Goat Roast

This weekend I roasted a goat. Apparently people look at you funny when you tell them that. I don't fully understand what the difference goat meat is from any other meat, but apparently not a lot of people eat goat. It was surprisingly good as we had no real idea what we were doing. I wanted to roast it with a spit all day. This is not something that I have ever done with any type of animal so it was a totally new experience.

Materials: 1 Goat, lemons, rosemary, onions, garlic, potatoes, and mushrooms.

After we cleaned the goat, we rubbed him down with lemon juice and rosemary and garlic and fixed him to the spit. Then we stuffed him with the vegetables and sewed him back up with wire and placed him over the coals. Drink beer and rotate every 20 minutes (or 40 on accident) and take off when the inside temperature of the meat reaches 150 degrees which worked out to be about 5 hours. We started cleaning the goat at 10 AM, put him over the coals at noon and pulled him off around 5:15 PM.

The potatoes didn't seem to cook though, so we pulled all of the vegetables out when we were cutting the meat off the bone and we threw them into a pot with some chunks of meat and made goat stew. In my opinion that was the best part.

The Cubs actually won the day of the roast. This is obviously proof that we reversed the Curse of the Billy Goat so everybody get ready the Cubs will win the World Series this year. Speaking of baseball, Jose Conseco boxed Gary Hogan this weekend at the Arkansas Travelers game. It was awesome. Hogan fought like a champ. It was great to see Jose Conseco. He is still huge. I did my part and boo-birded him. I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to he could snap somebody's back in half. That guy is solid.

Well next weekend I'm headed to Chicago. We're going to a Cub's game as a bachelor party for my friend. It's gonna be great hopefully, I'll fill you in with the details. This will be bachelor party #2 for this summer, and like the 4th wedding and I still have more to go...
