    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

3 (1 1/2 lb) Cornish hens
Cajun or Creole seasoning
Dried apricots
2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup honey
Melted margarine

Clean and rinse hens inside and out. Season cavity of each bird, then stuff each with apricots. Place hens in casserole dish lined with foil. Mix juice and honey. Pour one-third of juice mixture into each bird.

Season outside of each bird. Cover. Bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover, baste with melted margarine and allow birds to brown for 15 minutes. To serve, slice each bird in half. Add a little cornstarch to pan drippings to thicken. Ladle sauce over meat and serve. Yields 6 servings.
 
I have a similar recipe where the hens are stuffed with wild rice that has the apricots chopped into it, and glazed with apricot jam. That one's a bit too sweet for my tastes, but the OJ and spices would work with that, too, rather than the jam!!
