There’s something about roasting a bird that makes me feel so accomplished.
I always think it’s the hardest thing ever. That I’ve basically saved the entire world and created world peace.
But really, all I’ve done is rub a chicken with a spice rub and throw it in the oven.
I mean, seriously, that is it.
But then again, it is the best BBQ rub you will ever make using only pantry spices, saving you from that emergency grocery run.
So maybe I am saving the world. I’m basically Superwoman with a sidekick corgi named Butters.
