    Chasing that little league dream, loving the season’s end is rapidly approaching. It’s been a big commitment this year, can’t wait to do it again in the fall

    Just threw away a whole spatchcocked chicken.  It was raw in the fridge.  I was dying out the skin.  I think 2 weeks.  Didn't want to chance it.

    Meat may have been a little wonky, or not, but I’ll bet you could’ve peeled that skin off in one piece and crisped the hell out of it.

    Replenishing energy after locking horns with this big green sprawling git. Today I won the battle, but I have far from won the war.  


    After graduating from college, I made a pit stop in Wales, then took a side trip to Oxford.

    Was on a tour of the university, and a docent told us this tale, of how an American tourist offered £10 to a groundsman at one of the colleges, to spill the secret of how they got the college lawn to look perfect.  Not a single blade of grass out of place. 

    Per legend, the groundsman looked him in the eye, pointed to the big lawn roller laying on the grounds, and said something like :
    “ You take one of those… and roll it for 400 years.”

    This is that 12’ x 29” x 2.75” sinker cypress slab I acquired.  Trying to figure out what to do with it, storing it for now.

    In my early Air Force years, I spent about a month in the Chatham-Gillingham area, doing a Maintenance Demo with Marconi Electronics.  I spent a lot of time just walking through the towns, and I admired how perfectly the grass lawns were groomed.  I'm pretty sure a few of the mowers were actually designed as hovercraft (no wheels), but I haven't seen them mentioned since.  
     
    Was that the case 35 years ago, or was it too many brain cells ago, or just an extremely vivid dream of mine at one point?

    Just cooked a really small (under 3 lb) bird in this new to me clay pot. It was air dried naked (as in no seasoning or salt) in fridge for two days, the skin turned translucent. Started lid on for 75 min in cold oven set to 450, finished with lid off for 5 min to crisp up. The skin was amazingly crispy.

    Love the clay pot. The chicken don’t look to shabby either 👍

    Thanks. The only down side with cooking this way is the soggy back and bottom.

    Costco Carries this.  It is a DELICIOUS and easy side if you don't want to buy and chop a bunch of stuff.  The kids can't stop eating it.  I am not a salad guy, but I think I could eat an entire bag in one sitting.



    swmbo found that at Kroger and has been locked onto it, pretty good stuff.

    Another vote for the dill crack. Good stuff for sure. 

    If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to space out your consumption. Overeating such things is like listening to a song on repeat - it’s not long before you hate it.
