Its terrible to say aloud now all these years later....but yes, we used these to break the 'odd' window or inflict major pain these sometimes instead of folded paper. 1 3 Quote

Alpo Posted May 19 Posted May 19 (edited) The internet has let me down again. I look at that picture and I think that that kangaroo is not a kangaroo. Because all the pictures of kangaroos I've seen, they have short smooth hair. Like a greyhound. That thing's got long shaggy hair. Somewhere between a German shepherd and a wolfhound. So I asked the internet do kangaroos have short hair or long hair. The first site tells me that all kangaroos have short hair. Well obviously then that is not a kangaroo. The next site tells me that kangaroos in some parts of the country have long shaggy silver gray hair while the ones in other parts of the country have short brown hair. Well hell. One site says they all got short hair, and the other site says that some of them got long hair. Also every other picture I have seen of a kangaroo they have a longer square (you know, I put an R on the end of squarer for a purpose. There is a difference between square and squarer) snout. Which makes me think that shaggy albino might possibly be a wallaby. Edited May 19 by Alpo otto, again 1 1 Quote

Pick up a spike nail with the other thumb and forefinger. Use the nail's head to tamp all my working knowledge of the Australian hopper beast down into said sewing thimble.

You can scoop out a casserole onto a flat plate and it’ll hold the shape it had when it first touched down. Call it what you like, but that IS WHAT IT IS!! 😜 The one depicted looks quite delicious!!

Ingredients For the Australian Beef Casserole Recipe Beef Chuck Roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces Olive Oil Chopped Onion Minced Garlic Sliced Carrots Sliced Celery Peeled Potatoes Tomato Paste Worcestershire Sauce Dried Thyme Dried Rosemary Paprika Bay Leaf Beef Broth Salt Pepper Cooking Instructions For the Australian Beef Casserole Recipe Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the herbs and spices are fragrant. Add the beef broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot and stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf. Season the casserole with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired. Since it is baked in the oven for a couple of hours, it might actually be a casserole. Still looks like stew. That recipe would probably be more helpful if it told you how much of the various ingredients for required, and not just the various ingredients. Ah well. 1 1 Quote
