    I got sloppy and didn't notice my "Corn On The Cob 4" post is a
    recipe that calls for cutting the corn OFF the cob. My mistake.
    Here's a replacement recipe. ;)

    Getting sloppy in a cooking echo somehow seems appropriate, especially with corn on the cob. <G>

    Title: Roast Chicken in a Clay Baker
    Categories: Main dish, Chicken, Clay pot, Seandennis
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 4-5 lb. whole chicken
    6 To 8 small potatoes, cut
    In half
    4 To 6 garlic cloves, peeled
    And left whole
    10 Or more baby carrots
    1 Large onion cut into eighths
    8 To 10 mushroom caps
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh lemony
    Thyme
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh sage
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh oregano
    Salt and pepper

    Prep time : 10 minutes Cook time
    : 1 hour 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour 40 minutes

    1. Completely submerge the top and bottom in water and soak for 30
    minutes prior to cooking.

    2. Wash and dry chicken. Allow to come to room temperature (or about
    70 degrees) before placing in oven, about 1.5 hours.

    3. Put veggies and herbs in baker and place chicken on top. Sprinkle
    with salt & pepper.

    4. Place baker in a cold oven and then turn temp. to 450 degrees. Bake
    covered for 1.5 hours or until skin is browned and chicken is done.

    5. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.

    Notes: Avoid drastic temperature changes with a clay baker. Always
    presoak baker for 30 minutes and always allow to cool before
    cleaning. Never use soap, only warm water and baking soda if
    necessary.

    Based on reader feedback, I have adjusted the cooking temperature to
    450 degrees.

    I think it is messier if you cover it in butter as most of us in the south/country do. ;) As I have gotten older, I prefer to use a knife to remove it from the cob first to make it less messy.

    Hi Sean,

    It never seemed that sloppy to me. I had corn on the cob once on our
    trip; it came as a side to our lobster dinner up in Maine. They subbed
    out Stephen's corn with cole slaw. That was our first lobster meal--a
    lot of work to get those things open! The next day we got lobster rolls (hot, with melted butter on a hot dog type roll), much easier to handle but the only side was a small bag of potato chips. The trip was nice, about 4,700 miles, saw a lot of New England, but good to be back home.

    It can be if I don't have my teeth in! XD

    True; I still have all of my teeth except the wisdom ones and a molar
    that was being reabsorbed from the inside out so pulled about 30 years
    ago. No problems with eating corn, either on or off the cob.

    Seriously though, it just depends on what kind of corn, how it's
    prepared, et cetera. I especially like to shuck it myself, cut the
    larger cobs into two, and eat it with salted butter. It's been years since I've had it like that.

    I grew up with corn on the cob (picked after the water went on the stove
    to heat) in the summer, frozen corn the rest of the year. Sadly I've not
    had corn that fresh since getting married, close a few times but more
    often a few hours old. Sometimes frozen corn on the cob before we found
    out about Stephen's allergy but always with butter and salt.

    Lobster is delicious but it's too much work for me now becuase of
    my SD> nerve-damaged hands. Lobster rolls, however, go down quite
    smoothly. SD> I've never had a genuine New England lobster rolls but
    the ones I have SD> had tasted pretty good to me.

    Stephen ended up cracking mine open; my wrists/hands are too weak from
    breaks. We decided that in the future, we'll go for lobster rolls as
    cracking the bugs is just too much work. Did you know there are 2
    different types of rolls? One is more like a lobster salad--served cold,
    mixed with mayo and usually diced celery. The other one is the one
    Cousins Maine Lobster says is the real lobster roll--steamed, picked out
    of the shell and piled into a roll with lots of melted butter. The
    latter is our choice. CML is a food truck franchise that specialise in
    lobster, got their big break on Shark Tank; we've seen them at various
    local events and bought lobster from them from time to time.

    I am considering going back to work part-time under Social Security's "Ticket To
    Work" program and if I can scrape up a little extra money to get a few more things on my van fixed, I might go up to Washington DC to visit
    some memorials and museums. Something I have always wanted to do.

