Jeez, it's just like being back in school and trying to sneak in late past the teacher's watchful gaze! My excuse, FWIW, I was otherwise engaged and only just now am I getting a little free time. I've had 2 trips to Sydney in a week just recently, that being over a 1000 kilometre round trip each time. Once was by bus. I don't recommend that for old bones. Actually, the down bus trip was OK, a twelve seater bus and quick, six and a half hour run down. That was a freebie as a friend was returning a bus to Sydney from Brisbane and he picked me up on the way through. The return was not so quick (nor free). A large bus with hellishly uncomfortable seats and a ten hour run. The second run down was by car, much better. These trips might be a semi-regular thing for a while, possibly even some in the other direction to Brisbane. It is winter now (officially from today) so I might just get a little more posting time. That said, winters here are not cold. The nights get a little chilly but the days hover round a rather pleasant 20 degrees C. Anyway, we'll see how matters eventuate. -- Xeno. |

Nice, when you have dinner guests, to have a half bird on the plate instead of a hacked up chicken . Other than that, I'd just as well h ave a chicken, same flavor at 1/3 the price. |

Plenty of trees, no fences, pretty good privacy. Nice place to relax while dinner is cooking on the grill. Maybe read the paper while sipping a G&T. It is one of life's little pleasures to enjoy while we can. |

It isn't illegal to keep all > those hens in those cages? I don't know what you mean about Walmart, but the law went into effect in CA on January 1. 2015, and it applies to eggs that are sold in CA too. "Next month, all of California's 15 million egg-laying hens must be freed from the cramped, restrictive battery cages that have long been used on most egg farms. In the future, they will have enough space to stand up, lie down, turn around, and spread their wings without touching another bird. Though they are no doubt unaware of it, they have waited more than six years and four lawsuits for the extra space. Proposition 2, which passed in 2008 by a landslide 63.5% of the vote, also covers gestating pigs and veal calves, but there are few pig and veal operations in the state, so the law's biggest effect is on the hens. A separate law requires all out-of-state egg producers that sell to California (which gets about a third of its eggs from farmers outside the state) to comply with the same housing standards for hens." |

Ahh excellent! My comment about Walmart was because in searching through the LATimes site you posted, it was the only comment I could find about chickens. > "Next month, all of California's 15 million egg-laying hens must be freed > from the cramped, restrictive battery cages that have long been used on > most egg farms.

Other than that, I'd just as well h >ave a chicken, same flavor at 1/3 the price. There's no reason for serving "hacked up" chicken, I usually disjoint a whole bird and bake all its parts on a rack in a roasting pan, everyone can have whichever part and all are nicely browned, none are hacked up... or I'll roast a large chicken whole, which is just as easy to carve neatly as a holiday turkey at table, or I'll carve it all away from guests and place it attactively/garnished on a platter for service. As to rock cornish game hens (just a small hybrid chicken) I'm not fond of them, they consist primarily of bone and fat, they may may make for an attractive presentation but they are messy to eat and they contain very little that's edible (~6 ounces of meat at best). They are typically sold in twos because that's what's intended to feed two small portions although I will eat both and still be hungry... if anyone is buying rock cornish game hens that one is two servings then they are a vry small eater or it's NOT a true rock cornish game hen, probably a broiler. About 50% of a raw chicken by weight after cooking is waste... I consider a 6 pound roaster four adult servings... there's about twice as much white as dark. For six people I'll roast two 6 pound chickens, I like to serve enough so there'll left overs, I don't like to run out. Left over chicken is never wasted. I don't remember ever serving guests rock cornish game hens, they are pretentious and people leave hungry... a half is truly an appetizer, albeit messy... most guests rather not have to play with their food in public so most of the game hen is left on their plate wasted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_game_hen |

Grocery Outlet is the only place I know of that sells them by the each and it's not hit and miss either. I don't shop there very often, but they are in the freezer whenever I want one. -- sf |

If you think about it, if you kept going to store A because the size of the bird fit your family, store B is apt to notice and may start selling 2 sizes to get you back. I have a home vertisserie (vertial unit) that can hold up to a 4.5lb bird but I normally want 2lbs or a bit less in there for our needs. > BTW.... if cooking your own your should try the recipe my wife loves > for me to do.

