Clocks Stopping / Myspace Sexy Gore / KFC Tender Roast

Will report on MissionsFest in a minute... I just need to blog the morbid facts and today's recipe first to get those out of the way. Now, if only getting rid of 50+ comments were that easy... o_O


Today's Cavernous Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

Inventor Thomas Edison died of heart failure at age 84 at 3:24 AM on Sunday, October 18, 1931. Edison's employees reported that the usually reliable clock that dominated his cavernous laboratory stopped at 3:27 AM, three minutes after his death.

Culled from: What A Way To Go

**********************************************************************

Of course, it would be spookier if the clock stopped at EXACTLY the time of his death, but you never know, it could have taken him a while to find his way back to the office... I *guess*...

My Morbid Space!

The mission of Headsick Productions is "Making Gore Sexy." They do a damned good job of it too, if their Myspace profile is any indication! Thanks to Sam for the link.

Incidentally, The Comtesse now has a Myspace page of her own. Yes, you knew it had to happen eventually... You are all welcome to visit!

Morbid Mirth Du Jour!

Now, here's a fun game! I'm sure it's much more clever than the actual movie...

KFC Tender Roast

The Colonel also had a roasted chicken that was mighty tasty. The chicken was marinated also and then baked with his famous seasonings. The baking process was long... it takes 4 hours to bake it. It is baked at 225° for 2 hours till the internal temp is at 175°. But for you people at home, I have updated this to be baked at a higher temperature, and be prepared in less time.

Spice Mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon MSG

Trim the excess fat from the chicken. Marinade the chicken in the mixture for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow to dry. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with seasoning. Place on baking pan and bake at 325°F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours till chicken is done. Allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes, then serve.
