Hadn't cooked at home all week and wanted to make an ordeal
out of it. I thought this would be "fun", or at least very
original.

Severely violated chicken:

Veggies for the stuffing:

Sliced:

http://i32.tinypic.com/15iybp.jpg

The stuffing was boneless chicken thighs and breasts (from a
different chicken), shrimp, the veggies you see in the pan sautéed
in butter and Reisling, and some other stuff. But that was the gist
of it. Baked for 80 minutes at 3550-425F flipped twice to brown
evenly.

I don't know what you'd call it. Has anybody invented one of these
already?

Very interesting, though it looks like a lot of work. How did you season
it? What kind of sauce, or gravy did you serve with it?

Agreed, an inordinate amount of effort, unfortunately it doesn't look
very appetizing... looks more like the result of a Crystal Palace
nightmare! hehe And there's no way to even guess how it tastes, no
seasonings were mentioned. Were I going to make the effort to skin a
chicken I'd use it to make a kishka k'nish (perhaps stuffed with
peppery mashed spuds and fried onion mixture). Then I may use the
chicken meat and veggies to make a la king or pot pies... or for
creativity that looks edible perhaps grind the chicken and make a
terrine. Leave it to sqwertz to use a chicken hide to create a sack
of shit (doesn't even look fully cooked through)... he had to be
inebriated on something, or he'd not have added shrimp.

To be perfectly honest I'd have to say I think Sqwertz couldn't sfford
condoms so he skinned a chicken but the girl never showed. LOL

No problem. If I could have obtained a whole pig stomach, I would
have used that instead.

I'm a very adventurous cook.

If you weren't so cheap and could afford a real news server, you
could have seen the full description and more pics at
alt.food.binaries.

Anyway - your obvious jealousy is again noted. Go back to grilling
your mechanically separated chicken hot-dogs.

I make a stuffed Boneless chicken too, I saute Mushrooms and spinach
and add some cheese, sort of add to the shape by putting in a couple
of chicken breasts and roast. Delish.

Yours looks good too.

FYI Steve was bored so instead of buying a new pull toy for hisself he
decided to do some kr8tive netKKKopping...

We'll see if he's not too much of a smarmy coward to post the
details...but let's not hold our collective breaths, shall we...???

Sounds to me like something you would do. In any case, I use several nntp
servers, and always have. I'm used to a few if them being inconsistent. It's
usually the free ones.

So you remove the skin from a whole chicken, like Steve did?

Really?

Nope, I don't netKKKop, cyberpussy, and Steve admitted to doing just
this on another thread...

So direct your "inquiries" towards him...not that he'll answer you
here in public. Let's see how your pal Steve responds...

Really, what happened with it? It seems to be working just fine.

I just picked up two more free accounts, albisani and monster.

Both are pretty good so far. I've never paid for Usenet *or*
used Google for posting. No need.

I never remove the skin, instead I carefully remove the bones from the
legs, and thighs, then cut carefully ( this is best attempted with a
glass or two of wine) Carefully cut around the breast and remove the
bones, hard to explain this. The end result has a resemblence to a
sweater....

Make the stuffing and very carefully stuff the bird, using an extra
breast or two if you want to make it look better. Cover the outside
skin, with butter, some fresh rosemary, salt and pepper
Roast on Hig heat maybe 425 for a little while, skin is brown and
gorgeous, let it set up for a bit, then slice-- yummy

Using AIOE, you can read RFC, but not post to RFC.

If you posted about this, I apologize, I have not read for a while, I was
busy doing taxes. There were so many posts I just marked them all as
read.

Why you would try to keep anyone from posting from AIOE is beyond me,
but I don't care, I have plenty of free nntp accounts to use. AIOE's
retention
sucks too, compared with albisana and teranews. Monster is too new for me
to tell yet.

Because I wrote them (aioe) about a persistent troller and included
all his posts over the last 4-5 months. I'm thinking that's
probably what triggered it. I was probably not the only one
<shrug>.

It didn't matter that it was AIOE. Somebody who comes in here once
or twice a week asking how to cook his husbands penis is not really
in the tradition of this group.

Was that you?

It wouldn't be so bad if 20 regulars wouldn't routinely respond to
him.

Yep - Net Nazi. Whatever. If I could stop allt he spam, I would
too. I suppose all those spammers have rights, too.

You look *really* pathetic, Steve...really, you oughta try getting
some sort of life. What's really risible is that you complained about
this troll, yet you've been known to do a good bit 'o trolling
*yourself*...

You look *mighty* foolish...and draping yourself in the cloak of self
- righteousness simply does not "fit" you, darling.

