The Carnivore Project

Roast Chicken

The traditional Sunday roast in my family isn't a joint, it's a chicken.  As much as I love roasting pork or lamb or beef on a quiet Sunday afternoon, they're simply not quite as meaningful for me as a good roast chicken.  So nothing could have delighted Jared and me more than to get a gorgeous free-range chicken (with giblets!) delivered from Abel & Cole.  (We previously met Abel & Cole while using their delicious vegetables for our Christmas dinner.)

I have to admit, I was leery at first.  I've roasted free-range chickens before and found them relatively lean and tasteless.  This chicken, however, must have led a very happy and tranquil life; it was one of the fattest, juiciest chickens I've ever had the pleasure of cooking.

Pointy!

With three years of posts and a shockingly high Google ranking, the Carnivore Project gets a lot of spam. Most of which is duly ignored.

This one, however, actually made me raise an eyebrow - and then register. Essentially, in turn for signing up for a catalogue of professional cookwares, you're entered in a drawing for $1000 worth of dangerously sharp Dexter-Russell knife-like objects. (US residents only - overseas, you're required to continue eating with your hands).

So, yes, future spammers of the world, take heart. This one worked.

End of Days

    The financial apocalypse has already taken out an entire country, 19 million homes are empty in the United States, and Disney is selling branded eggs.  Branded eggs.  You know, for kids.
