    In bucks, this condition is referred to as gynaecomastia.  There have been numerous scientific publications concerning this.


    I guess shepherd, you should know!  I raised cows and goats for many years and never saw it.  


    Both conditions are quite rare, and unless you raised British Saanens, chances are you wouldn't have heard of it either.  I have never heard of it in sheep but that certainly doesn't exclude them from the phenomenon.

    That said, it's generally not a desirable trait in either species and both sexes!  
    The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.  But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth, and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep.  A

  • My speciality is jambalaya (I make it frequently for Resistance Mass potlucks).  This is an approximation because I don't cook from recipes very often.

    3 lbs beef smoked sausage or andouille, sliced thin
    4 cups cooked diced chicken
    6-8 tablespoons bacon grease or cooking fat
    2 large onions, diced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 large green bell peppers, chopped
    1 large red bell pepper, chopped
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    4 cups rice (I like brown)
    8 cups chicken or turkey broth (homemade is best)
    2-4 tablespoons Tony Chachere's creole seasoning
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Saute sausage, chicken, onion, celery, and peppers in fat on medium heat until onions are transparent.  Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat.  Add rice, broth, and creole seasoning.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to very low.  Cook like steaming rice and do not stir (this is why heat needs to stay very low).  Cook until liquid absorbed (about 30 minutes for white rice and 45 for brown rice).  Adjust creole seasonings to taste.

    Serve with greens and corn bread.

    This makes an enormous pot of jambalaya.  Last time I made it it was about 24 servings.  It can also be made in the oven and it will be a little fluffier if you prefer that texture.  It's also good with cheddar cheese added.

  • The Jambalaya sounds yummy, Zeitun.  I take it I could add shrimp if I wished.  
    But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.

    That should be enough reason for ANYONE to convert and join the Resistance!   :geezer:

    I'm a fan of Korean Barbeque.  

    So I was at a Korean market in Garden Grove CA, when I saw the
    marinated meats, and I got two pounds of Bulgogi, which in this
    case was pork sliced and marinated in soysauce, pear, apple,
    honeydew melon, sugar, onion, garlic, ginger, scallion, oyster sauce,
    salt, black pepper, sesame, sesame oil.  It has an intense red color
    and lots of thick juice.  But it doesn't come with any instructions.  
    I guess you're just supposed to know what to do with it.

    When I've had it at restaurants, they've brought it out for me to
    cook at my table (two or more sharing the table) on a barbecue
    grill that's in the middle of the table.  But I don't have one of those
    at home.  So I tried to do it in a frying pan, and it was not the same.

    Apparently you need to let the thick juices drip down into the
    barbecue and burn on the rocks or whatever element there is down
    there, which provides the smoky fumes that give the meat that
    special flavor.  Because with a frying pan, the juices don't get hot
    enough to impart the flavor, and you end up eating the cooked
    juices with the meat, except for the part that adheres to the pan,
    and there is a LOT of that!  

    So I'd recommend a real barbecue for this.  But it can't be an
    American style barbecue with the wires an inch apart, or even a
    half-inch apart.  The Korean style barbecues have a sheet metal
    grill with thin slits that are less than 1/4" wide, so that the meat
    strips don't fall through into the "fire".  There are companies that
    sell table cooking BBQ grills, and they are not cheap.  Apparently
    there are very restrictive laws for installing one indoors in CA,
    involving permanent table location and permanent ceiling
    hood/vent above it.  A local restaurant remodeled, and everything
    inside was changed except for one thing:  the locations of the
    tables with the cooking grill feature!  They had new tables but they
    were in the same place, under the vent hoods.

    P.S. Kimchee is essential:  BokChoi cabbage, red pepper, some kind
    of dried salted shellfish (clam, shrimp, squid, etc.), water, radish,
    ginger, fish sauce, onion powder, garlic, salt.  Fermented.  If
    someone uses too much of the juice, you can add water and the
    other ingredients (not cabbage) to replace the missing juice.  But
    don't forget the dried salted shrimp!  One of the more challenging
    ingredients is the ground red pepper, because if you use chili powder,
    it has other stuff that isn't proper to KimChee, like paprika, oregano
    and cuмin.
