HO HO HO!!!

Merry xmas and all that stuff to y'all. The kids are all happy with
the materialistic gifts we showered onto them. The coffee pot I got
for my wife was broken out of the box, and we only have one bottle of
wine left to try out her fancy new wine cork opener thingie on. I got
an extension cord reel thingie and a pair of "ratcheting" adjustable
wrenches and some Hickory Farms stuff from my dad. How did y'all make
out? I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday.

I made out great. Got a new propane heater for the shop. One of those
turbo-types that construction crews use to heat areas so I know I will
be toasty. I love my wife.

Sweet. I've been wanting one of those for years. I was visiting a
friend of mine in Rocky Mt once years ago and he and some other guys
were in a band. They practiced out in a big old barn. A bunch of us
went out there to listen to them practice and drink some beer. It was
super cold outside but when we got to the barn one of the guys fired
up one of those heater things (although I think it was a kerosene
version) and it heated up the whole freakin' barn in about 10 minutes.
Got so hot we that we took our coats off and opened the door some to
cool off. HO HO HO!!!

We have several of those heaters. They really put out the heat but require
from one to three 100# tanks(depending on BTU output) hooked together, to
supply enough propane to keep them going. Also, good ventilation is a must.
Have fun!

Yep, we got some of those too, in various outputs. Much easier to use, but
dirtier and smellier. Not good in an area where you plan to do any painting
as combustion byproducts will leave a residue that paint won't stick well
to. As with the propane, you need lots of ventilation if you want to keeep
on breathing.

Hey, that sounds like me. Much easier to use, but dirtier and
smellier. WOOT! I think I might get one tomorrow. :-D

I usually do. I'll leave it at that. I'm glad to know my backspace
key works so well. :-)

Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table.
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the
service stations.



Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes,
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook
it to perfection!

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions,
and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions,
celery, green onions, and parsley.
Place roast on top with fat side up.
Place uncovered in 500° oven for 20

on paper towels.



Miscarriage with Mustard Greens

Why waste it? Otherwise, and in general, use ham or salt pork to season greens.
The technique of smothering greens can be used with many vegetables;
green beans work especially well. Meat is not necessary every day, don?t
be afraid to alter any dish to vegetarian tastes.

1 premature baby, born dead
Large bunch of mustard greens
2 white onions, 1 cup chopped celery
Vegetable oil (or hog fat)
Salt, pepper, garlic, etc.

Lightly brown onions, celery, garlic and meat in large heavy pot.
Add a little water and the greens (which should be thoroughly cleaned and washed).
Smother slowly for at least 2 hours, adding small amounts of water
when it starts to stick.
Stir frequently.
When ready - serve with rice, grilled smoked sausage, green salad, and iced tea.
Coffee and apple pie then brandy.



Maternity Ward Pot Luck Dinner

If you can?t get anything fresh from the hospital, nursery, or morgue;
you can at least get rid of all the leftovers in your refrigerator.

1 - 2 lbs. cubed meat (human flesh, chicken, turkey, beef...)
1 -2 lbs. coarsely chopped vegetables
(carrots, potatoes, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage...)
Bell pepper
onions
garlic
ginger
salt pepper, etc.
Olive oil
butter

Brown the meat and some chopped onions, peppers, and garilic in olive oil,
place in baking dish, layer with vegetables seasoning and butter.
Bake at 325° for 30 - 45 minutes.
Serve with hot dinner rolls, fruit salad and sparkling water.



Bébé Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths -
and babies? heads stuf

idols nor graven image. (and) Ye shall keep my Sabbath.
Leviticus 26: 1,2
[...else...]

Ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat.
Leviticus 26:29


Roast Child with Cornbread Stuffing

Turkey may be substituted for this classic holiday feast.
Although time consuming, this dish seems to take longer than it actually does;
as the entire house is filled with such a heavenly aroma,
the waiting becomes almost unbearable.

1 whole child, cleaned and de-headed
1 batch cornbread stuffing (see index)
½ cup melted butter

Remove the giblets from the infant and set aside.
Stuff the cavity where the child?s genitals and anus were located
using ½ cup per pound of meat.
Tie the arms flat to the body, then pull the skin flaps up to close the cavity.
Now tie the thighs up tight to hold it all together.
Place breast side up in a large metal roasting pan.
Bake in 325° oven covered for 2 hours.
