This is what I said:

-Well, perhaps I should take lessons from the
-little marauder on my stoop. Little brat took the corn right off the
-wall:

Even if one had never seen Indian corn, which I didn't until I was in my
20s, wouldn't the fact that it was a) no longer on the wall and b) outside
on the stoop give someone the general idea it wasn't your usual eating
corn? Maybe in some places they keep their corn on the wall and when
it goes bad, turning bizarre colors (never saw eating corn do that!), a
squirrel could come in and steal it?

In context, I didn't think I'd have to explain about it being a decoration
that the squirrel managed to get their little hands one.

Especially when you included a pic of the little marauder and the corn and
it's quite obvious the corn is dried since the husks are brown.

I really don't see any reason to go into detailed explanations when as we
all know, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I agree with you Peter I've never really cared for lamb. I have tried
to like it and have tried it many, many, different ways but never
acquired a taste for it.

What made the difference for me is the following recipe made by Jamie
Utter at one of the San Diego cookins

Since then I've been eating lamb, especially lamb chops mmmmgood.

Hope you give it a try.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Skewered Lamb With Coriander Yogurt

meats

900g/2lb lean boneless lamb
1 large onion, grated
3 bay leaves
5 thyme or rosemary sprigs
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
25.ml/1/2 tsp caster sugar
75 ml/3 fl oz/ 1/3 cup olive oil
salt and ground black pepper
sprigs of rosemary, to garnish
grilled lemon wedges, to serve

For the Coriander Yogurt

150 ml/1/4 pint/2/3 cup thick natural yogurt
15 ml/1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
15ml/1 tsp chopped fresh coriander
10ml/2 tsp grated onion

The authors note that lean beef or pork work equally well. I used lamb
sirloin that I bought at Costco.

1. To make the coriander yogurt, mix together the yogurt, mint,
coriander and grated onion and transfer to a small serving dish.

2. To make the kebabs, cut the lamb into small chunks and put in a
bowl. Mix together the grated onion, herbs, lemon rind and juice,
sugar and oil, then add the salt and pepper and pour over the lamb.

3. Mix the ingredients together and leave to marinate in the fridge
for several hours or overnight.

4. Drain the meat and thread on to skewers. Arrange on a grill
rack and cook under a preheated grill for about 10 minutes
until browned, turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate
and garnish with rosemary. Serve with the grilled lemon
wedges and the coriander yogurt.

It wouldn't have mattered. That place was always packed, with
ridiculously long lines of people waiting to get in. If the rest of
them were happy with the food, I doubt that they'd have cared much if
two people were unhappy. We're nowhere near an Outhouse Steakback
where we live now, so it's become a non-issue.

Well of course a lot of the convicts transported to Australia were
Irishmen whose crimes were rebellion of various kinds against the
government, not to mention the Tolpuddle Martyrs who were early trade
unionists and classic political prisoners. The Scots who came to this
country were almost all free settlers, many of them refugees from the
highland clearances. The Scots generally prospered rather better than
the Irish, who had the added disadvantage of being Roman Catholics, a
social handicap which has only disappeared during my lifetime. Whenever
I hear people talking drivel about moslems I just remember the same sort
of things being said about the micks when I was a child and think the
more things change, the more they stay the same.

Brown the meat and braise till tender. Cool and remove the meat from the
bone. Pour the chunks of meat and liquid into a container and freeze.
Wait till you have an inspiration. There are lots of options then.
I'd probably do the braising with the roast alone in case my bright idea
later didn't involve stuff I already cooked with the roast or that
didn't freeze well.

Really? How many years of service *could* you have, if you "retired" at 33
and you've been retired for 17 years? Suppose you joined the army at age 18
and served to age 33, that works out to 15 years -- or 30% of your life,
which you apparently consider to be a "vast" proportion.

I served in the armed forces for 14 years, but when left active service I
got a job as a defense contractor, and I still work side-by-side with armed
forces personnel during military operations. In fact, I'll be doing exactly
that in just a couple hours. If you total my defense-related careers it
comes to 26 years, which is just over 50% of my life -- and I still wouldn't
refer to that as a "vast" proportion. We must have very different
perspectives on what "vast" means in that context.

I agree. Velveeta is stupid American's answer to the sophisticated
Australian masterpiece called Vegemite, Australia's national food,
religion and the main national vegetable:

/////////////////////////////////////////////
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite

Vegemite is the registered brand name for a dark brown, salty food
paste made from yeast extract, mainly used as a spread on sandwiches
and toast, though occasionally used in cooking. It is popular in
Australia and New Zealand and is known as one of Australia's national
foods.

Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of
beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste
is difficult to describe but is extremely salty and slightly bitter,
and as might be expected, malty, similar to the taste of beef bouillon.
The texture is smooth, resembling margarine. While highly popular in
Australia and New Zealand, it has never been successfully marketed
elsewhere. It is notorious for the dislike it generates amongst some
foreigners.

/////////////////////////////////////////////
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=chiko%20roll

The Chiko roll, that most Australian of icons...

Traditional Aussie version of the Asian spring roll. The major
difference being that the filling seems to be a variety of saw dust.

Chiko Rolls are most easily found in fish and chip shops, where they
will be deep-fried fresh, sometimes with both ends first dipped in
batter to prevent the toothpaste tube effect; and in greasy spoons
where they have invariably been sitting waiting in the bain marie for
the best part of a week.

The pie floater is a curious Australian food. No where else have I seen
it.

Ingredients:
· 1 meat pie
· 1 bowl of pea soup (chunky style)
· a good healping of tomato sauce

Setp1: Place the pie upsidedown (this is important!) in the pea soup.
Step2: Drown the pie in tomato sauce.
Step3: Eat.

As I said in my other message, I eat around but alternate ends
and work toward the middle. I need to add that I always start
at the stem end, which I always hold in my left hand, so that
means I always start at the left.

Thanks, I certainly will. My SO is a lamb lover, and I spose I really

Who knows....... maybe I'll end up liking it!!

I've been retired for 17 years, but had taken on several volunteer jobs.

I just retired from one of them that I didn't need all the strees from.
So now I can concentrate on being a Firefighter.

But as for growing stuff........ it's getting to the height of summer
over this way, and with the drought that we've had for quite some time,
it's going to be a long hot one. So planting stuff isn't probably the
right thing to do at this point in time.

Maybe I'll just go sand the outdoor setting back to bare wood and give
it a coat of timber oil :-)

LOL!!

She *adores* all the attention she gets when we go out, but when I leave
her at home and *anyone* but me or the SO try to get up the stairs,
she'll try and rip their throats out!!

She has her own private health insurance and life insurance. The scar on
her left knee was where she blew her cruciate ligament. I have a similar
scar on my right knee, where they took my kneecap out. But I had mine
first, so she was just trying to be like me :-)
