Growing up in Canada, we did have one horrible year where Dad shot an old moose with some of the worst tasting meat ever. Those things are huge and we couldnt afford to chuck away several hundred pounds of meat, so a lot of it was turned into mince.

[LOL!!!! one day I will have to tell you about my moose experience - the lot of you, especially the Canadians, are not ready for that - I am a bit upset about the moose meat, I for one am always delighted to spend my evenings biting chunks out of mammals]

Moose burgers are not that nice, the hot sauce might be the answer.

[judging by TS' recipy, the only thing this hot sauce will remedy is death]

Anyway, it was the Last moose he shot, from then on Mom said they would divorce if he brought home anything bigger than a white tailed deer.

[couldn't your dad go to Wal-mart instead? it is less hassle]


Moved from Canada to lovely Stoke-on-Trent and found other candidates for hot sauce: Midlands cooking and Man United. A friend of mine taught me about football and made me a Man City supporter.

[Canada to Stoke on Trent???? Saxon, you really really have my sympathies - no one should be put through that, I am surprised it only took you a year to rack off to Kenya - me? about 30 seconds!]

[as for Man City, ok, I can live with them, I am a blue too but of the Chelsea variety]

After a year, I fled down to Kenya, where I have been ever since. We have some really nice hot food from the coast and some lovely dishes with coconut milk. We also have a lot of people from the Indian sub-continent, stemming from the English colonisation of Kenya. They bring some great hot stuff and if you are lucky enough to get invited over to an Indian house where they incorporate the coastal food, you are in for a delight. My cook is pretty good, but doesnt know the ins and outs of spice as some people here do.

[I have been to Kenyan three times and know what you mean about the cooking - damn fine scoff as I recall - nice place - pity about the problems really]

I seriously have a cook. Her name is Freida and I pay for her two sons to go to high school and her daughter to go to elementary school. I also have two night guards (Charles and John), a day guard (Borongo) and a gardener (Njau). As you can see, living in Kenya does change your lifestyle. One of my complaints is getting new computer software, but there are compensations.

[so you have the equiavlent of $100,000 in annual alary of domestic help - what about hand maidens that dort of thing? my wife has a cook, guard, cleaner and gardener too, it is called me]

As far as being imperialistic, I am an avid Space Empires player, so I plead guilty to your charge.

[what about the charge of being a colonial nabob??]
