Somewhere long ago, I posted my recipe for Roast Stuart Quail...If you'd be so kind as to retrieve it, it makes a wonderful Holiday dish...Indeed, I've been contacted by Quila, whose family insisted on it in lieu of turkey at Thanksgiving!
I don't have it saved on disk, but rather in, "memory," and am far too tired to retype here...
In the interim, we all know those kids whose perception of Christmas is somewhere between disbelief of Santa, and the opportunity to dive headfirst into the greatest faith of all...for them, a great Christmas tale can be found right here.