It's a trade off of small footprint to store it, and ability to stuff. You pretty much need a horizontal unit for what you describe or a larger vertical one where you can neck down the chicken off prongs (which I do not have). Don't worry. I am happy with the unit I got in 2003 or so. Back then, it was the only brand but since then, the rotisserie makers are at last selling similar counter top ones that take little space. They seem to lack the metal crockpot top mine has where you fix a side dish at the same time though. Carol -- |

Grin, In Japan once at Thanksgiving when my ship pulled in at just after the commissary closed on Wed before Thanksgiving, that was all we had. We 3 made a meal and had leftovers of chicken because i had lots of sides. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Xxcarol's Japan Thanksgiving Categories: Xxcarol, Holiday, Cornish hen Yield: 3 Servings 2 c Stuffing-baked 1 ea Cornish hen 1 lg Japanese sweet yam 2 c Rice- medium calrose 1/4 c Saki 1/4 c Smashed japanese grapes-red 3 sm Carrots- sliced pretty 2 md Japanese cucumbers 3 sl Bitter melon 4 ea Green onions- whole 1 c Red beans- sweet Ok, whaddaya do when you get in port at 6pm day the day before Thanksgiving? You start by defrosting the only 'bird' ya got! That was a cornish hen. Split 3 ways, it's not alot of meat but we have the other stuff to makeup for that. Make up stuffing (I used bagged pepperidge farm) and stuff the hen as much as reasonably possible. The rest goes in a baking dish to the side. Make a batch of rice in the ricemaker and in the steamer above, add the red beans (pre-cooked) and the bitter melon slices. Slice the sweet yam and add to it the saki and mashed grapes. Add sufficient water to cover and taste test for sweetness once the yams are done. Add molasses or light karo syrup to taste. Baste the hen with the sauces from the yam pot (add more to yam pot as needed). Steam or blanche the carrots lightly then add the fresh cucumber. A dab of sugared ginger atop makes it perfect! No dressing needed but if you insist, make it a sweet-vinigary one. 5 mins before the hen is done, lace the green onions into a chain and ring them around the bird. When all is done, put the hen on a platter with the yams to the side and use an ice-cream scoop to ball up stuffing on the other side. Place green onion ring around it all and the carrots/cucumbers towards the feet. In this case, a lazy-susan dish is perfect if large! I added rice and sweet beans to the head portion of mine (extra at the stove) and put a slice of bitter melon on each plate. Dessert? We were too stuffed! But we had on the ready, fresh tangerines and vanilla ice-cream. Line the dish with the tangerine slices then add a scoop of ice-cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. From the kitchen of: xxcarol 22 November 2001 Sasebo Japan MMMMM -- |

They are perfect for a single eater or a couple with lots f sides who don't want 50% meat diet. USDA recommendations would be to split one per 2 people and there would be leftovers (about right amount for a child of 7-8). Even today, one will feed 3 of us (all adult now) but that isn't because we don't eat, but because we are a bit closer to USDA recommendations so meat on the plate here is apt to be 1/4 of it. I'd pair rice or potatoes, 2 veggies, and fruit. Might add a salad. Carol -- |

Since everyone here likes the dark meat best (including the dogs and cat giving me the sad suffering eye if they get only the breast), we tend more to getting thighs or leg quarters. -- |

I like to be able to do that and also I can control the salt of the exterior seasonings as my husband is salt reactive for his blood pressure so we have to watch that. On cleanup, it's just the pan and the lifter unit which both go in the dishwasher. No hassle for us. Carol -- |

Since we are feeding 3, I assume a bit more there on the sides. Carol -- |
