These are two simple recipes that I’ve found myself repeating over and over and will continue for the rest of my life.Chicken BrothMy whole chicken recipe is largely from America’s Test Kitchen mammoth cookbook. I’ve done a number of their whole chicken recipes. While I enjoy many of them, on the flipside, too many are too involved and can’t be done on any given night. I like this recipe the best because it is so simple. I’ve just provided a basic method for preparation, but your bird could be seasoned anyway you prefer. In my case, the best part is that I now have chicken for the rest of the week, and it feels a lot healthier than that rotisserie stuff you get at the grocery store.The second part to this recipe is the broth, which I begin making directly after dinner. Being aware that making broth is one of the easiest things in the world to do, I’d realized I’d never actually done it. Once I did, I was a convert. If I am a case study, it is never too late to start. There’s a lot of leeway too in how you make the broth, so experiment with ingredients. The ingredients I’ve listed are for an all-purpose one.Preheat the oven to 450.Rub olive oil on the entire chicken; then season with salt (coarse Kosher salt if you have it) and ground pepper. Tie the chicken legs together with cooking string, put the wings behind the back, and place in a cast iron pan1. Once the oven is heated, cook the chicken for 25-35 minutes, and until the thickest part of the breast registers 120 and the thighs 135.Turn the oven off, let the chicken sit in the oven for another 25-35 minutes, and until the thickest part of the breast registers 160 and the thighs 175. Remove the chicken from the oven, and let it rest on a cutting board for another 20 minutes. Carve the chicken. Put the carcass in a crockpot.Add one halved and peeled onion, 1 carrot, 1 stalk of celery, 5 or so sprigs of flat leaf parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and enough water to cover the chicken (about 10 cups). Cook on low over night.Put a cheese cloth over a large mixing bowl and secure it with a rubber band; strain the broth.Pour yourself a tasty cup and freeze the rest.I’m not even going to say this is a recipe, it’s a no brainer. Again, it’s never too late to start! I love cold unsweetened tea, and it so wonderful to have a couple sips in the morning before breakfast, or a glass in the afternoon.Put in two teabags. (I like PG Tips.) Fill the container with water, and let it steep for 24 hours. Add lemon and/or sweetener if you prefer; I just like mine unsweetened with no frills. Never buy store bought iced tea again.Use only a cast iron pan because it will retain heat and continue to cook the chicken once the oven is off. Rewatched Manhunter (1986) last night; not as good as I remembered, but enjoyable, particularly and still for its style. In the ‘80s, if a killer had access to your photos home movies (cuz they worked at the photo lab), you were a goner. Just not too much of a plot twist these days.1I tried to do the shrug ascii at the bottom of this post; doesn t work on WordPress I guess, but this 7 year old article is worth reading for other applications. As I stated in the July 4th, 2015 post, here are all the photos from July 4th, 2014.Looks like we did the normal thing 7 years ago. Ate crabs, etc. We also made Maryland Beaten Biscuits. I used to eat those growing up and hadn t had them probably since college. Now I haven t had them since we made them in 2014. Maybe this year we can make them again. Hopefully we can get together this year. We did get together this year and we did not make them.Tom also brought a drone. I don t think we got it stuck in a tree.Pictures (mostly of Poot) from this year will be uploaded in the coming weeks on a daily basis.Click on the picture to go to the flickr album. Nothing like 6 years late on this! Here are a few pictures from July 4th, 2015. Finally got around to developing and scanning a bunch of old film. Many more pictures from July 4th, 2014 will follow at some point.Click on the picture to go to the flickr album. The Wicker Man II: Fowlpurgisnacht, is the sequel to the 1973 classic The Wicker Man, directed by Robin Hardy. The Wicker Man II: Fowlpurgisnacht follows Pete, who while in search of duck, discovers more than he bargained for, namely the Wicker Man 2. I frequently get asked my favorite film(s); I then wonder what the point of “favorites” are in the face of the vacuousness of the Internet and seals of freshness franken-barfed up by Rotten Tomatoes and the ilk. Shortly after, I remember that I have a long overdue post about a new ‘reviewing method’. It is an arcane method, that along its way addresses things like fresh.com aggregators, but it’s also a more human system and thus better than all the others in the known universe. This much I can attest to.Until I publish ‘that’, what proceeds is my list of films for the year 2020 that I feel everyone should watch or rewatch in said year. The selection is from an introduction to film studies class I taught, and it was guided by Kanopy, which the school has a subscription too, meaning students could watch the films at no additional cost. It also means that if your local library has access to Kanopy, you can watch these films as well. The one exception is Akira, which can be streamed on Hulu, even for free if one just signs up for the 7 day trial.While there are different reasons for positioning some of the films where they fall, the ordering is primarily by formal topic.I keep thinking I’ll start a new site at some point and post stuff like this on it rather than Protozoic. I haven’t made that site yet, so here you go. If you are trapped at home for the holidays, now you have my list of films to watch that I genuinely recommend beyond a point of favorites — because let’s face it, favorites are daft.Silent Comedy Fatty and Mabel Adrift (1916), Mabel Normand and Fatty Arbuckle, One A.M. (1916), Charlie Chaplin, One Week (1920), Buster Keaton; (intro) Rashomon (1950), Akira Kurosawa; (narrative) Pather Panchali (1955), Satyajit Ray; (mise-en-scène) Daughters of the Dust (1991), Julie Dash; (cinematography) Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016), Taika Waititi;(editing) Suspiria (1977), Dario Argento; (Halloween) Playtime (1967), Jacques Tati; (sound) The Hitch-Hiker (1953), Ida Lupino; (all formal categories) Akira (1988), Katsuhiro Ôtomo; (all formal categories) The Lure (2015), Agnieszka Smoczynska; (all formal categories) To close down Halloween 2020 and in a futile gesture to send off hell, last night we watched A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). I have no idea what the poster is, why the cat is wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and catching or deboarding1 a trolly. Was Anne H. Ahrens, the set decorator of the film, predicting the Internet? Until the future arrives and we have the answer, see you in memes.A Cat Deboards
