Oh like you guys have never full body tackled a chicken

Surely that's what butchers are for?

You walk in, point to the body parts of the species of your choice, tell them what bits you want removing, and they do it at a speed that makes your eyes water if you try to follow.

I ain't got butcher money. I grab those fuckers out of the yard. I go by who's pissed me off the most.

Beef olives! Now I'm going to have to go to the butcher at the weekend. They make the best beef olives.

We managed seven pages of actual civility! Is that some sort of record?

Not at all. The old late night threads were very civil.

That seems like a winning combination and elegant in it's simplicity.

Turns out when you live in a tiny beachside town, getting the biscuit things you need to make tiramisu is not so easy!

Ours will be pretty typical Sydney with a dry hot day forecast. Mainly seafood- big prawns, some yabbies, mebbe crab if they're good - Fish baked, probably, Barramundi.

Two tips. If you are cooking very small chickens, pheasants or other game birds in an oven put them in the pan upside down, then the breast meat won't dry out. You can flip them near the end to brown off.

We don't make Yorkshire pudding in summer but if you are, use about 25% buckwheat flour, definite flavour improvement.

I'm glad our generation have finally gotten over the Southern Hemisphere insistence on huge winter dinners for Christmas. I might try for baked fish next year ...

Potato starch? I don't even know what 'cake flour' is!
... the ex is just bringing store bought ones from the big city.

I've done this with my turkey as long as I can remember, and the bird is always wonderful!! That backfat just melts into the white meat.
Don't forget to bend the wing tips back before baking to provide a built-in stand to keep the bird upright

I usually have some sort of liquid involved in cooking chicken. At the moment, it's cut up apples and cider, which the chicken cooked in, and then while it's rested, the apple/cider are then cooked down to make a gravy/sauce thing. Juicy meat with a hint of apple flavour, and a delicious accompaniment.

Potato starch makes the sponge lighter. Could probably be substituted by corn starch. Cake flour is just flour that has baking powder already added.

They're easy to make for when the ex can't bring store bought.

Ladies Fingers reciepe -

take one non male and an axe, chop off the fingers of either one or two hands, dependant on number of guests, blood lust etc, (will present housework complications at a future date)

fingers can be served as an alternative to prawn cocktail, or sausage surprise.
