Hopefully that&#8217;s the last of the ruined weekends for a while.  We did get out Saturday night for a few hours.  Some friends were singing down in Folsom, and we wanted to catch that show.  Normally I would have immediately declared it too far out of my circle, but as it happened I had to be in EDH at 9:00 pm for work, so why not mix in some fun prior to the not-fun.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday I was couched all day.  Those all-nighters at the datacenter just ain&#8217;t my thing anymore.  My excitement for the whole day was grilling a chicken, following a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/barefootcontessa.com\/recipes\/tuscan-lemon-chicken\" target=\"_blank\">recipe<\/a> I came across last week.  Not gonna lie, preparing the spatchcock chicken has intimidated me for many years.  I&#8217;ve watched youtube videos, read countless directions, but never got up the courage to give it a try.  Turns out it&#8217;s not quite the complex process I had in my head.  Two minutes with a meat cleaver did the trick.  Add that to the life skills list I guess.  The recipe came out good, with one quibble.  I put the weight on it while it cooked, per the instructions, using a bacon press as it happens.  Of course that didn&#8217;t let the skin brown under the weight, leaving a big ol&#8217; white spot right in the middle of the nice crispy brown skin.  Flipping it helped, but it didn&#8217;t get evenly browned by any stretch.  I might skip that part next time, not convinced it was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugh, had to work again last weekend.
