UNDERGRAD

Hey, would you be willing to give a talk about applying to grad school for my random undergrad club.

GRAD STUDENT

Why would anyone ever want to go to grad school?

Will there be food?

Lemon Chicken

I've made this a few times in the last few weeks.  If it is big enough, you can roast the chicken, the vegetables, and the potatoes in the same pan.  I tried some to make some pan gravy out of the chicken drippings the last time.  If you are gravy-inclined, I recommend it.

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

4 Chicken Pieces (Thighs)
2 Teaspoons Oregano (Dried)
1 Lemon
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic
Salt
Pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 425. Zest lemon and squeeze lemon juice (careful of the seeds and open cuts on your hands!) into a bowl.  Dice garlic cloves.
2. Combine lemon zest and lemon juice with olive oil, oregano, and garlic.
3. Spread delicious lemon mixture on top and bottom of the chicken pieces.  Salt and pepper the pieces.
4.  Cook chicken covered for 30 minutes.  Remove cover and cook for another 30 minutes.

Serve with potatoes and roasted vegetables.

Victorian Inception

I obviously didn't make this.  I'm not even sure where it came from.  Its cool though.

The Angel, the Bad, and the Wise

Rumor has it that Quentin Tarantino is going to be directing a western next.  Considering all of his films save Jackie Brown are essentially transplanted westerns, I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out.  I'm guessing there will be good dialogue.

Anyway, awhile ago I posted a playlist based on what I think the soundtrack for a Quentin Tarantino directed western would be like.  Here is a revised version based on what I would use as the soundtrack to a western.

Mostly this is just excuse to play Nick Cave covering Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash covering Nic Cave, and some live Tom Waits.  The Guadalupe Plata song in the mix is from one of their free albums available online.
