Hello Again Christina. Realise I was reading your TG dinner out of order and also that it is my third reply to you this morning. There is a reason. I was woken as the possum that has recently been roosting in my verandah roofspace returned home at about 0330, and some times makes a very loud noise at lands on our roof. They forage great distance in many suburbs , tending to stay well off ht ground by using the network of trees , rooves and overhead power lines. Even their tail is very strong and prehensile. Although same name as US, different species completely. I have found now its entry point, but they are clever at fining gaps and loose roof tiles. At least it is not mating season as they make a hell of a racket.
Our sunrise is v early now at 0445. And sort of can't easily get to sleep again AM chores done so nice to read your stuff.
Loved your appetiser a lot. In distant past if entertaining for a lot, one v simple finger food type of thing we did ( it was the 70's and people did use splades!) was ?Devils on Horseback, Bacon wrapped around large date and grilled and served on a piece of crisp lettuce.
Agree v much that must boil potato with skin on and a ricer is the only way.
And a great table pic! With pumpkins. Saw an article just back about how much was spent on their purchase and the estimate of wastage
A great Total Use of the Pumkin (except the stalk bit) Recipe : Use the skins for chips by roasting, the seed also roasted, and roast the flesh and then soup for which so mant iterations, but do like with some orange juice in mix.
And Homage to Turkey !( and many other poultry). My Great Grandfather as well as being a sheep farmer (a lot of ), raised ostriches for their feathers then, around 1900. After that fashion passed , after a trip to the US, he imported Bronzewing turkeys and won prizes and intrduced them locally This was in Central Queensland, So not just feral foxes, large raptors (eagles and Kites wich can carry even a turkey aloft, but very big goannas ( smaller version Komodo dragon) to contend with.
And to sign off, Congratulations as you completion of your book draws near.
Hope some or more of this interesting and/or entertainig, Cristoffa.
Endive cup is my new favorite concept - I need to try this!
