Save that they are one of the single most annoying birds you can have in your chicken yard!! The only thing that tops it is a peacock!! GADS...my apprentice Robert has peafow...absolutely gorgeous birds to look at...opinions vary widely on any other usage....
 
Guineas have one of the most wierd, wild, bizarre calls....used in many 'jungle sound tracks..
 
I've raised em, and slaughtered em...

I won't be at that event, but if you create either a class handout  
that will work as an article or an actual article, I'd be interested  
in having either for the Florilegium.

I just recently created a general discussion file on cooking  
competitions and one or two reviews of specific cooking  
competitions.  I hope to be adding a few more in the near future as I  
get them edited.

OK guys...I'm going to try to make wine jelly following Gunthar's recipe
that he sent out recently.  I'm planning to use a locally produced (about
15
miles down the road in Solomons, MD wine...a Black Raspberry Merlot...for
the jelly.  However, all I have on hand is Ball liquid pectin rather than
dry.  The directions on the box seem to indicate that it works the same as
dry...is this the case.  Gunthar's recipe specifies dry.  What do you folks
think?  Am I ok to use the liquid?

Thanks!!

Oh yeh, I think you'll be just fine.

It's made to work with X amount of liquid. As long as you work with X 
amount of liquid, and the prescribed amounts of sugar and lemon juice 
.. you should be just fine.

Enjoy!

I think I understand what you're saying...Gunthar's recipe calls for 3
1/2
cups of wine, lemon juice, sugar and 1 packet of dry pectin.  Should I cut
back on the amount of liquid (i.e. cut back the amount of wine) to equal the
liquid in the pectin?

Heritage Foods USA are now offering guinea fowl.
"We are thrilled to offer for the first time pearl guinea fowl, also 
known as pintade, faraona, African pheasant or guinea hen, a bird native 
to West Africa.  These fowl are raised on Carey Farms in Lindsborg, 
Kansas another member of the Good Shepherd Ranch farming group. "

They are pretty expensive, but if they might be a great contest entry or 
head table dish.

One of the people in my cooking group wants to make clary wine (as a lot of our
recipes call for it).  For clary wine we need the flowers from clary sage
plants.  Unfortunately, if planted from seed, it takes a year before the plants
bloom.  We only have six months.

Does anyone have a source for the clary sage flowers, or perhaps the plants?  


In Service,
Katheline

I can't be certain, but it was my understanding that many of the clary  
references in medieval recipes are to claret wine, which is, as I  
recall, a light Bordeaux. I wasn't aware of the need for clary sage to  
make it...

Is there something that documents this connection, or could this just  
be some supposition on your friend's part?

I agree with Master A on this. I hadn't even thought
of a wine made from clary sage. Every mention I've
seen of this appears to indicate a Claret (pronounced
"Clary").

It occurred to me afterward to look for instances of clary sage being  
added to wine, and I didn't find them. Ale, yes, and other types of  
sage as well as clary sage used in beers and ales, but nothing about  
wine in what I saw...

Maybe there's something in Villanova...