    Sounds good. On this trip we went to both Bar Harbor, ME and
    Williamsburg, VA--both places I visited as a teen with my family. Sadly
    in the over the years since, they've both gone very commercial; neither
    of them are the sleepy little towns I remember. I've not been to DC
    since my senior class trip; I know it has changed but I'm not really
    that interested in a return visit.

    I definitely prefer the latter. I don't mind cold crab meat but for some reason, lobster doesn't taste as good cold. Then again, I like cilantro so I may not be the best judge of things. XD

    I've never been to DC. My Danish friend, who is a former BBS sysop and Fidonet
    hub (how we met), has talked about flying into DC, meeting me there, and we can
    go around to sall of the places we want to visit. I did discover that I can take both a tour of Congress and the White House on my mobility scooter which sounds interesting to me.

    I have never visited the US Northeast yet and would like to someday.

    Hi Mike,

    I think it is messier if you cover it in butter as most of us in the south/country do. ;) As I have gotten older, I prefer to use a knife
    to remove it from the cob first to make it less messy.

    I do spread butter and salt on my corn on the cob; it's the way I was
    brought up to eat it. Stephen introduced me to an easier way to butter
    it that doesn't use a knife tho. Spear the ends of the cob with those
    little cob shaped skewers/holders/whatever you call them, then roll the
    ear of corn over the top of a stick of butter. The heat of the corn will
    melt the butter just enough to butter your corn without the mess of
    doing it with a knife. Best to keep a dedicated stick of butter on hand
    for this. My mom always set one stick of butter on the table for the 7
    of us but two salt shakers. We were encouraged to take enough butter
    (but not an excessive amount) to butter more than one ear so we didn't
    have to keep passing it around or have one person tie it up while others
    were waiting to get some. She always used margerine, tried real butter
    on us when she started working and could afford it but the general
    consensus of the family taste was for margerine so she bought that until
    the last of the kids had left home. (G)

    Hi Sean,


    True; I still have all of my teeth except the wisdom ones and a molar

    I had bad teeth from the get-go and after I had my first heart attack,
    the VA removed all of my teeth to prevent a heart infection.

    My parents were good about making sure we got to the dentist on a
    regular basis, had flouride treatments thru the school and bought
    toothpaste with flouride in it. Even so, I had my share of cavities over
    my younger years. now (last 40 years or so) it's been a matter of
    replacing fillings. I do have a couple of crowns but all my teeth are
    original.

    Stephen ended up cracking mine open; my wrists/hands are too weak from breaks. We decided that in the future, we'll go for lobster rolls as cracking the bugs is just too much work. Did you know there are 2 different types of rolls? One is more like a lobster salad--served

    some reason, lobster doesn't taste as good cold. Then again, I like cilantro so I may not be the best judge of things. XD

    You can keep my cilantro. Some years ago when we were in VT, McDonald's
    was selling cold lobster rolls so I got one to try. It was ok but hot
    (warm) lobster definatly tastes better.


    Sounds good. On this trip we went to both Bar Harbor, ME and
    Williamsburg, VA--both places I visited as a teen with my family. Sadly
    in the over the years since, they've both gone very commercial; neither

    I can take both a tour of Congress and the White House on my mobility scooter which sounds interesting to me.

    I've visited Congress but not the White House. The day we were supposed
    to go on our class trip, it was closed for some unscheduled event and
    since our trip was fairly tightly scheduled, we never had the chance to
    try for another time. I'd be interested in some of the historic aspects
    of it.

    I have never visited the US Northeast yet and would like to someday.

    My dad didn't take any vacations from his job until I was 11; his first
    one was to work at a Boy Scout Jamboree in Valley Forge. That made him
    realise that he could take some time off so it was a family trip every
    year thereafter until the early 70s. In 73 most of us kids were working
    jobs away from home so Mom & Dad went on their own; trips the next 5
    years or so were with some of the kids. After that they went back to
    going on their own. We covered a lot of the Northeast and as far south
    as Virginia plus a trip out to Michigan (thru Canada) but I've covered
    most of the country in the last 43 years (after Stephen joined the
    Army).
