The critic Harold C. Schonberg described the sound of the theremin as "(a) cello lost in a dense fog, crying because it does not know how to get home."[19]

reviews are in

I agree entirely with OP’s method of stripping and devouring a rotisserie chicken and have been inspired to pick one up on the way home myself

Also tags are entirely correct. Waste not want not! And then stick the bones in your planter pots to feed your plants and BADLY frighten your neighbours!

And if you want a really good gravy to go with the chicken pulled off the bones, check out the “recipe” tab on this page.

(I’d rather use the page for this recipe at the EuropeanCuisines.com website, but it’s down right now due to our ISP suddenly going out of business.) :/

This is where a pressure cooker would come in very handy.

I used one many, many years ago (I was about 12 or 13) to make something interesting from the remains of an Easter turkey, using Mum's "Mrs Beeton" (this is the same recipe, from a much earlier edition on Gutenberg).

FRICASSEED TURKEY (Cold Meat Cookery). INGREDIENTS.—The remains of cold roast or boiled turkey; a strip of lemon-peel, a bunch of savoury herbs, 1 onion, pepper and salt to taste, 1 pint of water, 4 tablespoonfuls of cream, the yolk of an egg. Mode.—Cut some nice slices from the remains of a cold turkey, and put the bones and trimmings into a stewpan, with the lemon-peel, herbs, onion, pepper, salt, add the water; stew for an hour, strain the gravy, and lay in the pieces of turkey. When warm through, add the cream and the yolk of an egg; stir it well round, and, when getting thick, take out the pieces, lay them on a hot dish, and pour the sauce over. Garnish the fricassée with sippets of toasted bread.

I used the pressure cooker for "the bones and trimmings"; it took a lot less time than an hour.

IIRC this was the first Actual Cooked Dish I ever made for the family, and I have a vague memory of doing rice to go with it (if I did, it would have been Uncle Ben's Boil-in-the-Bag. I know better now...)

I bet this would work with chicken - use half for the Middle Kingdoms recipe, half for Mrs Beeton. (Makes note...) :->

things are heating up in the sulphur pile fandom

some backstory:

in north vancouver, there is a big pile of bright yellow sulphur. it's a byproduct from tar sands from alberta, and is shipped off to be made into fertilizer and other things. it's been there for ages and will almost certainly continue to be there for ages as well.

there is another, similar sulphur pile in port moody (20 or so km east of the north vancouver pile), from the same source and shipped off for the same purpose. it's less "one big pile" and more "two long piles side by side".

the first one has been listed as "big yellow sulphur pile" on google maps for ages, while the port moody one didn't have anything...

until recently, when someone changed the site name to "bigger yellow sulphur pile"
