I do a roast chook ever now and then..Lamb with rosemary and tyme is yummy. I only tried Roasted Turkey for the first time about 3 yrs ago.It is not popular here for Christmas. Too expensive. We have a cold ham leg, and cold chicken for meats at this time of year...Salads and trifle and Pavalova is what we have on the 25th Dec. Can you imagine on a 40 degree celsius day (Christmas day is often very hot, great for a family game of cricket!) cooking a hot roast meal, even with Air conditioning it is not such a good idea to heat up the house and sweat over a hot meal. Some people still do it, but not many Aussies go for the hot meal at lunch time Christmas day....

We have a similar problem in July for our Canada Day holiday. That is when our family gets out the BBQ and throws on a leg of lamb. Then, as you say, the salads and dessert. Then when the sun finally sets, out to the Fireworks Display with something cold to eat or drink.

I was just the opposite of you TJ! When I lived in the Southern US, I missed the snow and cold winters. Though I was the only person to have a ice scraper in her car... which I did use about once a season down there (it was funny to watch everyone else try to figure out how to get 1/8 inch coating of ice off their windshields, while here I was, using a patented Northern climate ice scraper and brush! Of course explaining the credit card trick to them was kinda fun too!) This will be my 2nd winter back up north, so we'll see how fond those memories are when it's 20 degrees up here with a windchill of -10! Cold As an aside, we had our first snowfall on Monday and it was beautiful! Especially since the trees haven't dropped all their wonderfully-colored leaves yet. Anyway, Happy Turkey Day to all those that are celebrating!

All this Turkey-talk has got me hungry now! I'm a total carnivore! I like duck and goose and I agree with you guys that they are fatty but I think they have to be prepared just so. The same with lamb or goat. BBQ Duck chinese style. Lamb for me has to be done Greek style. Goat- curryed either Jamaican or Indian. Beef, Pork and Chicken any way. Rabbit BBQ with Teriaki sauce is yummy. Venison I think is an aquired taste. I've had burgers, roasts, and home-made sausage from venison, moose, and cariboo that were so good and then others that tasted like they could have been week old roadkill! (I've had that too!) My uncle was a tow-truck driver and one year he got 13 deer from people that had hit them with their cars. So he would dispose of the carcass as well as your car. I'm guessing it's how it's prepared, seasoned, and what portion of the animal you're using.

HUH what you have [I]never had lamb![I/] New Zealand sends its condolences... And it is very popular roast here as well, we have a sizable sheep population, and so does NZ. I think the English love a lamb roast too... Lets go cooking in Ebonyswanne's kitchen...Ebony smiled as she looked at the excited young girl who had just walked through the door. "Hi jun glad you could make your first cooking lesson." "Well you know I figured if I learned how to cook...Ken might finally notice me. They say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach." Jun sighed and looked around the kitchen... Ebony gets out her chefs hat and cooking tools and the lesson beginsChef Here is a simple but nice leg of lamb marinade, 2 tblspoons Olive oil hand fullRosemary 3 cloves garlic pepper/salt sprinkled hand full mint small jar Djion mustard mix it all together and then rub all over the leg of lamb and then roast in the oven for 1 1/2 hrs aprox, never overcook lamb, the centre should be still a light pink for it to stay tender. With the juices just as add about 2 tblespoons of cornflour(mixed in a bit of water first) stir until thickened and then put it through a sive to smooth it out... "Hi Ebony..." Ryu waves as he walks through the door. "G'day Ryu, glad to see you could make it for dinner.." Ebony gives the big guy a hug. "I hope you don't mind I invited some friends." He indicated behind him to Ken and Joe who were just walking through the door. "He's just here because someone offered him a free meal." Joe grinned and pointed at Ken who shot Joe an innocent look. "I...I...like a woman that can cook..." Ken mumbled as he took his seat at the table... "Hey Sis" Jinpei called out as he bounded through the door..."Whats for dessert!" The Swallow sat down at the head of the table... Jun put up her hands with pride at the fact that she didn't burn anything for a change...(Ebony kept a close eye on her.) "Why Pavalova of course!" She caught Ken's eyes as he smiled back...

Interesting Ebony, I had heard the English do not like lamb. They always think of lamb as Mutton which I gather is tough. But maybe that is a story I remember from my Gandmother and Grandfather from back in the War Years.

Ebony, my family IS British. And my parents introduced me to lamb when I was a youngster. I figured it was a Canadian thing to like lamb. But then my parents love to experiment with different foods. They eat: Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Caribbean..... Where ever they visit they eat the "local" foods. Not like the typical NA who sticks with what they know. *sorry, I am stereotyping here* I am not as willing as they are to tempt my taste buds, but I do have my favourites from different cultures.

