"the bitten word" news and stories

Looking at this picture makes me realize that I haven't had a single piece of barbecued chicken this summer. Seems I'll have to do something about that before the grilling season is out, possibly with this exact recipe (the volume of Everyday Food from which it comes is currently sitting on a stack next to my bed). This picture comes to us from the guys over at The Bitten Word, who discovered that until this batch of chicken, they'd been making barbecue the wrong way all their lives. However, it seems that they are now converts to this dry rub prior to cooking, saucing at the end of grilling technique.

I first spotted this image of strawberry frozen yogurt at the Bitten Word yesterday and was instantly inspired to make room for my ice cream maker bowl in the freezer (it was a tough fit, but I managed to shoehorn it in there) so that I could make something similar. No food stuff more perfectly goes with the long days of summer better than ice cream or frozen yogurt, and when you make it yourself, it becomes that much more delicious.

There is nothing like a cool cocktail to take the edge off a hot summer afternoon or evening. This glass of Bourbon Mint Tea comes to us from Clay and Zach, two guys from the South who are partial to both sweet tea and bourbon. They got the recipe from the May 2008 edition of Everyday Food and say that it has the perfect balance of mint, sweetness and Bourbon, without being overpowering. You can find the recipe over on their food blog, The Bitten Word (a blog devoted to using the recipes they find in their cooking magazines).
