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

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

disturbed275 - 2010-01-13 9:48 PM 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!

SWEET!!!

Thanks Robin!

wgraves7582 - 2010-01-14 8:28 AM Morning everyone.  Got a nice little workout in this morning.  Back to swimming - doc found an minor ear infection Monday night so I was on drops for a couple of days.  Fun times.

I have decided I totally disdain aqua-jogging and it will take a lot of bad news to get me at that point again!

Kim - I hear you there.  I am not a great swimmer but there are some out there a whole lot worst.  I always play the negative side unfortunately and wish I could be like the great swimmers - they make it look so easy!

But then again I might make it look so easy to someone else and I think they are crazy

Let's plan to pop the cork Sunday evening after Ann and Tom's half marathons!

ironannekidd - 2010-01-14 2:46 AM 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.

well wishes on the travel and race Ann(e).  I cannot believe it is here already.  We discussed this in our first challenge month didn't we - seems so long ago

Bet the kids will love having you home!

Sounds delicious Ann! I will definitely be trying this soon.

I remember those days - now I get can I have a ride and a couple of bucks to go see my friends.  I was warned these days were coming but I didn't believe them.  Enjoy them while they are like that Ann(e)!