Hey TJ good work darling! Yes thats what mutton is...and old tough sheep! Lamb an young cute woolly sheep that tastes great when cooked up in a roast.... "Ahhh Jun..." Ken breathed the words out as he closed his eyes and and let the his senses take over..."Your so good...I just want to-" But he was interrupted before he could tell her his thoughts" Save it Ken, please not at the dinner table." Joe jabbed Ken in the ribs making him jump and snap out of his trance. "Joe shut up and eat your Lamb or next time just for you its mutton!" The Swan glared at the Condor before casting her eyes on her target as she battered her eyelashes at him seductively..."Ahh yes Ken you were saying.."Jun prodded him looking into his blue eyes with hope, maybe he was finally coming around. "Just Jun this is actually good...so ahhh you wanna cook for me at the shack tomorrow night?" Ken leaned in closer to the Swan. But the Condor smiled."She would Ken but you see she's cooking for me instead at the trailer and well...dessert is under the stars babe." Joe winked at Jun as if she had already agreed. That got the Condor a swift kick in the shins from Ken followed by a good side punch, Ken then flipped back the Condors chair so Joe went sprawling across the floor. "Are you taking all of this in Ryu!" The Swallow asked his off sider excitedly. "Sure am Jin...so mmm ...Jun...which one?"Ryu raise and eyebrow inquiring what she planned to do about the situation. Jun looked over at Joe who was picking himself up of the floor. "Would you settle for me,Creme Brulee, candles...and maybe a-" the Eagle asked Jun as Joe grabbed Ken by the collar and dragged him from his chair towards the door. "Lets settle this outside..."Joe casually interrupted Ken as he flung him out the door."No one throws me off a chair, and then gets away with it Eagle boy...so lets settle this man to man..." "Oh" Jun breathed excitedly as she cupped her cheeks in her hands to hide how much she was blushing."I wonder what the last part of the offer was!" And her green eyes went wide as she imagined what it could be, she watched the door close behind the Eagle and the Condor as they went for their "man to man" discussion....

you may have a point CD! Three left at the table looked at each other,"Anyone for dessert?" Ebony asked as she came out of the kitchen. "Where's Joe and Ken?" She asked looking around for the missing guests. "Having a man to man talk about who is best for the Swan...something like that." Jinpei threw in taking the last bite of his meal. "Oh...nothing new then..." Ebony then went back to the business of serving out dessert, as she headed back into the kitchen she looked over her shoulder at Jun. "Well tell them when they have sorted it out they can come back for some Pavlova..." Jun smiled. "My pleasure." Then the Swan got up from the table and made her way out the door. A few moments later she returned grinning from ear to ear and sat quietly down at the table... "Weeellll" Jin asked studying his sisters face for some clue as to what was going on out there. l "Ebony was right...the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, I'm signing up for some more cooking lessons." Then she looked at the dessert that she had made in front of her and took a bite."Mmmmm" she moaned as she closed her eyes to take in the sweet sensation with the slight twing of the passionfruit hitting her taste buds... Then something else followed it unexpectedly.... The feel of soft lips on hers and a tongue gently parted her lips as the kiss deepened...she opened her eyes to met with two clear blue eyes...the left eye was going purple around the edges. "Thats one way to enjoy dessert..." He whispered softly in her ear. "Oh Ken."Was all she managed breathlessly as she gazed into his eyes. "Want to go back to my place after we finish here?" He asked as he leaned in to put a spoon full of the Pavlova with some white chocolate cream and a strawberry in her open mouth, and then he leaned in to kiss her again, much to the shock of the Swallow and the Owl. Jun only had the chance to nod her head ask she circled her arms around his neck and moaned as he kissed her. Joe stood leaning against the door."Damn... he did it!" And the disappointed Condor shook his head. "Whatta ya mean Joe?" Ryu asked him as he scoffed his third serving of Pavlova. "I told Ken that if he didn't act on his feelings straight away...then I was taking Jun out on a date tonight..." Joe bowed his head and put on his usual mask. "Common bro..."Ryu called out to him..."Come and eat your dessert, it is Thanksgiving after all!" "Yeah your right big guy..."The Condor came back to his place at the table. "The best one yet!" Ken said when they finally came up for air...

It's funny... I had turkey last weekend and my wife ended up making turkey stew yesterday with the left overs. So I had turkey on American Thanksgiving after all (and on Canadian Thanksgiving last month also). But then again I enjoy turkey and stuffing and gravy. I'm sure I'll have it at least once on Christmas too (considering I'll be going to two separate Christmas dinners - my family & hers). Wink One year I had Christmas dinner at my uncle's place - he is a butcher and an avid hunter so that year we had moose and goose for dinner. That's the order you have to mention them in otherwise you are goosing the moose. Eyebrows It was a very good meal. Moose gravy was fantastic. Both animals had a wild taste to them that you don't find in domestic animals. That taste takes a bit to get used to but I grew up eating wild game so it didn't bother me.

I never had the chance to try kangaroo yet... yet. Moose is a type of deer so it is very close to venison but with a richer taste IMNSHO. It has been years since I've had venison though so I'm going by my not-so great memory. *grin* My dad used to hunt so I grew up eating wild duck, venison, rabbit pot pie (yum!), and various fresh water fish (mmm fried catfish).

Ooh, name dropping.... let's see... I was in the same class at school as two of the Rogers kids (as in the owners of Rogers Communications). One of them made my life a living hell, the other kind of liked me in the way that boys and girls 'like' each other when they're 7.

I saw this on the local news last night. The two newsanchors and their sidekicks were on. Springie, I love Numbu's expression. He seems to be saying I can't believe I'm doing this.

Originally posted by Sosai X Ya, when TJ lived in Toronto, I lived in Kingston, Ontario. Both TJ and I went to the same university and had common friends in Kingston even though at the time we didn't know each other. Wink it took a Gatchaman message board for us to finally "meet". Wave2 My other claim to fame is I went to the same High School as Avril Lavigne. LOL, actually I went to the same high school a few years ahead of her so I didn't actually know her (since I don't listen to her music I still don't know her - just by name only).
While all the name dropping is going on... I live in the same area that the Wiggles grew up in! Yep they were Blacktown boys... Car

Just to get everyone in the holiday mood, here's a little ditty I wrote last year: Jinpei the red-nosed ninja Had so very many foes And when you saw him fight them You could see their numbers grow All of the other ninjas Used to help him play his games But they never let poor Jinpei Die in those Galactor flames Then one dark and foggy eve Galactor came to play Jinpei and his team in flight Kicked their butts into the night All of the ninjas love him Especially the number three Jinpei the red-nosed ninja The proudest boy you'll ever see!
