Awildfire in the Texas Panhandle has consumed more than 1 million acres and as of Sunday was just 15% contained, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service. It is the largest wildfire in Texas history.
Spatchcock is a new word to me, but it’s been around for a long time. Research indicates it originated in Ireland in the 18 th century and is a variation on the phrase “dispatching a cock.” The cock is a bird. In culinary terms, spatchcock simply means to split a bird open and lay it flat for cooking. It’s supposed to make it cook quick and even. Have you ever tried to split a turkey in half ? It ain’t easy. I watched my wife and a 350-pound man wrestle with a turkey until they finally succeeded in removing the big bid’s spine by carving, sawing, pulling and sweating. They spent nearly an hour working with the slick and unruly hunk of poultry.

Texas’ prime grilling season is only weeks away. I await in the shadow of a conundrum, not knowing whether to mark off calendar days with giddy anticipation or be “gloomed” like Charlie Brown stumbling away from another setback.
Last night was surprisingly calm, all things considered. I told my husband, Peter, that he should not plan to get a good night’s sleep. I told him this because Peter has never had a cat, and yesterday, we adopted one.
