 ML> that that's not the way the trickle-down theory works.
 GJ> It didn't help the poor much in the days of fief or other forms of
 GJ> slavery, but once the lords and masters had to pay the forelock
 GJ> pullers for their services, things improved.

 ML> Not by much, and if things hadn't improved more for the lords
 ML> and masters than for the forelock pullers, the system would
 ML> not have evolved.

The French had an alternative method of achieving equality, by very
literally removing the heads of state and lords.
 
 ML> And if one orders steak, potato, and two veg and gets only one veg

 GJ> I should hope so.
 ML> Should have written "eats."

I have just heard that there is a hotel in Copenhagen which has a
pedal-powered generator set up for residents to assist the hotel
electricity supply.  If the hungry pedaller produces at least 10
Watt-hours, he gets a free meal.  At my electricity rates, that would
save the hotel about 0.2 cents, making it a very cheap meal indeed.
 
 GJ> Until very recently, Bradman had the best overall batting average of
 GJ> 99.97 runs (or thereabouts).  It was a disaster that in his very last
 GJ> match he got out for a duck, otherwise he would have made the 100.

 ML> Interesting. A whimper, not a bang.

I don't know who the bowler was, but for the rest of his life he would
have had to live with that shame.
 
 ML> Tomorrow I leave at 7, but I doubt a beer will be available,
 ML> a good thing because my next task is auditioning violinists
 ML> - perhaps a more taxing occupation than taking the audition
 ML> oneself.
 GJ> As sole judge, or one of a committee?  I suspect that if the latter,
 GJ> it would take several times as long to get through the hopefuls.

 ML> Committee.

Hopefully it will all be worth it, when you discover that next
Paganini.

      Title: Devilled Barbecued Quail
 Categories: Game, Bbq, Poultry
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
MMMMM----------------SOURCE: AUSTRALIAN VOGUE WIN---------------------
      8    Dressed quail split in half

MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Light soy sauce
      2 tb Honey
      3    Or 4 spring onions, chopped
      2    Cloves garlic, peeled and
           -chopped
      1 md Sized piece root ginger,
           -peeled and chopped
    1/2 ts Five spice powder
    1/2 c  Vegetable oil
      1 tb Walnut oil
    1/2 c  Craigmoor Rummy Port
 
  To make the marinade: mix the soy sauce and honey together and add
  spring onions, garlic and ginger. Combine all other ingredients and
  mix together well. Use marinade with all types of white meat. If you
  are cooking whole pieces of meat, the skin should be pierced before
  covering the meat with the marinade. To be effective, marinate meats
  for at least 3 to 4 hours. Dry meats with a paper towel when taken
  from the marinade. Put on an oiled and heated barbecue to cook and
  baste with the marinade during cooking.
  
  To cook the quail: place in a shallow casserole and cover with the
  marinade. Cover and leave for at least 4 hours. Strain liquids from
  the quail and set aside. Barbecue quail, turning them fre- quently
  and basting them often. The quail will be very tender and well
  browned when barbecued in this way.
  
  Serve with caramelised oranges.
