I'm sure you've heard of it, and maybe you've tried it.. but if you havent.. now is the time.
Beer can chicken. This was so freaking delicious, it might possibly have been the best thing I've ever made. And to be not so humble for a minute, that's saying something.
The recipes you find on the web say to dry rub the chicken. I did it differently.
I got a 3 to 4 pound whole chicken (actually, got 2 of them for $7.50 from BJs club)
I used a store bought marinade mix, chipolte pepper - but instead of following the directions, I just used the powder in the packet, and added apple cider vinegar instead of water and about 3 big spoons full of fresh garlic (the kind you buy in a jar).
Put it in a big ziploc bag and marinaded for 2 days.
Then, you heat up your grill as hot as you can, then shut off one side (or, move the coals over if you are using charcoal)
open a beer, drink half, and then stick the can in the chicken's cavity. Now stand up the chicken, using it's legs and the can as kindof a tripod, and close the lid. I checked on it a few times, but probably didnt even have to. In about 1 hour, I had an internal temperature of 180. Brought it in, let it rest for about 10 minutes, then chopped it in half and served one side for me, one side for my wife.
So freaking good You must try this at least once this summer.
I'm not sure if it will make a difference, but next time I will put a little ball of tin foil in the neck cavity, so the steam from the beer will have more of an effect.
My helpdesk gal is on vacation, that means that I get to try to do my job while dealing with the crap that she has to do.
At least from my experience the last couple of days, 80% of her time must be spent resetting passwords and unlocking accounts.
I make them remember TWO damned passwords. One semi-complex that they only have to change TWO FREAKING TIMES A YEAR, and one that is basically as simple as a pin number.
And by 9:30am, I've had to reset 3 of them and unlock 4 others.
IS IT THAT FREAKING HARD?
Do you know how many passwords I have to remember?
I probably couldnt even count, but just quickly thinking about it I can think of about 15. I'm sure there's 50 more that I don't use so often.
This is just a "hello world" post. I just decided that maybe I should give VOX a try, so..
10 print "Hello World"
