Hey, I wanted some expensive bronzing cream, not butter!  But come to think of it, butter is pretty good.  Especially on popcorn...Mmmmmmmmmm… (Teresa drifts off into butter-drenched fantasy)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...I’ve never seen a better looking group of chicks or is it gaggle of chicks?  Anyway, I am certain that Christina won’t be left alone with the blog power tools again after this.  In the mean time, I’d advise standing far from Christina lest the blog gods decide to smote her making her Blackened Chicken.<BR><BR>Hmmm....I haven’t had Blackened Chicken in a while.....

OK, Kim, coming at ya..<BR>Beer Can Chicken<BR>1 4lb or larger whole chicken<BR>1 12ox can of beer, any brand<BR> seasoning for chicken (blackening or some such is nice)<BR><BR>Preheat grill to 375F or 400F<BR>Remove plastic and giblet pack from chicken and save or discard.<BR>Spread chicken with seasonings.<BR><BR>If your grill has two burners heat only one, If it has 3 heat the two on the outsides and do not turn on the middle burner..<BR><BR>Open beer can (can add a garlic clove to beer, if you wish) and insert the full beer can into the chicken (so that the chicken is standing upright with the can inserted into it, really)<BR><BR>Stand the chicken upright on the burner of the grill that is NOT lit. The beer can should bit snugly in the chicken so that the chicken does not fall over. Close the grill and cook the chicken for appr. 2 hr. or until done..<BR>good luck!<BR>Not sure who came up w/this one!!<BR><BR>Pre

Hey, Kim, you can also marinade chicken in beer.  We do that all the time. Just add whatever spices you like to the beer, and let the chicken sit in it overnight (or at least all day). It’s really, really good.<BR><BR>Have a great holiday, everyone!

Connie, you look so cute and wholesome sitting on your can.<BR><BR>And beer cans straight into the guts. In that case, I might even try pale ales, since I won’t have to taste ‘em. <BR><BR>Basting grilling meat in beer is the Milwaukee tradition I grew up with. Too bad they use Miller. Now ambers or stout, yuummmm...<BR><BR>Off topic… Christina, thank you so much for mentioning your Alphasmart on your blog. That was the first time I’d heard about it. I researched about the Web, and now am a proud owner of a Neo and very happy with it.

You’re welcome, Keira! Aren’t they wonderful? My Neo goes everywhere with me, and I pretty much write my books on it. Of course, I edit on the computer (and there’s always a lot of editing), but it just helps for getting the story down, doesn’t it?

Thanks for the Funny Bird Blog, Christina. After Lisa’s Thorn Bird Blog I needed it.<BR>I was in a fowl, make that foul mood. The last lines of McCullough’s The Thorn Birds always leave me feeling haunted …and so sad.
