SC - OT - Antopodean Holidays

[Liam Fisher]

>only knows what my mother-in-law will do. One of her standard holiday
>goodies is named in English (I forget the Toisanese/Cantonese name)
>oyster gold coins, which are shucked oysters sitting in a black mushroom
>cap, wrapped in caul fat, dipped in a thin eggy batter and deep fried.

Aside from the barrage of fat, it sounds pretty good...maybe I'll have to 
try them...sans the fat, no way you could eat them hot, maybe wrap it in 
second cap or figure something else out, a strip of lean bacon 
maybe...*shrugs* decent Oysters I can get year round.

I ususally make the Turkey with cornbread sausage dressing(not stuffed in 
the bird, just makes it too long to cook and sucks all the juices out of the 
breast meat because by the time the stuffing is at 180F, the breast meat has 
men with camels living in it but I put pan drippings from the turkey in it 
as they cook), oyster cassarole (one of two varieties, one orientalish, one 
english), mashed potatos, and of course spiced gravy.  Various pickles from 
various dead relative's recipies, and appetizers...usually I serve some form 
of veggie that appeals to the crew, usually done by poll when they arrive, 
and freshly steamed.  Desert is usually brought, or if I can I make a pie of 
somekind (gonna use the mincemeat recipe from Ras' Weekend of Wisdom recipes 
since I like that one *grins*) and I occasionally throw out the medieval 
recipe instead of a traditional one (frumenty...etc)

If I don't cook, I get whatever their whim dictates, if I eat at my Dad's I 
get a wonderful country dinner with all the trimmings (and about 5 points of 
cholesterol)


Now I'm hungry....
