Re: whats your favorite way to roast a chicken? - Yesterday

QuoteTiangou At the Friars Club, but I hear the Hollywood Palladium isn't too bad. ... First spatchcocked turkey and chicken were last year and they were too much work and while on the whole the results were very good, they weren't better than I get with the old standard.

Re: Any recommendations for a Dutch Oven? - 2 days ago

Part of the weight is the size, a 7 qt Dutch Oven will be heavier than a 6 qt one by 5-6 lbs. The lid made to also be usable as a grill pan on top of the stove adds a bit more weight, it will be thicker than one made just to be a lid. And yes you can have flame directly on the porcelain enamel, it would take temperatures near 1000 degrees to damage it. At most it may slightly discolor over t

There's a dividing line? I like both and have since I was young. Though I have lived most of my life in the Northeast, I have family connections to the South where sweet potato pie originates from.

Yes, at his point the evidence is there of his treasonous activity but no court determination of his guilt. As the 14th Amendment does not give details on how that is to be determined, but left that up to Congress, under the current laws still active courts are deciding on whether they have jurisdiction and not his guilt or innocence.
