Coffee and some get up and go please.
I think we all needed this reassurance.
I had to sign in again too on my desktop.
Thank you very kindly.
The pizza I had for dinns last night was dodgy - so some gastrostop and a dingo's breakfast please.
I keep being told that time is money. How then does this work? Thank you for the coffee.
Have too many celebrations to attend this weekend. So could I please have 2 extra days and a potful of coffee please.
Wait six months. Even three months.
Moisture - they're after water. Smeggy's trick with half/half icing sugar and borax works well.
The buffet is just the chest/breast portion - no legs or wings I think and these are the usual failure points. As a solid lump its fairly easy to get right. I would still cut out the backbone and spatchcock the bird for ease of cooking/serving. Reduces cooking time too. Although a 4+ kg buffet is still 2-3 hours in the oven depending on the temperature used. There are probably instructions on the package.
Best xmas movie ever I reckon.
