There are a few marketing numbers for browser share published from time to time, however individual sites can certainly vary. I thought it would be interesting to share some statistics about visitors to my sites (danwright.info, banasmoo.com, photography.danwright.info, and dan-anna.com).

Moroccan Roast [Chicken | Turkey | Lamb] with Couscous
Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds of meat, e.g. cut up fryer chicken, turkey parts, and/or lamb. I like about 3 lb poutry plus 1 lb of lamb (stew meat)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 3/4 cup broth (reduced sodium/fat; chicken, or “Not Chicken†vegetable)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup of whole pitted dates (the packaged dates usually have a little over a cup)
- 1 cup of dried apricots (the packaged apricots usually have a little less than a cup, but YMMV)
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- cooked couscous (can substitute rice, but it’s not exactly Moroccan)
Steps
- [night before] Combine onion, garlic, broth, orange juice, and all spices (except salt) in a bowl. Place meat in a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag, then add the marinade. Put bag in a bowl or dish, and refrigerate overnight. Turn the bag occasionally. [Note: if using turkey, cut into smaller pieces — closer to chicken–sized]
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Put the meat in the dish, and pour the marinade over it. Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes. Baste occasionally with the marinade.
- Chop the dates and apricots. Add them to the dish, cover and continue baking until the meat is done (very tender – chicken should be sliding off the bone). About 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle almonds on top and serve on a bed of couscous.
