As America Gets Ready to Take a Day Off, the Real Estate Market Has Little to Celebrate
Most real estate agents have had a dismal year - many have left the
industry. And now that the summer selling season has passed, the kids
are back in school and those few potential buyers are torn between
soccer games and band practice instead of bedrooms and baths.
Yet, the conditions are right for a real estate recovery. Interest
rates, while slightly up from recent weeks, are still in the low four
percent range. And prices of resale homes are as soft as they have been
in years. One would think that this is a great time to buy a house. And
it is.

John's favorite chicken recipe |

Saturday, 28 August 2010 |
Honey Mustard Chicken
(From the Eggtoberfest Cookbook Submitted by Cat (Cathy Loup)
When there's no time to brine, this is our favorite way to do chicken on the Egg.
Good with smoke (I like pecan and/or cherry) or without..
Ingredients:
• 4 LB chicken, butterflied
• 3 TBS Dijon mustard
• 1 TBS honey
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 2 TBS olive oil
• salt & pepper
.
Preparation Directions:
Flatten the chicken out, skin side up.
Whack it with your fist to crack the breastbone (for easier carving).
Fold the wing tips back and tuck them under the chicken.
Salt and pepper both sides.
Blend the mustard, honey, soy and oil.
Brush generously on both sides of chicken.
Let sit at room temperature for an hour or so, or cover and refrigerate for several
hours.
Cooking Directions:
Roast over direct heat (no drip pan), at a grill temperature of 270 (about 300 dome).
Start skin side up; after 50-60 minutes, flip the skin side toward the coals.
Roast another 30 minutes or so, until skin is golden brown and crispy and the meat is
done to your liking.
Marjie's notes
We like the skin crispy--here's what we do:
We use chicken leg quarters
Rinse chicken, trim of excess fat, dry thoroughly with paper towels or kitchen towels.
Set on a platter or tray (I put a thin kitchen towel under the chicken to catch any drips)
Refrigerate uncovered overnight or up to 24 hours to let the skin dry. It will become somewhat transparent.
Try to place it where the air will blow on it. Be sure it won't drip on other food.
DO NOT rinse or wet the chicken again after this.
Brush with the sauce per above.
If the skin blackens somewhat while cooking, it is still tasty.
John cooks this on the Big Green Egg or Primo using lump charcoal but no added wood for smoke.
He elevates the cooking grid with bricks to keep the skin from burning before it is done. |

Upcoming Events
"EPA CERTIFIED RENOVATOR" TRAINING
Do You Work with Real Estate? You Must Be LEAD SAFE CERTIFIED as of April 22nd.
To all owners, realtors, investors, property managers, contractors, electricians, plumbers and painters. Do you ever engage in any level of renovation? If so, read this:
Any renovator, from owners to contractors, from plumbers to electricians to painters, who disturbs lead paint while working in a pre-1978 home, school or day care center, now must be Lead-Safe Certified. If you’re not, you can face tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Plus, you put the health of yourself, your workers and your customers at risk, which could result in lawsuits. One simple 8 hour class certifies you for five years. It’s that easy.
Since April 22, 2010, there are new Federal rules regarding how you perform any work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, child-care facilities and schools built before 1978. You now must be EPA certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
Failure to follow the new rules can result in federal fines of up to $32,500 per day or up to 5 years in federal prison, or both. Don’t take a chance - it’s not worth it.
