I should buy some Chinese cooking wine.<BR/> <BR/>Cynthia - Thank you. Too bad it was a meal for one. My partner still won't touch the kangaroo no matter how I present it to him. <BR/><BR/>Stephen - Thanks. I wonder if you will like the taste of kangaroo. <BR/><BR/>Big Boys Oven - Thanks. Yes, it does. <BR/><BR/>Everything4sweets - Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I've never had a visitor from Afghanistan before. <BR/><BR/>Mansi Desai - Thank you! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Shaun - Yes, chives/scallion and garlic are a wonderful pair. It's quite tricky cooking the kangaroo without overcooking it. <BR/><BR/>Tartelette - Thank you. Yes, it would be a good option for celiacs. <BR/><BR/>Toni - Thanks. wow, it would be great to try buffalo or ostrich. <BR/><BR/>Margaret - Thank you. Maybe the 'roo will eventually make it to the UK.<BR/><BR/>Susan - Chive crepes would be wonderful. yummm...butter would be a good idea, esp when the pancakes are still warm. <BR/><BR/>East Meets West Kitchen - Thanks. I will tell more jokes when I hear more good ones. <BR/><BR/>Margot - Thanks. I think that this will go well with chicken too. <BR/><BR/>Kevin - Thank you.

I'm the vampire's worst nightmare. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Mandy - Glad that joke got you laughing :-) I know what you mean about someone else cooking - luckily, my partner does often cook, but not necessarily what I want to eat. <BR/><BR/>Kelly-Jane - Thank you. I think that the combination went quite well together. I would make this again, but with with the adjustments I suggested.<BR/><BR/>Deb - Thank you so much.
