Newton's Birthday is coming...

... or at least that's how I, as a fully paid-up left-wing atheist, rationalise observing an crypto-christian ex-pagan midwinter festival commandeered, nay, hijacked by corporate interests. Happy Birthday Isaac.

And for those who wish to enjoy turkey on this day (though why this is a tradition on Dec 25th I'll probably never know), why not try something a little different?

Smoked Beer Can Turkey

The recipe comes to you live from Cooking For Engineers, a nifty site for geeks with gas.

Personally, I'll probably be enjoying a couple of beers in seclusion, maybe a picnic at the crag would work. The family observance comes earlier so everyone can link up, and it's not at our house - phew, dodged a bullet - we're bringing the prawns and the champagne. Oddly, despite this being among the hotter months in the southern hemisphere, there'll still be some serious big winter-type dinners going off, but I think we'll be going with cold cuts, salad and tiger prawns washed down with a generous quantity of amber. Cheers!
