my go to bbq chicken recipe is to take a parted whole chicken and marinate it in commercial italian salad dressing (paul newman) and grill it up. here they take it to stage two with a balsamic glaze and grated parm oven toasting.
just found this food site. its bountiful!
interesting game 1 of the nba finals. its the golden state warriors v. the cleveland cavaliers for all of you not paying attention. lebron james is carrying his team with 39 points with 4 minutes remaining but his team is down 1. golden state is just so much deeper especially as clevelands third best scorer is out for the series. golden state can go 10 deep while cleveland at best has 8 although 6 have had the majority of minutes. and the 11th guy on the warriors bench was an all-star two years ago. so even if lebron wills them to victory over a game or two it just doesnt look like they can win over the course of a seven game series.
Have you been watching the U-20 Men's World Cup??

havent watched any of the french open but just noticed that djokovic v nadal is about to go down at 10 am est. nadal is somehow seeded 6th so this quarterfinal matchup came sooner than it might have in the recent past. i dont think nadal performed particularly well in the clay court tourneys leading up to the french so theres been a lot of hang-wringing as to whether his reign as clay court king is about to end. he has won 9 out of the last 10 french opens.
fivethirtyeight is liveblogging the match.
