If you saw the earlier useless video you know what this is about. After the birthday party I cooked a chicken. It was my first try with the rotis device on the new Weber. This recipe is from Weber's Big Book of Grilling. The results were good. I hate trying to marinade a whole chicken, it's always a pain.

Made ribs Saturday night. It was hardly an inspired effort. I cooked them on the gas grill, They were just okay.

I have been slacking. Here is last Saturdays Barbecue chicken. Got the recipe from a Weber EMAIL ! See email marketing does work.
This recipe is called "Triple Play Chicken" and can be found at www.webernation.com if you're a member. The rub and sauce are great. They both involve lemon and brown sugar, a couple of my favorites.

This may be the most useless video to ever hit the web. A complete waste of bandwidth. But I have never added a video to my Flickr account and I just wanted to see how it looked.

If there is one thing Andersen loves it's Pizza. So my plan for today was to spend a few minutes with Anders and let him help make his own pizza. We made a couple of pepperoni pan pizzas using the recipe featured in this season's America's Test Kitchen. I made the dough and then shaped it an added the sauce. He applied the cheese and pepperoni. They came out great and all of us enjoyed it for lunch.

The Support Of Friends

So I did manage to drag out the grills and cook a ton of stuff on the 4th. Really, I did. It's just that I forgot to record it for prosperity. Somewhere in the middle of cooking 2 Butts, One shoulder, 3 Chickens, 5 racks of Babybacks, and countless sausages etc. all at the same time.....there just wasn't time.
Anyway, this is where the support of friends comes in. My ex boss(best one ever) just recently purchased his first Weber kettle. Let me tell you, it's always great to hear a good "coming of age" story. He cooked his first beer can chicken this weekend and apparently it was a huge success. He was kind enough to supply me with this grill porn for posting.
