An African Delicacy!
Today I bring you a delicacy of true African cuisine! A mutton dish better than the best rib, roasted on a bed of charcoal. A Baked Sheep Head.Yes, you read it right! No word play here. A real sheep’s head. It contains a lot of meat and is relatively cheap. Most butchers around here can supply you with a well cleaned head. It is so easy to prepare; even a man can do it!
When you get home, inspect the head and remove any hair still on it. I use a cutthroat to ‘shave’ it. Then saw the head across the top into two halves, but leave lower jaw intact. I use a garden saw to do this. You could ask the butcher to do it as well.
Flap the two halves open and clean out the nose section (easy, if it is not already done), but leave the brains in place. Another delicacy on toast - or just as it is.
Push the two halves together and clamp with a skewer. I use three bended canvas needles for this.
Dampen the head and rub some course salt on it. I normally sprinkle some barbeque spice at this stage too.
Preheat the oven to 160º C and bake for 4 hours.
Enjoy. Mine is only going into the oven now. You can eat it hot or cold. I prefer it cold. It tastes like something between a roasted rib and a sheep neck.
Here in Africa, women are not allowed to eat the tongue; it makes them talk too much, they say.
Eating the brains has a side effect though.
I find that if I share it with some female company, they mill around me for days and follow me in a line where ever I go; bleating like … Oh shut up, Catfoot!
Enjoy your day too!

You know what I have to do it again?
reinstall Wind... grrrrrrrr....
encore... again ... encore...
I almost can not do anything...
But why? Something must be wrong. What about a partition virus. Tell whoever is doing the job to remove all partitions on your hard drive and then to recreate and reload.
Im ... now! grrrrrrr...
miss you...
You were scarce today. Ah, but then I suppose you are busy in the day!
I have somthing on here at home tonight, but I sneak away every now and then. Got to run again. Catch you later!
Thank you...
I can not live as all normal people, and as self course, with my computer running a terrible hacker
But he (the hacker) has established a Russian version of me now
and it seems that Explorer HATES me for it...
(I see aaaaaaaall...)
for CAT and
Fot get decent passwords on your machine. And put one on the administrators account too. When that is without password your PC is a hacker's paradise.
Windows leave it blank by default. When you reload make sure to put a password on the Administrator's accont and your own. Then you should be safe.
Must run. Be back in 20 or 30. They're leaving now.
My guests and my hostess have all left now and I'm all alone now.
Goodness gracious me! Fourteen people, myself and my hostess included. Eleven bottles of wine, four sheep heads (bones removed), two full racks of pork ribs from a local family restaurant, cheese gherkins, olives and plenty of other side dishes; almost all gone. Except for what I had hidden beforehand for my midnight snack.
They thought I had a running stomach for disappearing that often.
when did you make it all if you're here in the blog?
or
even a man can do it!

You're just saying so
I know when the time for jokes
CAT
No, I'm not kidding.
