CRISP ROASTED PIG'S HEAD

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Chinese Pork

Ceideburg 2

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 Pig's head, cleaned and

-tongue removed

1 t 5-spice powder

2 tb Salt

1/2 c Mien see (ground brown bean

-sauce) or 1/2 cup oyster

-sauce

1/4 c Bourbon

1 c Honey, combined with

1 c Boiling water

 

Remove any hair on head by singeing over and open flame or plucking.

Scrub well (using a vegetable brush, if desired) and then sprinkle

with salt, rubbing it into the skin. Rinse well with cool water; pat

dry. Remove any excess fat.

 

Place head in a colander in the sink and pour a kettle full of boiling

water over. Let cool.

 

Combine the 5-spice powder, salt, bean sauce and bourbon. Slash the

meat on underside of head and rub half of the spice mixture into the

meat. Rub the remaining spice mixture onto the skin. Place head

upright on a rack in a large baking pan. Bake at 375F for 1 1/2

hours. Lower heat to 325F and continue cooking for an additional 2

hours, or until the meat is cooked through, basting the skin well

every 30 minutes with the honey-water mixture. (Cooking time will

depend on the size of the head.) If ears begin to brown too quickly

during cooking period, wrap them with foil.

 

When head is done, remove to platter and garnish with watercress or

coriander. Chop head into pieces and serve with sweet vegetable

relish or plum sauce.

 

[i'd definitely serve with spiced salt and Chinese mustard and minced

green onions for dipping too.]

I'm not interested in new homes mods no matter the decor UNLESS:

 

1) they include quests to obtain or staff with servants. Plus, questing for the special furniture and items you're thinking of placing would be ok, even if they're simple "clear the dungeon" types. Perhaps you have to break into some aristocrat's home to get special pieces.

 

2) There's also a heavy price tag involved in septims and time.

 

Far too many house mods are simply "download me and it's yours". Where's the fun in that?

Don't care for that kind of "fun".

 

A fun house mod for me, and I don't mind buying it, is:

 

Lots of secret stuff to find; a bit of lore additions with some healthy modern lore-breaking; surprises galore,

and most importantly USEFUL ITEMS.

 

A mage quarters is a must, I'd prefer that it be well hidden from general prying eyes, or sort of secretive. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE houses that use the Static Alchemy Mod and Coblized Ingredient Sorters. A quest that originates after you own the house is always welcome, perhaps a mystery to solve, but not an obvious one the moment you walk in the door.

 

I prefer comfortable modern furniture to stiff wooden crap. I could give a rats ass about bathrooms but outdoor pools and outdoor showers would be a huge plus that not too many think about.

 

Large roomy guest quarters are very helpful, I mean well-pathed guest quarters where your companions can roam freely without getting stuck and are able to roam to areas to sleep, areas to eat, and areas to relax with an outdoor feeling to them, probably the best way to handle that is to bring the outdoors inside the quest quarters area. NO LOADING DOORS. Just free movement from room to room in the guest quarters.

 

Please, a great kitchen. Surprises like "working" ovens, "working" fireplaces, "working" lights, and "working" armories and such. How about a dimmer switch in the bedroom for ambience? What about a working stereo system where you can add a few favorite MP3s?

 

Companions are ok, as long as they don't follow you around to private quarters. I had a Castle that had a male guard in the Master Bedroom Suite. Um NO. Got rid of him, but kept the castle.

 

I would prefer to make and get my own companions anyway, I like extremely pretty people and most mod NPCs don't seem to live up to the standard I'd like.

 

I have plenty of stuff to do in my game, even though I've completed probably 90% of all the quests, (I still have only been to SI twice though, so there's that whenever I feel like it).

 

If I could make a house, these are the things I would put in it.

 

Alas that will have to wait until I master meshing.
