Thursday # 520... I love Thursdays!

No, I have just used lemon slices.

Let's make a few birds and see what comes out best - thanks for the tip!

DONE!

Use no water - just the orange juice in place of it - and of course any spices you care to toss in. I also sprinkle the outside of the bird with lemon and pepper seasoning after I coat with Pam or olive oil.

OOOOhhh, any 'beer in the rear' chicken left???? Never tried it but it sounds good.

MOFF - you don't know what you're missing.They're so simple to make - you should try one - and there are tons of variations in the recipes which you can find on line. You can make up your own, too. Just Google "beer butt chicken" or "drunkin chicken" for ideas. The moistest chicken you will ever eat - guaranteed. I like them best cooked on the grill, but the oven works just fine too.

Guess what I'm fixin' for dinner tomorrow night???

Thursdays is going to be names to the Surgeon General's most wanted list if we keep this up.

Thankfully for me, the menu for the next 2 weeks is set, so I can blithely ignore the temptation to try it.

Too bad LH - I was going to invite you to dinner. Blame Richard - he started it. I had already gotten a chicken out to thaw this a.m. before I ever read this. Hadn't decided how I was going to fix it - he just made my choice easier

OOOOhhh, any 'beer in the rear' chicken left???? Never tried it but it sounds good.

Beer in the rear? I like it.

Yes, there always is plenty to go around.
Done!

Pom,

Let us know how you put it together - and how it turns out!

LH,

Don't get into trouble on my part...... Wait for warmer weather and pick up some mesquite charcoal, wood chips and go for it......



The Surgeon General warns that nothing served at Thursday's has any health benefits or dangers?

And can we have a moment of silence for Mr Alleman?

'round these parts we call it beer butt chicken...

Anyway, I'm having some tuna salad with salt & pepper chips - takers? Maybe a nice glass of Riesling?

[pomtzu]

Darn!!! No beer butt or orange butt chicken here tonight. Thought I had o.j. - I don't - no beer either. So I just split the bird in half, gave him an oil rub down, and gave him a hearty sprinkle all over of powdered garlic, black pepper and paprika, and he's in the oven along with a casserole dish full of scalloped potatoes. I'll fix some peas and bake the crescent rolls while the bird rests - and that will be our supper tonight. Not too shabby I guess..........

A Toast to the fisheries management people! A drink, too, as it's hard to imbibe buttered burned bread.

The good news is we get to go deep sea fishing this year.

The perplexing news is that there's no real change in limits, (I'll spare the crowd the gory details), but they're claiming the new rules are going to reduce the catch by 77%.

As the boat captain posted on his website, we wonder why Washington can't balance the budget?

In any case, a round for the house.

Maybe they are only going to let one boat (with a pal of theirs as captain) go fish!!! They can then catch the entire quota the government sets without cutting down on their usual quota. They never said they wouldn't cut down on the number of fishermen after all.
