[Queen of Poop]

Happy V day all. One more work day then a 3 day weekend. Could I get a cup of tea please? Lady honey, I brought doggie treats!

[Karen]

I'll make another pot o' tea, and I know Lady will exchange snuggles for treats!

[Lady's Human]

At the moment Lady will exchange snuggles for someone to defend her tail against a certain orange and white fuzzball.

[Queen of Poop]

Come here Patch, I just got a brand new laser pointer for the kitties!!!

[Lady's Human]

Ummmm.....

Might I suggest running for the hills?

Patch and a laser pointer? EEEEK!!!!

In the meantime, I think I'm going to have an Irish coffee.....after all, it's 5 o clock somewhere!

[Pinot's Mom]

Tea, chocolate and a day off here. Hubby went off on his annual winter camping trip with the boys this morning, so it's just me & Pinot. Have a great day, everyone!

[Karen]

Tea and chocolate - I'll join you for that! Though today is the Banana Bread Day, in honor on Uncle Mac's birthday, but my bananas are not yet ripe enough, so I'll have to celebrate that a day or two late!

Hi everyone,

Let me refill the glasses, break out the catnip too.

I like to dose the cat and THEN play laser pointer. THE ABSOLUTE BEST is when they stop with their ears pinned back with those huge pupils........

I have to get the ORC to clear off the satellite dish -

The 'yule log CD' can bite me.

Let me cook up some brekkie and how's about THIS for later on?


Oven roasted chicken

I have done this a bunch of times and even tho it gets old, if you tweak the seasoning, you can make the best tasting birds....IT is based on the 'beer can chicken' so I can't take credit for the recipe.

Take an aluminum can, take the top off and put whatever herbs you want into it - I did rosemary, I wanted to put a few slices on lemon, but I used it on an earlier dinner!
Set it aside...


Take a whole chicken, wash and prepare it like you are going to roast it on it's side, I usually give it a lite coat of olive oil and season it with what you like. Stick the can into the bird, open end first. Stand the chikin up in an oven save pot, then filll the can up with water.

You could use beer or wine and fill the can before you put in in the bird, but it's easier doing it afterwards. Lightly cover with a piece of foil.

Heat up the oven to about 400-425 and cook for about an hour and 20 minutes, I use a thermometer to make sure it's done (170 degrees).

Let it rest and cut it up. I put the juices into the fridge to get the fat out and plan to use it as a base for some gravy later on.

While I had the oven going I made some packets of veggies in foil, stuck them in the oven for the last 20-25 minutes...

*sitting down to protect Lady's tail from a happy, active kitty* I'm drinking tea while I'm guarding Lady's tail -- it is cold out in Chicago tonight.

[RICHARD]

Bowls of soup for everyone....and hot bread and butter too.

I woke up this morning in a 'bread coma' from last night. u7

Ed finished the sentence for me....

Spoons for everyone!!!

Done.

[Lady's Human]

I hoped you'd have spoons, after all, you just can't eat hot soup with your bare hands.
