The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 22)

There is a little girl in Pennsylvania who is severely irritating her mother and she is about to go to bed without having her homework finished.

Would a glass of wine with Robin help? 

Yes, I think it would. Are we riding down to Robin's together or should I just meet you there?

This user's post has been ignored.

We can all meet at Robin's tomorrow after work.

Let's meet there.  I got distracted cooking chicken for the *old* cat.  Order me a nice cabernet.  See you in a few.

I wish I would have known, I could have saved you the trouble. I made beer butt chicken for dinner, substituting lemonade for the beer. There are leftovers.

Got my 5 mile run in around the lake today.  50* rainy windy.   The park is not at its prettiest, but it sure beats indoors!  Have a great evening, Ghoulies!

Darn.  Beer butt chicken would have saved the day.  Somehow my tofu pad thai doesn't do it for the carnivores in the house.

Very jealous! An *ugly* park beats the tready or drainer any day of the week.  Great job getting out there.

Sorry the run was crappy.  Hope the wine evens things out!

I have to ask what exactly beer butt chicken is.

You piqued my interest with beer.  And chicken.  And maybe a little with butt

Nice run!  50s and rainy sounds great to me right now

I may be a little scarce in the coming days Ghoulies.  I'm heading out to Palo Alto, CA to visit my sister.  Looking forward to getting out of the cold for awhile!

Neal, it's ok......she *had you with butt.*

I'm intrigued as well. Do share Ann!

Have fun up there Neal! I doubt the Bay area will be balmy right about now, but it'll be a lot better than the Iowan tundra!

Well just got another swim done...wooo

AND!!! The Olympic Torch went through Edmonton today! I was driving downtown going to practice and was stopped by the police because the parade was coming through....I saw the torch!! WOOOO!!!

Very cool Melissa! I'd love to see the running of the torch someday.

COOL!!

My sister got to carry the torch years ago when the winter Olympics were in Salt Lake. She had a short stretch in Carmel, CA. Coke sponsored her, paid for her outfit and the torch. She still displays the torch in her living room and she's moved 3 times since. I'm the best sister, I nominated her!

Beer butt chicken...

You take a can of something: beer, lemonade, orange juice, tea, whatever, and you sit the chicken on top of the can. You can then cook the chicken in the oven, or even on the grill, if you have a large enough grill (this is my preferred method although last night I just used the oven). As the liquid evaporates it rises up through the chicken providing yummy flavor and leaves you with a very juicy end product instead of a dry bird.

When I do it I generally use between a half and 2/3 full can of liquid, you really don't need a full can. I also have a little holder that I sit the can in and it holds the can and chicken nicely. I also rub some seasoning inside of the chicken, and pour some in the can. I also coat the outside of the chicken as well, last night I used Creole rub. I've used Old Bay, Poultry Seasoning, and Lemon Pepper as well, but whatever you like. That's it, pretty simple. Try it, experiment, enjoy.

Here is a recipe as a sample:

If you try this and you would use beer, I recommend only half a can and maybe water it down a little. I have found beer to create a VERY strong beer flavor in the chicken.

Good morning everyone!

Morning everyone

How cool to see the torch. Nice accident. How cool to actually know, let alone  be related to some one who carried it. Nice sister indeed.
