Oh they've already done that with the Masked Lapwings, I need a helmet to walk the dog. If they start importing Masked Lapwings over there start a civil war!

I had to look that one up:

The masked lapwing (Vanellus miles) is a large, common and conspicuous bird native to Australia, particularly the northern and eastern parts of the continent, New Zealand and New Guinea. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food such as insects and worms, and has several distinctive calls. It is common in Australian fields and open land, and is known for its defensive swooping behaviour during the nesting season.

And our crows already do that. Well, the swooping part. No bombing thankfully. This spring when it was fledging time I had to rescue a kitten from them. But he got his revenge. In more ways than one. I found a dead crow outside around that time. It could have been a fledgling. The kitten (almost cat) also found a way to drive the crows crazy. He would go out and lie down in plain sight right next to a wooden fence. They could try to swoop on him, but the fence got in their way. I would bring him in and five minutes later he was outside in the same place. Watching the crows try to attack him and fail.

More importantly... what temperature should I cook a prime rib at in a fan forced oven? And I need it in that evil liberal Celsius measurement, time per kilo would be handy too but I can keep an eye on it.

The way to cook it properly is for 15 minutes at 250c to seal it then drop the temperature right down to around 165/170. When you get back from the pub it will be just right

Please forgive me for snapping a pic of a fellow

That is a rough one. There are so many ways to cook it. I know of one where you get the oven nice and hot and then shut it off. It relies on the slow cooling rate of ovens to cook the meat. I never tried that myself.

My best prime rib that I ever cooked was using the sous vide method. Pick your level of doneness. Cook for about 6 hours,, there is a minimum time, but if you go over that nothing really bad happens unless you go hours over it. Then for the last 15 minutes sear it in a hot oven at 45 to 250 C. I did a perfect medium rate that way. Extremely juicy. Nice crust. It was better than any that I have had at a restaurant.

They're liberals. They are capable of anything I claim they are. Not living, not working, voting and scamming the government. It's all true. Most of the problems in this country are the result of the illegal activity of the dead.

Some of us are dead.

Do you think the dress is a little too skimpy for my age?

Just made eggs benedict for breakfast for our wedding anniversary, it's her favourite meal. I had mine without eggs or hollandaise sauce because eggs have been upsetting my stomach of late.
