Can't wait to get our telescope out again, just need a clear sky

NT used a slightly more spattery roller today, and ended up looking a bit like the night sky. I was thinking of ringing Prof Cox to come and look wistfully at him.

While you look wistfully at Prof Cox?

Going to see Les Mis tomorrow

And can't wait for the lolcat version:

 

[TheDoctor]

I actually LOLed at that!!
Oh dear, I've just seen the time. Must go and get my Beer-Can Chicken on the go...

Not sure whether to or

 

[TheDoctor]

I shall give you a verdict later.
The idea is that the chicken steams on the inside, so you get loads of moist succulent meat. It roasts on the outside, so you get loads of crispy seasoned skin.
Plus I get a now !

Recipe says you can use half a tin of baked beans instead and then serve the butt beans as a side dish. Wrong on so many levels.

 

[TheDoctor]

Eat butt beans?
That sounds very, very wrong.

I have something new to play with. My sister brought me one of these that she found in Homebase:

I just need something to try it out on now. A fully retroreflective bike seems quite appealing.

If I can see you from a mile off next weekend I will know that you have tried it as hairspray

 

[TheDoctor]

Go to Macdonalds, Doc, it'll be healthier and tastier

We shall see...

While you look wistfully at Prof Cox?

Oh no, he's not my type.

 

[Arch]

I know he's clever and articulate but I find him a tad too smarmy for my liking (Brian Cox, I mean)

NT pointed out watching Stargazing Live the other night, that he's not all that articulate, when not scripted. He ums and ahs a lot and doesn't finish sentences.

I do like him on the radio, on The Infinite Monkey Cage. He's always willing to make fun of himself.

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, there it is.
I rubbed the chicken all over with chilli oil, then a generous layer of garlic salt, herbs and pepper.
Crack the tinny, pour half the contents into a glass and up-end the chook onto the tin. Into the oven for 90 mins, with the par-boiled spudsies and stuffing balls going in at T-20.
And it was fantastically good (said he, modestly). Tender, moist, falling-off-the-bone meat, and acres of crispy tasty skin. I shall never roast a chicken any other way
I could have poured more of the beer out beforehand though. Maybe 2/3 into the glass next time...
