Roasting roo fillet
...first time for everything. I've done a sort-of-roast with it before, using Kylie Kwong's braised bacon method (red wine, vinegar, black cherries yada), but I've never really got the hang of roasting per se... you know, timing the veges perfectly and all that. Mum never did'em. Anyone know how to persuade Mothers In Law to give up their trade secrets?
'Speriment - mixed a number of methods found online and went with: veges (purple, white and gold sweet potato, shallots, kipfler spuds, carrot, pumpkin) tossed in oil, orange habanero chili and rosemary - kangaroo fillet slashed, tossed in the same mixture, laid on top - crushed sea salt and black pepper over the lot. Bit of pho for stock, took the roo off after 20 mins (nicely crusty & bloody)... give the veges what, another 20? Watch this space.
Finally found a shop which *routinely* stocks black dhal :) . Think I'll do that Wednesday - takes 24 hours of soaking and rinsing to zap the toxins. Soften the bejesus out of it, then simmer with cream, cream, tomato puree and cream. NUM.

Rain! :) should help settle new bed I made this morning - huge problem embankment, once a super tomato/jerusalem artichoke bed, which now doesn't even grow weeds due to ants. Little bit of terraforming should (hopefully) change that...

SoA: Jeff Kober! JEFF *FUCKING* KOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *DANCES* OMG some real honest to god MyStyle Tottie. Now not thinking about Halecest at all nuhuh not a bit of it
Ahem. What I was going to say was... can't help wondering, is there anything, ANYTHING, Tig *hasn't* fucked (or at least tried to)? Trying really, really hard not to look for Tig/Dead Wetback and-or Dead Niner and or deadanyfrigginbodyreally fic. Please tell me somebody's written him locked in a small room with Ms ATF Hardnose Bitch.
Or Mitch Pileggi's character. Still have a bit of trouble buying him as an Aryan Fuck; he's too cuddly to carry it off, so far. On the other hand I find myself warming to the "white hate" chap Hale's brother introduced him to ...not for his racial views, christ no. But because he disagrees with Giving Every Schoolchild A Trophy Whether They Earned It Or Not.
Ooohhhh dear. *cowers in case factota of FACS, DOCS or any other fucking Department which interferes in teaching is watching*
Whatever. I concur. Send more beer.
Tell you what, whatever the problems with SoA - and it has problems, I'll admit it - that's the best goddamn soundtrack I've heard in a while. Let's hope s2 gets a bit beefier, writingwise...
