Holy cow, billytea. That is some epic drama.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Goodness, BT, quick and complete recovery to her--and may everything else sort out with the least possible upset and to the best result possible.

Good lord, billytea! Craziness. Best wishes to Wallybee's aunt for a quick recovery.

yikes BT! that is straight up crazee. Whew.
askye,
I usually roast mine at a higher temp than 350. You may want to do so given the larger size of your bird. I also have a straight up roaster so it does not lay flat in the pan.

Hey. New board.
Whoa. Drama indeed. Health ~ma to Aunt of Wallybee.

Gracious, billytea, what a mess.

Askye, Ina Garten has a good roast chicken recipe. Here is a video of the process and here's the recipe written out. You might want to add some potatoes cut into wedges to the vegetables underneath the chicken, and then you have a complete meal.
Sorry to hear about the family drama, BT.

Home for a little over an hour and my upstairs neighbor is throwing a huge tantrum. Can I go back to the beach now?

Thrive to spite them
Thanks Vortex! Oh it calls for fennel. I love fennel but don't have any but I can make a run to the store and get some.
I wonder if I could do sweet potato wedges instead of white potato. I have some I need to use up and I've had them with fennel and thyme before.
I'm probably going to have to lock Dean up in the bedroom while the chicken is resting and I'm trying to eat it. That cat is crazy for chicken and can't eat it and any time food shows up lately he acts like hasn't eaten in days and circles me like a shark.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Gracious, billytea, what a mess.
This is exactly what it is. I just don't even know. Wallybee's cousin is reportedly displaying no contrition for having created this utter clusterfrak either. (I would hope his mother landing in hospital revised his position somewhat.)
Thanks everyone for the good wishes. We've been telling Ryan that the bar for meeting our expectations of him just got a little easier to meet.
