This was going to be a great, fabulous looking food post about how I cooked a fantastic roast chicken on my new barbeque.
I took preparatory photos of preparing the stuffing - lemons, garlic, onion, herbs - and of the BBQ. All that was left was the photo of the lovely crispy on the outside, moist on the inside chicken.
Ha!
I pulled the bird out of the BBQ too early, realized too late it wasn't cooked enough, then overdid it in finishing it off in the oven. I managed to salvage enough for a passable dinner, but there was certainly nothing worth capturing for posterity. Or even leftovers.
So, instead, the following is my playlist of 2010 - which I've been meaning to post before we get too far into 2011:
The Opener - The Courteeners
Trouble Comes Running - Spoon
The Ghost Inside - Broken Bells
Drunk Girls - LCD Soundsystem
Swim Until You Can't See Land - Frightened Rabbit
Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National
In Sleep - Lissie
Hustle & Cuss - The Dead Weather
Dilly - Band of Horses
Let's Get Lost - Beck & Bat for Lashes
Rocket - Goldfrapp
Crash Years - The New Pornographers
Hollywood - Marina & the Diamonds
Next Girl - The Black Keys
Scissor Runner - Jenny & Johnny
MoneyGrabber - Fitz & the Tantrums
Do-Wah-Do - Kate Nash
Barricade - Interpol
The Ghost Who Walks - Karen Elson
Come Undone - Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
Fade Like A Shadow - KT Tunstall
Sunday Best - Washington
Coquet Coquette - Of Montreal
The Bike Song - Mark Ronson & the Business International
The Hair Song - Black Mountain
Sing Me To Sleep - Fran Healy (with Neko Case)
I bought a lot of music last year, and listened to a lot more, and I'm looking forward to keeping that up and hopefully seeing more live music in 2011.
My favorite albums of last year were definitely The Black Keys "Brothers" and Band of Horses "Infinite Arms", both of which are still on high rotation in my car.
See, that was a good way to forget about my failure as a cook, wasn't it?
Great list. I reeeaaallly like The Bike Song and the film clip for it. It makes me want to cycle.
I put Fyfe Dangerfield - When You Walk in the Room in my number one position this year. Although, I hate playing favourites.
Sorry about the chicken.
