Drive-By Roasting

PKRWUD · 01-02-2003, 11:31 PM

According to a report made Christmas Day, one man has found a fast, new and efficient way to cook a turkey if you're running late. Josh Harper overslept on the holiday and was in charge of cooking the Christmas bird. Pressed for time, Harper decided to wrap his turkey up, along with some vegetables, in silver foil and place it on the engine of his car as he drove the 90 miles to his girlfriend's house. What seemed like a far-fetched idea turned into a piping hot meal that was ready to eat when he arrived. Harper commented, "I couldn't believe how well it worked. The spuds were a little firm, but the turkey was done to a treat." While it worked for Harper, making dinner on your car engine is not recommended.

Take care,
~Chris

Had a can of ABC's burst on a Army truck motor like that. The smell wasn't so bad except when a rat burned up trying to eat it. Rat taste like chicken.

I've actually seen this on one of those old car shows. Forget what kind of car, but they had chicken wrapped in aluminum foil cooked on the headers. They said it worked fine, and was a fun way to have a hot meal once you reached the end of the cruise.

Just make sure you don't have an exhaust leak.

A can of pork-n-beans, a gasoline powered 5 ton generator truck manifold = ten thousand little pieces of shrapnelbeans and the s**t is HOT when it lands on you.

YEARS AGO...when I was into the Harley thing before the Stang Thang...we rode out to one of our Trips to Gulfport, Miss. for the Harley Drags....We did the "McGyver" thing, and cooked weenies, in the Hotel room w/ my blowdryer....YUM-YUM!

It really worked....FYI if your ever in a bind!

Thats pretty creative. He gets an E for effort.

I'm thinking that had to be one small engine or one small bird.

One night a couple years ago I was at Lake McConaughy camping in a tent. I got hungry; but luckily we had a cooler in the tent with us. Had some semi-frozen hot dogs left, but that's it. I had already put out the campfire, so all I had was a book of matches.

Lesson #1: When the flame starts getting close to your finger, blow that f'er out even though you're determined to get that damn hot dog warm.

Lesson #2: The combined smell of magnesium, hot dogs, and finger nails is not very pleasant.

Lesson #3: A book of cheap matches you get from hotel rooms isn't enough to thaw out a semi-frozen hot dog.

Moral of the Story: Nonexistant. Just get a lighter if you're ever in this situation.

You got kicked out of the Scouts too, huh?

Why didn't you just start a fire with the matches?

I thought that would be too much work, and unnecessary just to heat up the hot dog. Who'da thunk?
