Preserved lemon chicken with olives redux

If your day really really sucked, if, say, you spent the morning listening to testimony that illustrated some of the most depressing facts about modern society because you are a good person who doesn’t lie to get out of jury duty and then used your lunch hour to renew a residential parking permit only to be treated with rudeness and even contempt by not one but two city employees – the combination of which made you cry, weeping, all the way back to the courthouse where you spent the afternoon listening to more depressing testimony. And if, in putting out a fire with a client you lost track of time during the one hour you have to work between the courthouse closing and your kid’s child care shutting up shop and you had to race through rush hour traffic to get to school on time because your dashing husband is out of town and you knew your evening would be spent running a live chat for an online class before getting a few hours work done before finally going to bed, which is where you’ve wanted to crawl into all day long, you might want to take any chicken off the bones from any leftover preserved lemon chicken with olives you might be lucky enough to possess, heat it up in the leftover sauce, and pour that mixture over a hearty slice of toasted day-old bread. You might find it comforting, if but for a moment.
