 GJ> Have you suggested to Lilli that she might find the perfect burger in
 GJ> Australia?
 ML> Erm, you just want the chance to chat her up, don't you. I
 ML> admit she is quite cute, in her way, and in your age range.
 ML> She does have a fairly settled life, and one should make an
 ML> effort to respect that.

Well, er, you do have charming, interesting lady friends.

 GJ> ago your expression was quite peculiar, but I put that down to the
 GJ> mixed emotions resulting from discovering that the Antipodes could
 GJ> produce something so wondrous and colourful.
 ML> Gngngngn (biting tongue).

Sorry!  Did that hurt?

 ML> I just know you
 GJ> delighted in the pattern formed by the mixed beetroot juice and egg
 GJ> yolk running down the sides, and the complexity of its flavours.

 ML> The worst part was neither the beetroot nor the egg yolk but
 ML> rather the egg white, which detracted severely from the flavor
 ML> of the beef. The beet and yolk were mere distractions.

Perhaps if the fried egg was nicely browned it might be better?
 
 GJ> Title: BIG AUSSIE BEEF BURGER
 GJ> 1 ts Chilli mince

 ML> That would actually have improved the experience no end,
 ML> especially were the chile a hot one.

My main objection to the average mass-produced burger is the soft,
sweet roll that it is usually served on.  Perhaps if a firmer,
thinner, wholemeal or part rye was used that might improve it.
 
 GJ> I have just heard that the last 9 Megaton B53 nuclear bomb in USA has
 GJ> now been defused.  A hundred and forty of those were made 1960.
 ML> Indeed. And yet that doesn't make me feel that much safer.
 ML> The Russkies had a 20 and perhaps a 50 Megaton bomb. Or so
 ML> they tried to lead us to believe.

It was not clear if that was the old style fission bomb or the much
more effective hydrogen bomb.

The latest bombshell dropped here, yesterday, was that the Qantas OIC,
Joyce, in a fit of pique over rolling strikes by his work force, has
grounded all the fleet's domestic and international flights, leaving
thousands of passengers stranded indefinitely all over Australia and
the world.  Hundreds are camping in Heathrow, and hundreds more are
stuck in Bangkok, battling the floods.  CEO Alan Joyce has just been
given a 5 million dollar raise by the Qantas board.

Fortunately the Queen has just left Australia, flying British.

  Ah Ha! What YOU call Bread Pudding is Xmas Pudding?  No wonder my
  recipes for English Bread Pudding led to so much confusion:) Though
  at least one person explained that Bread Pudding to them meant a
  Custard based recipe? If this is correct then the U.S. would need the
  U.K's Bread & Butter Pudding. As I am now 100% NOT SURE of anything
  the following descriptions may assist in the identification of that
  elusive beast the 'Brit Bread Pudd':)
  
  Bread Pudding: Doughy, stodgy, dark pudding, sprinkled with sugar.
  Full of spice.  The bread is soaked and squeezed and so does not
  retain any of the bread shape or texture. The top is slightly crusty.
  Baked. eaten hot or cold.  Keeps for several days in a refrigerator.
  
  Bread & Butter Pudding: Slices of bread which retain their white
  color, and shape, soaked in a custard. Golden brown on top. Baked.
  Does not keep and should be eaten hot straight from oven.
  
  Christmas Pudding: A dome, or basin, shaped, dark rich pudding which
  has a texture not unlike a very moist fruit cake. Steamed. Keeps
  well, and improves with age. Full of alcohol. We often make them in
  January for use the following Xmas. This is the pudding often
  depicted as being round, like a soccer ball, in stories by Dickens
  etc.
  
  I hope that helps everyone to understand the differences between the
  three. I have recipes for many many variations of all of em! There
  are hundreds for Xmas Pudd.
  
  A tradition, in Victorian England, was to hide small silver charms in
  the pudding while it was being mixed. The 'charms' were superseded by
  silver coins in later years. Nowadays we sterilize 5 or 10 pence
  pieces and place them into the pudding just prior to serving. This
  practice, in commercial out- lets, is now illegal and will lead to
  heavy fines unless the coin is first placed in a sealed, sterilized,
  bag.
  
  Have fun and eat hearty.
