JotD: Roasting a chicken (PWH00016)

The PolyBlog
May 13 2025
The street chef was roasting a chicken on a portable rotisserie and had begun to hand-crank it to ensure all areas were evenly done. It was now getting golden brown, and juices were causing some flames to lick the chicken as he turned it.  Just then, a passing drunk stumbled into the guy’s cart, looked at the scene and exclaimed: “Hey buddy, not only is your music box not making any music, but your monkey’s on fire!”

Sweet Chicken Curry (REC00005) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The PolyBlog
January 5 2017

This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn’t a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.

    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →

    I write a lot about goals. Goals for the day, goals for life, goals for the week. Goals before retirement. Setting goals, monitoring goals, achieving goals, dropping goals. Different types of goals, different types of methods for managing goals. Having goals as a goal in and of itself. Sometimes it veers into performance measurement. Yet, … Continue reading →

    Similar to the work on the Lilypad Library (my book reviews), I’ve upgraded my movie reviews, too. First and foremost, I’ve changed the name to Lilypad Cinema. Notice the theme? Yes, I’m leaning fully into the frog motif. Second, I’ve upgraded my featured image. Previously, I used the couch potato-style image below, with the man … Continue reading →

    Soooo…I have said a few times over the last few years, “NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER CHANGE MY BOOK REVIEWS FORMAT.” Why? Because I am generally anal-retentive, and with 300 completed reviews, there is a niggly part of me where, if I change something, I want to go back and change all of them to … Continue reading →
