Third time luckyearly age readerYeah, me either Jillar - wot's a Sport House and ..... Wot's Henry Potter? Anyway, I'll gladly take #3 cuz there would be no point in protesting something that the school would never install anyway. Coffee for students? I think not.Speaking of chicken ....... the wife took off today to go see he sister and told me to order pizza or whatever. Didn't feel like take-out so decided to cook me some chicken thighs on the BBQ. First of all was the brine to soak the raw chicken thighs in for a few hours before cooking. 1 quart water; 1/4 cup Kosher Salt plus a bunch of spices. May have added a couple shots whiskey too. After brining the chickens in the fridge for about 4 hours it's time to put some dry rub on them, front & back then into a cooking pan with a stick of melted butter. Turn the BBQ on and get the temp to 300F Close the lid and go have a beer while that chicken simmers in the meted butter and dry rub spices: Check the internal meat temp after about 3/4 hour. It's gotta be 165 degrees at least. 119.6 degrees; not ready yet: When they're up to temp. it's time to sauce 'em and caramelize that sweet glaze by cooking direct on the grill for another 5-10 mins. Last step is to plate it with some mashed spuds and a little cauliflower with cheese sauce and dig in! Brining the chicken pieces before cooking makes that meat melt in your mouth tender and simmering in a butter bath with dry rub adds a subtle flavor to the meat that you just can't get with standard BBQ chicken. It's more time consuming than ordering a Pizza for sure but in the end, it was pretty yummyNOPE! It's against the rules!Tragic news Doreen. Sincere condolences to you and your family. You will all have each other to lean on during this difficult time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.Nope!OK so it's like 2:30 AM in Mumbai so it's Official!! Tammy is 11 months quit today - YAY!! Be sure to celebrate today Tammy because you have worked hard to get here and we are all very proud of the job you've done so, go treat yourself, even if it's not anything expensive. Oh and, you are only 1 more month from us welcoming you onto the Lido Deck too! That reminds me. I will have to check on the condition of the Lido. That last one was a wild affair. I'll get back to you later on that - Cheers TammyI did that with grocery shopping! Went out once and left 3 or 4 bage at the store somehow. Haven't had to do the shopping since and that was probably 20 years ago 😎Hey! I love a good Road Atlas when doing a road trip. Nice to see what's around on the way by. Getting from A to B is easy and I also use apps and what not for that but a map has so much more info. And yes! If you are out hiking or doing anything in the Boonies, you need a good Topo Map. Fishing, hunting, hiking whatever. Cell signals can get scarce out in the woods. Most of the maps we made in the past 10 years were GPS compatible. We would grid our maps not only to roads and place names but also to a UTM grid which you can match to your GPS (not Long/Lat but UTM which is more accurate; Universal Transverse Mercator). That way you could use both in conjunction with each other.Yeah - I've seem footage of kids like 6 or 7 puffing away in Indonesia. Disgusting! I went to Europe a few years ago and was shocked at how many smokers there still were (and I was a smoker then too). Also, here in Canada, the Province of Quebec is very bad for smoking. Up until a year ago you could still get smoking rooms in some hotels. A lot of French Canadians smoke like crazy. One of their own Provincial party leaders was a chain smoker. Never saw him without a smoke in his mouth. Oh .... guess what? He's dead now 😞Interesting stuff. I have no idea about this new way of smoking that is sweeping over the younger generation in particular and promoting itself as the "safer" alternative to smoking cigarettes. Sounds dangerous in terms of getting even more addicted, if that's possible?
