my favorite is lollipop chicken. chicken drumsticks with the
skin and tendons cut, and knuckles pulled of the non meaty part
of the bone. push remaining meat down to form more or less a
ball on the end. season. grill or bake around 350F with the bones
pointing at the sky to final temp dipping them in bbq sauce if
wanted for the last 10 minutes of cooking. cover the bare bones
with foil before cooking if you want them to look chic.

  wow, that's a lot of fiddling around.  :)  i am one of those
people that i don't much care how something looks as long as
the end result is edible.  i can appreciate a nice presentation
of a meal but it is not required to make me happy or fed.

  i have a friend that makes really beautiful meals.

  and i freely admit that one of my worst traits/habits is that
i too often eat really fast.  if we have company i have to remind
myself that i should slow down.  taking smaller portions and
getting up to get things for others helps put a brake on stuffing
the gob.
