  • Obama Vows to Cut Budget Waste
    President-elect Barack Obama vowed on Tuesday to cut waste in a federal budget that “bleeds billions,” to help offset the costs of the huge stimulus package his team is planning.
    Yeah, right.  I’ll believe it when I see it.  Government never does with a dime less, even in the midst of an economic crisis.
  • D.I.Y. Hot Sauce
    Pour in enough white vinegar to submerge the chiles, along with a handful of salt. Puree until quite smooth. Transfer the sauce to a pot and bring to a boil, stirring once or twice. Seriously: at no time during either of these steps do you want your nose or eyes anywhere near the fumes that waft from these vessels. Funnel the sauce into a clean jar or bottle and cool.
  • ‘ACLU Solstice Barn’ substitutes for Nativity
    “We’ve got Gary and Joseph instead of Mary and Joseph in order to symbolize ACLU support for homosexual marriage, and of course there isn’t a Jesus in the manger,” said Tony McDonald, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas branch on the Austin campus.

Thanksgiving

Who says you have to serve Turkey for thanksgiving dinner? If you’re serving a smaller group of people, consider drunken chicken instead.

Ingredients

Drunken Chicken

  • 1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken
  • 2 bottles hard cider (I use Woodchuck Amber)
  • one empty soda can
  • extra virgin olive oil (EVO)
  • Montreal chicken seasoning
  • 1/2 Onion

Glaze

  • 1/2 bottle hard cider (I use Woodchuck Granny Smith)
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • water

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Wash the chicken in hot water and dry thoroughly. Season the cavity with Montreal chicken seasoning and stuff an onion in the neck to prevent the steam from escaping during cooking. Rub the outisde of the chicken with EVO and season all over with Montreal chicken seasoning. Set the soda can in the middle of the roasting pan and fill it halfway with hard cider. Position the chicken cavity over the soda can and push down until the chicken is firmly seated. It should look like it is ready to “dance.” Pour the rest of the hard cider into the roasting pan.
