24 August 79 CE - VESUVIUS AWAKES, DARKENING SKIES AND BURYING CITIES:
An ash and cinder plume rockets into the afternoon sky of southern Italy
as Mt. Vesuvius erupts with a terrifying force, killing tens of
thousands in Pompeii with searing heat and burying them in ash where
they lay. The eruption's flows also consume the city of Herculaneum.

      Title: Chicken Vesuvius
 Categories: Poultry, Potatoes, Herbs, Wine
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
    1/4 c  Olive oil
      8 cl Whole garlic
      5 lb Whole chicken; cut-up or
           - parts
      8    Potatoes; peeled, quartered
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      1 ts Dried rosemary **
    1/2 c  White wine
 
  Heat olive oil in oven proof skillet. Add whole garlic
  cloves, saute until cloves are a golden brown on all
  sides. When garlic is brown remove from pan and set
  aside.
  
  Add chicken pieces to skillet, cook until skin is brown
  (chicken will not be done yet).
  
  Add quartered potatoes to the pan, fitting around and
  between chicken pieces. Return garlic cloves to the pan
  also fitting around chicken and potatoes. Season all
  with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle rosemary over
  all. Add white wine around edges of skillet so as not to
  wash off spices from chicken and potatoes.
  
  Bring to a simmer on top of the stove, then cover
  skillet and place in a 400ºF/205ºC oven. Cook until
  chicken is very tender and potatoes are soft, about
  35-40 minutes.
  
  * If using new red potatoes the skin can be left on.
  
  ** Fresh rosemary may also be used in this dish,
  increase amount to 1 tablespoon.
