LIMA - For two weeks the warmth emitting from the Pan Am Games took the bite out of the winter chill in the Peruvian capital but as they drew to a close on Sunday, some cold, hard questions about the future of the multi-sport showcase hung heavy in the air.
“You know, we are not perfect,” said Lima 2019 president Carlos Neuhaus during the final news briefing.“These days have been difficult. But finishing this great effort that not many people thought would be possible, I thank you.” Three gold medals had given Peru their best ever Games four years ago in Toronto but they nearly matched that tally in the opening hours in Lima when Gladys Tejeda and Christian Pacheco swept the marathon titles.
“The main sports in Peru are football and volleyball then surfing, so now we have opened the opportunity for all the young kids to do other things.”Next to host the Games in 2023 is Santiago with the countdown for the Chilean capital starting in earnest on Sunday. The United States once again dominated the show with 120 gold, more than double the tally of Brazil in second place, and 293 total medals.
The biggest story to come out of the two week competition for the U.S. media were the podium protests by two of their gold medalists.

One-Pan Roasted Chicken with Sherry Vinegar Sauce Recipe on Food52This recipe is featured in the story, The One-Pot Chicken I’ve Been Making on Repeat for a Decade, sponsored by Bosch. Adapted from a favorite recipe in Sally Schneider's A New Way to Cook. Having learned from Diana Henry's Moroccan Chicken and Rice recipe that the chicken need not be browned before throwing everything in the oven, I tried the method with Sally's chicken. It worked beautifully. The only trick is to skim the fat off the sauce at the end while the chicken rests, which leaves you with a tasty, rich, concentrated sauce, perfect for mopping up with bread. I like serving this with a green salad on the side.