Anyways, cybercat , myself, and the others that once used aioe.org to
post here extend a big hearty "thanks" to you for preventing us from
posting via that server...

[and no, I was not the person posting about "cooking my husband's
penis", in fact I don't rightly remember any such posts, if I saw them
I skipped over them...]


Of course the *right* thing for you to do would be to contact aioe.org
and attempt to "undo" the inconvenience you've inflicted on
others...but of course we all know that you won't.

Actually, **** that. Steve's an asshole for netcopping, but aioe is a bigger

Tut tut...

I never inferred that we were "allied" but it might behoove you to
remember who defended your "freedom of expression"...or at least your
ability to post from a server.

That story freaks me out. A few years ago Louise claimed she saw one
late at night in a near west suburb. Very close to Mcdonalds
headquarters. That's about 15 miles from where the cat was shot at.
It's come up a few times and I've been telling her she's nuts for
years. She said she hates to say she told me so, but she said it
anyway. I just played the clip you posted and she walked in and said
it again. I don't know if it's the same one she saw or how long they
live. There's a lot of city between where she saw one and where it
was shot. Freaky

It'a a coupla miles west, but yeah, is that something or what...!!!???

Last year a coyote was down in the Loop and it walked into a Quizno's
sub store and settled down to sleep in one of the coolers, lol.
Animal control caught it and released it into the wild...apparently
Chicago animal control catches about a dozen coyotes per year.

In the rural area in Western Illannoy where I grew up they now have
bobcats, they supposedly disappeared over 100 years ago...

This kinda reminds me of those "Life After Man" shows that I've seen
lately on the Discovery and National Geographic channels...how long
for the animals to take over Chicago if man disappears...!!!???

The North Branch of the Chicago River is a big conduit into the city
for wild creatures...it's thought that this animal followed that path
into the city.

Some animal rights idjits have been decrying the shooting of the
cougar. They apparently don't understand that this was not a big
fuzzy kitty, but a killing machine that could attack you in a SECOND.
They are very quick and don't stop to ponder that humans think they
are cute...that's why the cop had to shoot when he felt threatened.
This animal was also in the vicinity of a school...

That scene where the guy is walking down the street and silently this
enormous cat just crosses behind him, wow.

I don't know Roscoe from a hole in the ground, but I thought
I heard you mention that area. Just my imagination, no doubt.

At any rate, I do wish they would have been able to relocate it.
I imagine arming all the cops with tranquilizer guns would be
unrealistic, I know that. Sad just the same.

I remember that, it was so endearing in that case.

That is funny, now that you mention it.

The area where the cougar was is called "Roscoe Village", it's
straight west of me, it's apparently named for Roscoe Street, which is
just up the block. It's one of those older working - class nabes that
started becoming "trendy" about 20 years ago. Now it's a lotta
yuppies, teardowns for new condo construction, groovy boutiques, over -
priced restos, etc. Another neighborhood spoiled :-(

Cougars are beautiful creatures, that's for sure...

The poor thing was just seemed tired. Heck, I get tired easily too
when I'm down there, all the hurly - burly and noise and such, lol...

Apparently it would not take long for nature to re - establish itself,
even in the concrete canyons of New York. Most all streets and roads
would be covered in some sort of green within five years...

The CGI animations on those shows of the Eiffel Tower, the Sears
Tower, the Space Needle, and the Empire State Building eventually
toppling are kinda neat to see...

I think it was Discovery Channel that had an interesting documentary on
"city animals" a few years ago. It's amazing how many "wild" animals
make their homes in even large cities. Raccoons, possum, fox, etc.

We live in a small city with about 35K citizens and have had raccoons,
possums, and even a deer and later a bobcat, come into our yard at
night. We steer clear of them and they eventually move on. Used to have
armadillos roaming around a lot but they evidently all got ran over by
cars. A zillion gray squirrels lived around here until Hurricane Rita
ate them and the trees they lived in. Only see one or two now and again
and I'm not happy to see those. They decimate my fruit trees, steal
tomatoes, etc. Our Rat Terrier enjoys them though, great fun chasing
them around. She even knows the difference between squirrels and cats,
leaves the cats alone.

Last year, a cougar killed a deer , eviserated it ( spelling ? ) very
neatly . and when I discovered it, on the back of my property , I
decided to let it have its dinner in peace.

There are a few around here but they have not been a problem, people
are slowly but surely driving the wildlife away.... sigh...

I've been lurking chi.general and watching the news. If a 150 pound
cat was under my porch I'd want it shot. This morning I heard they
spotted one in Skokie. I wonder if they are kosher? <eg> As someone
in chi.general said: "where there's one there's more."
