Delia Smith is your friend. Nothing flash, her stuff just works. Christmas Day isn't the time to try fancy stuff IMHO.
As I found out one year with an apricot and Brussels sprouts stuffing.....
She perfected me the perfect roast turkey! So easy
Is that even a sentence??? I wrote that while on a work call while reading Stuff.co.nz on another screen.

Without having any knowledge of where the populations are and what precautions are already in place wouldn't it make sense to have very large firebreaks and frequent fuel removals from any populated areas? From what I understand bush fires are a historic inevitability so trying to stop them from occurring would be a waste of money but maybe more could be done to protect people and property. I guess that is where it is being argued the funding cuts have hit.
Given that fires can create their own weather patterns, firebreaks would have to be enormous scars on the landmark to ensure that embers couldn't create spot fires kilometres in front of the main fire.
One only has to look at the damage in suburban areas from Black Saturday:
I challenge anyone who didnt look at that pic and instantly focus on that house up the top that didnt burn as all thier neighbours did.
Also, why did the houses burn but the trees didnt?
Funny how the brain works. My first focus was on the house down the bottom of the pic that didn't burn. Didn't notice that other house until you pointed it out.

I had a turkey in the freezer from last Christmas that I chucked on the Weber Rotisserie. Cooked it over lump charcoal and some hickory as a trial as it was getting a bit old in the freezer.
Man o man does it turn out good.
Only thing I did was inject it with a chicken stock/garlic powder/salt/white pepper/melted butter whisked together.
True Love doesn't like turkey but she liked this.
Took it to 160f internal and let it rest for an hour and 20 before carving and it was perfect.
Will definitely repeat for Christmas.
(It was a 3.5kg turkey and it took about 2 hours to cook... just over)
Was it....
sorry don't want to trigger anyone with that word
I'm scared of dryness!!! Nothing worse. Even tons of gravy can't save a dry bird.
And @Hooroo you are the sweetest the way you call your lady "true love", Ahhh my heart.
Ha ha! yes indeed, it was very succulent!

Feels like the time is right for some political capital to be spent without repercussions.
There are still some fuckwits in that arena making it hard tho:
Go Cuz! You're doing our family name proud....
Was waiting for this
Is he still in parliament? (albeit at the back of it)
Is Adam Thompson an omission (Not contracted elsewhere?) Is this a surprise?
