You Gotta Fight For Your Right
(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)
Time to get out the Vote!
Whether you're a member of the Democratic party, the Republican party or the Cocktail party... You gotta get out there and get in the middle of this. After it's all over you will then have "bragging rights" or I "told you so" and just wait until 2020. If not... you got NO right!
So, if elected we promise a Rosemary-Lemon Roasted Chicken in every pot, a Colonial Ties cocktail and some tunes that will either help you decide on a candidate or leave you completely confused. Good luck!

The Plate...
Rosemary-Lemon Roasted Chicken
A chicken in every pot... This is very easy and it will help take your mind off of all the the distaste that's going on in this election!
What you need...
1 stick of butter
2 whole lemons, tested
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper
1 whole roaster chicken
What you do...
Preheat your oven or your grill to 400 degrees.
Line a baking pan with foil.
Place the butter in a bowl to soften then add the lemon zest.
Strip the leaves from one sprig of rosemary and finely chop.
Now add the rosemary to the butter with salt and pepper.
Lay the chicken in the pan and use your fingers to push/smear butter allover the chicken and under the skin.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon all over the chicken, and then place the the lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken with the rest of the rosemary.
Put the chicken in the oven or grill (breast side up) and cook for about an hour.
Cook until the skin is golden brown and the internal temp of the breast is 165 degrees.
