for 9 years. (I should say former tenants, as they were supposed to be out today!) Owner lived in it before that; has 16-year-old triplets, and they lived in it for 5 years, then moved a 'big' house onto the property from elsewhere nearby and have lived there (and in DC,) since.
Owner has a small airplane hangar, and a plane: http://www.city-data.com/airports/Mears-Creek-Airfield-Airport-Lusby-Maryland.html
REALLY small world! Tell me about your summers!!! And VISIT!
1 bathroom at top of very narrow stairs???!!!

just building/reno parts, so they rented from someone for like three or four years. (Or I am probably getting that wrong because I was "Little"
and I was born in a hospital in Baltimore, but they had to leave Lusby to get there, lol.)
I remember the waterfront being stoney like that, and that we would pick blackberries and blueberries and raspberries off the fences along a tree lined pathway/dirt road. The owners would let you have the ones that were growing on the outside of the fence.
And stingrays.
And this spongey, multicolored cake that was all the rage at the time. It's funny how food comes in and out of vogue.
"It feels like it, but doesn't look that much like it. King's Reach may have been torn down. I see pics of Point Farm on the net, but no pics of King's Reach"
It really does have that same 'feel'.
You're in Steny Hoyer country. 
about 70 miles away, with a friend. Also have a small apartment in Hagerstown, MD. That's about 130 miles from Lusby. Will stay for some amount of time in all 3 places, and the amount of time is QUITE uncertain! Do have to pick up mail in Hagerstown every month at least, and when weather is bad, like snow in Lusby, will probably be in Silver Spring, as dirt road to cottage won't be cleared of snow.
Estranged husband passed on, May 15, and as I'm in charge of estate (along with lawyer,) I have to be close to DC, to pick up husb's mail and arrange for things in his apartment to be disbursed (among me, daughters, and charitable organizations,) and finally end his lease. REALLY want to be done with that SOON, but its a 2-bedroom apartment full of stuff, including much from our home (which I left in 2006, and which he sold in 2008,) so its a real project. Visiting cottage this weekend to decide what of husb's furniture I want, so can start on list for daughters: I'm taking this, you and you want what, and how do we accomplish all of this, 1 mover, 2 movers, 3 movers, Goodwill??? 
One daughter lives about 30 miles from Lusby (which is why I looked for a place in Southern Maryland,) and hope to see her AND to receive help from her! (Other daughter, expecting baby in December, in NJ near Philly.)
ANYWAY, expect to spend some nights there after painting + work landlord wants to have done is accomplished, in a couple of weeks!
