More About The Hair

You know you got a bad haircut when
you receive comments like these:

"Hey - you got a hair cut"

"Wow."

"Oh!"

(blank stare)

"New look, huh?"

"What did you do?"



Yeah, this haircut is pretty bad.

Dear John

Dear John (creepy little man who cuts my hair),
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING??
Seriously, dude - what is up with the chop??
You cut more than half my hair off yesterday!
Creepy John, I do NOT look good with short hair.
We have discussed this!
Were you on drugs?
Were you mad at me?
Was this just some cruel joke?
If so - YOU WIN my friend, you win.
Well, on the plus side -
I WON'T NEED A HAIRCUT FOR AT LEAST A YEAR!
Jerk.
Love,
Baldy McKibbins

Random Shots from the iPhone

Do you know what's on your camera phone?
I just snap away and forget about it.
Snap it and forget it!
Well, here's what I found:
Opening of new Apple Store.
Yes, we were there at 9am, waiting on line.
The employees line the entrance and cheer as you enter.
Please notice the guy lying on the ground.

I told Dylan I'd give him $10 if he ran in the door
pumping his arms.
He did.
I paid.

Discovering they sell tongue at the grocery store.
Yes, this is what I do, people.
I encourage this stuff.

Dylan ripping a phone book in half.

And, since he found out he could actually do this,
we haven't had an intact phone book in this house.

Dylan - the human sling shot.

I found this to be interesting.
My grocery store decided they needed an entire
refrigerator for Corona.

Party at Stop N Shop!

Hmmpphhhhffffff!

Just change Alexander to Kerry and we're all set.

Ahhhh.....Spring

Ahhhhh Spring.
The weather is nice and warm in NY.
Driving home, I noticed that all the
trees were in bloom.....
They were all coming out.....
All the trees.....
and all my old boyfriends.

Make This!

Made this chicken dish tonight.
So easy!
So good!
Make it and let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

Lemon Chicken

INGREDIENTS
3-4 pounds chicken parts (thighs and legs recommended), skin-on, bone-in, trimmed of excess fat
2 Tbsp lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp fresh chopped thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2-3 Tbsp melted butter
Lemon slices for garnish

METHOD
1 Place lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, whisk to combine.
With the tip of a sharp knife, cut into each chicken piece one or two times by about 1/2 an inch. (This will help the marinade penetrate.)
Place the chicken pieces and the marinade in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Rotate the bag so that all chicken pieces are coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in a bowl in the refrigerator (in case of leakage). Let marinate for 2 hours.

2 Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove chicken from marinade and place in a single layer in a large baking dish, skin side up. Reserve the marinade. Use a pastry brush to brush a little melted butter on to each piece of chicken.
3 Bake for a total of 50 to 55 minutes, until the skins are crispy brown, and the chicken is cooked through, juices running clear (breasts have an internal temperature of 165°F and thighs 175°F). Half-way through the baking, at about the 25 minute mark, baste the chicken pieces generously with reserved marinade.
Depending on the size of the breasts, they may be ready before the thighs, so if you are cooking a mix of chicken parts, keep that in mind, you may have to take them out of the oven before the thighs.
Let rest, covered in foil, for 10 minutes before serving.

4 Pour the juices from the pan into a serving bowl. Use a tablespoon to skim the fat off the top (save the fat for cooking with later, or discard, but do not discard down the drain or it will solidify and clog your drain). Serve the chicken with the juices on the side or a little poured over the top of the chicken.
Serves 4-6. Serve alone or with steamed rice.
