The wife showed me this Funko Pop movie scene and wants me to get it for her for Christmas. $65 freakin' dollars... Are you kidding me? I already got her both the classic and new Pennywise figures in the past. I told her I'll get her Georgie for under $7 and she can use her imagination. :rolleyes:

Orange & Rosemary Grilled Doves

What you need:
18 to 20 whole doves plucked
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups fresh orange juice (about 4 large oranges)
zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon pepper
pinch salt

What to do:
Prepare grill. Brush doves with oil and season with salt and pepper. While the grill is heating, prepare the glaze by combining the orange juice, orange zest, rosemary, honey, pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring to a good simmer over heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it has reduced and thickened.
When the grill is ready, place the doves on the grill, breast up. Grill for three minutes with the cover on. Remove cover, do not flip, and brush the glaze on each bird. Cover and grill for 9 to 11 minutes depending on how well cooked you like your dove.
Remove the doves to a serving platter.

Yummmm… sounds like a new Christmas holiday meal tradition is in the makings. :)
that looks really good. I wonder if you could substitute a cornish game hen?

The wife informed me last night she had narrowed down the Christmas cookie baking list to 7 cookies. I replied “Narrowed?” I said ‘how about you make three of them chocolate chip.’ Great… that means less of the cookies I love and new ones I’ll hate. It looks like she’s trying three new ones. Why do people insist on changing up a good thing? :(

Request a "Traditional Cookie Christmas" no new cookies.

I'm firing up Scrooge! The musical today. Just know, I will be trying to sing all the songs and recite all the dialogue in a British accent appropriate for the location and social standing of each character.

And I will do them all badly -- unrecognizable in fact.

All will be well.
