I made a casserole recently and it was pretty good.. none left for the freezer kind of good. So I was going to make another and bought stuff for that. Miniest wanted me to experiment with a chicken and broccoli casserole, so I bought stuff for that too. With today and tomorrow off I'd have plenty of time, I reasoned. Came home yesterday to a freezer which contained a goat's leg, a whole skinned rabbit and some duck breasts. Mr P was so proud, you'd think he hunted them himself (a friend of his has dropped it round). No room for casserole ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Also not a fan of duck or rabbit. Don't know a thing about goat. If anyone has any tried and true family ways of cooking a whole goat's leg I will need to hear them please!

I hear goat goes well in a curry.

Slow cooking goat is def the best for a 1st time as it's usually pretty light on for internal fat. Go heavy on the flavourings too. The texture is lovely - a little bit more chewy than lamb but still succulent. I like it baked middle eastern style in yoghurt with spices and almond meal mixed in to the yog. Slow cook to begin with, but for the last hour take the lid off and baste with the liquid which forms a lovely creamy/spicy crust around the leg. The meat inside will be incredibly tender and juicy too.

Rabbit is nice when done well, but it's very easy to stuff it up. The meat is very lean, and has a distinctive flavour. I like to joint it, wrap each piece in bacon/prosciutto and then stew it slowly in diced tomato (tinned) with sauteed onion etc. The bacon makes the meat go a nice pink color - if you don't wrap it in bacon or something like it the meat cooks up grey and does not look nice. The I slip the meat from the bones and use as a pie filling - rabbit pie is food of the gods. I would not recommend roasting it to begin with - very hard to get the timing right and you have to baste every few minutes it feels like. Wild rabbit can be spiced up to the nines and maybe should be. Domestic rabbit is a bit more forgiving.

Duck is a whole other ball game - maybe go asian as there's a lot of recipies from those cuisines.

Just finished watching Baby Reindeer. Thereโ€™s no spoilers below but just in case:

musingsThis show is heavy. Each episode leaves you thinking why is he letting this happen to himself. But doing things you know are bad for yourself, day after day, maybe for years, is something that happens to people. And then the shame of the self destruction is intense, so itโ€™s rare for people to talk about. I have never seen it depicted with such rawness. Baby reindeer nails it.

it's a pretty horrifying series

If anyone is looking for an oddball movie to watch, I recommend Hundreds of Beavers.

Black and white, silent slapstick movie. The seven seas be yer friend for searching this one up.

Iโ€™ve taken away the bird water dish. It could spread disease from not being regularly cleaned and a rogue cat managed to ambush a pigeon using it.

Oh that sucks. I had to take mine away too, but it was because those damn myna birds decided they were going to hog the water and take over the yard, bullying all the other birds away. It had only been there half an hour.

How is it that I'm obsessed with art right now but can't buckle down and practice. Am I stuck somewhere or is it just struggling with pressure/focus ๐Ÿคจ

(I am practicing, cross hatching with a pen. It's just hard to stick at.)

I'd like some good oily hashbrowns like they used to have, the ones they have at Aldi now are rubbish :(
