Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[chicapee]

Roman names :
Caecilius
Salvius
Quintus
Julius
Titus
Augustus
Barbillus
Lucius
Marcius
Modestus

And my personal favourite - Cogidubnus

Male Roman/Latin names usually end in a 'us' because latin nouns in the masculine nominative form end in a 'us'. (There are a few exceptions like Strythio)

I quite like Salvius. Janus not bad either.

Adobo Chicken

2lbs chicken
1 head garlic, peeled,crushed (you can tone it down a bit if you need to but Filipinos are not shy with garlic)
1 medium size onion, peeled, chopped
2 thumb size ginger, skinned, sliced
1 tsp. peppercorns
3-5 pieces bay leaf
3-5 pieces red hot chili
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup vinegar
½ cup coconut milk
salt

Cut chicken into serving pieces. Wash thoroughly and drain.. In a medium size sauce pan first put in the chicken, pour in 5 to 6 cups of water then add in the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ginger, peppercorns and bay leaf bring to a boil and simmer in medium heat for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Add in the chili and coconut milk, cook for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the liquid turns to and thick sauce, correct saltiness if required. Serve with a lot of rice.

Purists don’t add coconut milk but I find it adds an extra dimension. I found the recipe years ago and have managed to even convert Inday’s family.

If you plan to marinade, that’s fine. Add all ingredients except the Chili and coconut milk. Just add the chili and coconut milk near the end.

Name the new buck

In the tradition of naming our bucks using goat cheeses, the new guy needs a name.

The finalists are:

1. Mató is a Catalan fresh goat cheese from Spain
2. Capricorn is a UK goat's milk cheese.
3. Tullyboy goat cheese is an Irish hard mature cheese

opinions please

Since you plan to have the gate to his enclosure spinning like a revolving door with all his lady friends coming and going, maybe you could call him Tomme.

I think ChabiChou is getting the revolving door...
