Dear Jack,
It's so lovely to read all your news and to hear that you and Ennis are happy and well. I guess I'm just an old softy and I'm certainly not proud to admit that I'm sitting here at work with tears running down my face. They're tears of joy. I'm just so happy for you two wonderful fellas. You went through so much suffering and angst in the early years and it's so good to hear how well you're both doing now.
Give Ennis my love. And to you, too.
I love you both.
Kerry

Jack,
Have you ever roasted a goose? I used to think it was greasy, and then someone taught me the proper way to roast it. A rotisserie if you have that, or if you don't, put some kind of rack, like one of those cooling racks for cakes, in the roasting pan and put the goose on top of that. Use the baster to make sure it isn't sitting in its own grease, and poke the skin with a fork several times before roasting. Very tasty! and not at all greasy.
Here's an easy recipe using leftover chicken or turkey. If you want a recipe for a special dessert, check out the Kansas City Plum Pudding over at our recipe collection!
Skillet Chicken (or Turkey) and Rice Dinner
chopped cooked chicken or turkey
2 carrots, chopped or julienned very fine
1 green pepper, chopped (can get these packaged and frozen too)
1 onion, chopped fine
teriyaki sauce or soy sauce
ground ginger, about 1/2 tsp
oil or margarine
1 package long grain/wild rice mix
3/4 cup rice
1-1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh or dried rosemary
Marinate the cooked poultry in teriyaki or soy sauce at least one hour. Remove and discard the sauce.
Saute chopped carrot in a little oil in a nonstick pan, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken, onion and pepper and saute another 3 or 4 minutes. While cooking, sprinkle with the ginger and more teriyaki or soy sauce to taste.
Then add the water, rice, pepper, garlic powder and rosemary; cover and cook over medium heat about 15 minutes.
Add the long grain/wild rice mix, including the seasoning pack and the amount of water indicated on the package. Cover and cook about 20-25 minutes.

Hey Jack, welcome to Bettermost! Do you think you will ever be able to convince Ennis to take a trip to Europe for Christmas? You won't have any problems finding places to stay!

Jack and Ennis,
This doesn't have anything to do with Christmas, but I am so excited!
Marge_Innavera wrote a great article about "Tom of Finland" in The Daily Sheet at davecullen.com:

She mentions A Love Born From Steel and how you guys discovered Hal's old collection of Physique Pictoral magazines. The article has pictures, too!
If you want to re-read that particular chapter, the link is here:

Enjoy!

And we love you too, Kerry. Thanks so much for taking the time to post.
I saw you posted a sonnet over on the fanfic board. That was really nice and you're right, it does capture some of the memories and feelings of our days up on Brokeback. It's a long time ago, now, but we both remember it like it was yesterday.
I hafta say, though, we both prefer our big king size bed to sleeping in a tent that smells of cat piss, or worse, any day of the week! LOL
You take good care.
Love,
Jack
