Quirt has been chasing this woman around with a fist full of wooden stakes for some time now. What is he afraid of?

Quirt, you need some of this:

Add extra veggies and garlic. It's terrific.

perfect roast chicken
serves 4 - 6

ingredients
• 1 x approximately 1.6kg chicken
• 2 medium onions
• 2 carrots
• 2 sticks of celery
• 1 bulb of garlic
• olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lemon
a small bunch of fresh thyme, rosemary, bay or sage, or a mixture

To prepare your chicken
• Take your chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven
• Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9
• There’s no need to peel the vegetables – just give them a wash and roughly chop them
• Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled
• Pile all the veg and garlic into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil
• Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the bird
• Carefully prick the lemon all over, using the tip of a sharp knife (if you have a microwave, you could pop the lemon in these for 40 seconds at this point as this will really bring out the flavour)
• Put the lemon inside the chicken’s cavity, with the bunch of herbs

To cook your chicken
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting tray and put it into the preheated oven
• Turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook the chicken for 1 hour and 20 minutes
• If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking
• Baste the chicken halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water or chicken broth to the tray to stop them burning
• When cooked, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the chicken to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so
• Cover it with a layer of tinfoil and a tea towel and put aside. Now is the time to make your gravy

Mik, you're right. Forty cloves sounds about the amount that will help Quirt right now.

Have some good crusty bread ready, Quirt. The garlic is wonderful as a spread on the bread.

Hello, McFly?

I've explained this many times before. She has charisma. She's attractive. She has some wit and a sharp tongue. And she's dumb and lazy. So she's dangerous.

Sort of like the horror expressed here awhile back when Obama mistakenly attributed his meeting Michelle to when she was in law school? Boy, I remember hay made over that one at TNCR.
Considering it's questionable how much law school either one of them actually attended, the mistake is understandable....

Let's ask the Decider (you know, the parent) why they went to Canada:

It's because you can't get there from here.
Quote:
 
Palin's father said Monday they had little choice, given their location in Skagway.

"There was no road out of there at that time," said retired teacher Chuck Heath, reached by phone in Wasilla. "The ferry schedule was very erratic. We had no doctor in Skagway. The plane schedule was very erratic. The winds dictated whether the planes could come in or not."
...
Palin's father said his family probably boarded the train for the Whitehorse hospital only twice - once when a daughter had rheumatic fever, and once when his son, also named Chuck, severely burned his leg and an infection set in.

"We much preferred to use our facilities because my insurance didn't cover anything in Whitehorse. And even though they have socialized medicine, I still had to pay the bill, being an American citizen," Heath said.

Heath worked part-time for the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and had a pass allowing him and his family to ride for free.

The train in the 1960s often was the only option for getting to a doctor, Skagway Mayor Tom Cochran said.

There's now a road to Whitehorse about 112 miles away, but people still take advantage of Whitehorse dentists or doctors rather than flying to Alaska's capital, Juneau, 90 miles to the south.

"If you can't fly to Juneau - and a lot of times you can't, especially in the winter - they're going to get you to a medical treatment facility if it's an emergency, and that's normally where Whitehorse comes into play," Cochran said.

Honestly, I think the Left in this country has lost its collective minds.

Of course, from what I've seen, "collectively" is the only way they seem to have a mind..

You guys miss the point, almost certainly on purpose.

I don't care who pays. Bold it again, if you like. The Palin family thought enough of the Canadian health care system that they used Canadian health care services. And Chuck admits that the real reason he was disinclined to use Canadian services was because his insurance didn't cover it. No argument that it wasn't as good. Nope, the only reason he mentions is that his insurance didn't cover it.

The contrast is the right-wing drumbeat now of "Oh, but Canadian health care can't compare with our vastly superior U.S. health care!" If the difference were that big, Chuck would have moved heaven and earth to get his kids to an Alaskan hospital. Obviously, he thought a Canadian hospital was good enough.

It doesn't matter how much you dress it up and how much lipstick you put on it, it's still a pig.

It was the only healthcare available in two emergency situations.

If you were in oh, say, Somalia and all that was available was Somalian healthcare, you'd go in an emergency. You can't draw any substantial conclusion out of that article at all.

That's not what the man said.

He made the point that it wasn't because it was free that he went there.

The gist of it is that it was the only hospital he could get to for what he needed taken care of. To try to turn this into some sort of rallying cry for socialized medicine is beyond silly.
