    I was just reading my recipe book there and there were some great tips to prevent a dry baby.

    Apparently, one makes a small incision along the spine,
    inserts ones fingers,
    then using ones finger one carefully separates the skin from the flesh underneath.
    Next, get some butter and seasoning and spread it around between the flesh and skin.
    Then, pack the abdominal cavity with some crushed garlic cloves and several whole onions befpre covering in tin foil and placing in the oven.
    Btw, don't throw out the baby giblets, they make a lovely gravy!!

    Ah, you must cook your babies in the George Forman Grill. Dry, very dry indeed.

    I am not an Atheist and I am not not a Christian. But I celebrate it for the simple reason that its a celebration. It makes me happy that there are people around me celebrating it and look happy. I love the Christmas lights and the festivities that go with it. I like the food which I am served when I am invited by my Christian friends to their home to partake in their meals. Seeing the joy and happiness my Christans friends' faces makes me feel great and I celebrate Christmas with them. No problem if you are not a Christian (or if you are an Atheist) I think. I am not. I am Hindu/Buddhist and I feel nothing wrong with celebrating with my fellow friends. Lets celebrate!

    Hang for 30 days then marinade the night before cooking. So tender and moist it makes baby Jesus cry

    That depends, is he a modern two year old or an old fashioned one? Old fashioned would be out running around all the time, can be quite tough. Modern is sitting in front of the TV, not using the muscles too much... yummy.

    I reckon it's not worth hanging a baby over 18 months for more than a few days - becomes too gamey in flavour, unless the baby was fed exclusively on vegetable/fruit puree and milk products.

    What marinade would you use? I favour a nice "cook-in" marinade - garlic, yoghurt and turmeric, mmmm:-)

    A good baby massage can help tenderize things wonderfully.

    It astonished me to discover that Christmas is a big thing in Japan and Singapore, neither of which is particularly Christian. But Christmas has really caught on in those countries.:)

    I was really surprised at how popular it was myself. While walking down Orchard Road I found myself giggling like a lunatic when I spotted this manger scene...apparently Jesus was a big baby! :p

    I celebrate destroying the fùckin' turkey and then spend the rest of the day paralysed, wishing I didn't eat so much.

    It's a tradition thing. :pac:

    I celebrate by insisting on calling the 26th of Dec 'Boxing Day' just to drive my Catholic Republican who does all her shopping in M&S and buys the Sunday Mail mother spare. It's a tradition thing.

    As a family we gather on the 25th in my sister's house and play let's kill her potted plants by surreptitiously pouring the disgusting glasses of sweet sherry we all get to toast my grandmother's memory into them.

    That is also a tradition thing - except for my big sis who drinks her's and wonders why all her plants die around New Year.

    Your lack of concern for vegetable rights is, frankly, appalling.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Interestingly rubber plants seem partial to a yuletide glass of sweet sherry. I've been trying to kill the same one for 6 years now and it just keeps getting bigger...and I suspect it watches me...sometimes it rustles when I enter the room....
    It's starting to freak me out a bit to be honest

    Brother has done for 3 orchids, 2 Christmas cacti and a yucca but then he is a capitalist, industrialist á la carte Catholic white heterosexual male (with a hint of ginger in his hair remaining hair) so that's hardly surprising...and he's the one who buys the hideous liquid. There must be better sherrys out there than that sugar syrup with a hint of balsamic vinegar concoction he presents us will every year...and now that I think about it we never see the bottle....:eek:

    oooohhhh...I can't do port...nevereverevergagain....see I was a toddler many years ago...a toddler who saw a film where a matador poured drink from a bottle with a bull's head spout thingy on it...I was a toddler who recalled that me Nan had just such a bulls head spout thing on a bottle of stuff...I was a toddler who thought that matador looked cool doing the pouring thing...I was a toddler who wondered if I could do the pouring thing with the bulls head spout thingy...it took a few weeks of practice but eventually I was a toddler who got real good at pouring the dark red liquid from the bulls head spout thingy...shortly after performing my secret trick every night I was a toddler who staggered around 'exhausted' and had to be put to bed...

    ...now I am middle aged and feel quite ill if I even I smell port...or glace cherries but that's different tale of toddler adventures...;)

    I do love the corruption of christmas carols. The Lovecraftian ones are the best.
