The phrase “dog days of summer” has taken on a whole new meaning for tourists on some of Italy’s beaches, where, as well as the traditional human lifeguard, they may well see a red-uniformed dog.

Wow, the blockbuster holidays just keep comin ‘ this month: did you know it’s national Clown Week?!? Needless to say, the clowns of the world (the ones who wear make-up, I mean) couldn’t be happier about the week-long celebration: “Beat it, kid. I’m on a break.” Oh. Well, I mean, most of the clowns are excited. Why, just look at this giddy fella! Tell me, Mr. Bubbles, have you ever felt more alive? Mr. Bubbles? Uh…sir? [honking rubber nose] Hello?

Being a novice in this cuisine, my first attempts at finding an appropriate recipe led me to a Peruvian rotisserie chicken instead, which was fine and dandy, but not what this rotisserie was ultimately destined for. With a few months time, a little research, and a lot more cooking and tasting, I’ve finally come to the answer of what makes that chicken so great—something that would probably have been blatantly obvious to anyone more experienced in this realm— it’s doused in mojo sauce! I knew there was a strong acidity to those lovely birds, and mojo sauce is built on a base of sour oranges . My hood not being the largest supplier of this breed of orange (I couldn’t find a one), I instead went with a mixture of regular orange juice, lemon, and lime which was combined with oil, garlic, oregano, and cumin to form the marinade. This was then dumped over a chicken and let marinate for about 4 hours before being set on the rotisserie to…
