*gooned up*= local patois for "everything in hand, time to kick back."
Sem Chumbo:
By and by, and if fire blight, insects, sun scald and the thousand other slings and arrows a pear is heir to, do no damage, and the pear is cosmetically suitable, it is cut from the mother branch, stem intact. Then the bottle is filled with pear eau de vie, which we also make. Eau de vie, known around our shop as *refined moonshine* is 40% ABV and as such proves an excellent preservative. Such was the case demonstrated, I think, with Admiral Nelson after the Battle of Trafalgar, when his corpse was sent home in a cask of spirits, to no discernible ill-effect. Whether or not he was toasted with glasses of his very own infusion upon arrival on that sceptred isle is yet a matter of scholarly dispute.
We started this season with 425 bottles in the trees. Blew through Hurricane Arthur on July 5th taking a mighty toll, then a long dangerous summer fraught with pear peril. By the end of September, we had 173 finished bottles, each in its own clear pine box, and accompanied by the story above, more or less--minus the Nelson stuff.
And this is why, Bill, a delicious pear brandy, a preserved fruit, a great story and a lovely handmade, in Nova Scotia, I might add, box, we charge $125 CDN.
I personally get $25 for every one I sell, because I repeat this story hundreds of times before that happens:-) And I take considerable liberties with it, and perhaps this is why my success rate is so low but my pleasure increases with each re-telling.
This story is my Christmas gift to you, Bill, and the Zzzzzzzero Hour faithful. Gods bless you, one and all, if the Fates allow.

木乃伊, [MUNAIYI]. HUMAN MUMMY CONFECTION
Li [Shizhen]: According to 陶九成 [Tao Jiucheng] in the 輟耕錄 [Chuogenglu "Record after retiring from plowing"], it says in Arabia there are men 70 to 80 years old who are willing to give their bodies to save others. The subject does not eat food, he only bathes and partakes of honey. After a month he only excretes honey (the urine and feces are entirely honey) and death follows. His fellow men place him in a stone coffin full of honey in which he macerates. The date is put upon the coffin giving the year and month. After a hundred years the seals are removed. A confection is formed which is used for the treatment of broken and wounded limbs. A small amount taken internally will immediately cure the complaint. It is scarce in Arabia where it is called mellified man.
Mr. [Tao] has recorded it in this way but Li [Shizhen] the author of this [Bencao] does not know whether it is true so he is recording it for others to verify.[2]
While there will be guests here Christmas Day, and cooking for them is part of my duties, I have reserved 10-1 in order to hear ZH in its entirety, and I guess, live.
I can say with certainty that the Christmas dishes I prepare will be totally Mellified Man-free, though there may be traces of tree or ground nut, soy, milk, egg, wheat, rice, marshmallow Fluff, Spam, bologna boat, toad in the hole, and MSG.
Very much looking forward to your spins!

Just been to the market and bought some Wild Halibut, bit pricey but heck. Cue the old joke Bill. Was it wild, well it was none too pleased. Timing not so great over here, we try and eat by the time it gets dark, around four, so hoping to catch the early part of the show. Might be time to get libating.

I offer you a few moments of Canadiana, from a pretty funny guy, Howard Engel, who has a quite an amazing story himself (en.wikipedia.orgwiki/Howard_Engel)
So, his take on ACCiW www.msgr.ca...
Brian in UK:
Bill, at least your old man had a sense of humour, mine kept his well hidden. I take everything seriously and nothing seriously. Working in a hospital you have to be able to invoked the humour in anything, which I do not find the least bit difficult.
Buck, buck Number 1.
Sem Chumbo:
Thanks, Brian, let my proofreading eyes in my other life.

Sem sounds good. The word brining crops up a lot in Thanksgiving & Christmas cooking. My wife will be makng a turkey & ham pie on Friday. Hmmmm. Fruit salad making this afternoon after work.
That fire really does give out some heat. I did consider a barbecue for a Christmas present. Persoanally I cannot stand how there are used over here. Cheap burgers & sausages burnt to buggery. Never cooked on one before, might try my luck this year.
Sem Chumbo:

Beautiful heat control and a fine result. Quick and hot is too hard to control, low and slow is the way to go, in my opinion.

Yep, sweet, yeast-risen challah dough, then the three braids rolled out flat and covered in bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon and brown sugar, then rolled up and braided. Needless to say there is plenty of butter, egg yolks, powdered sugar and such like involved. The result is divine. Paramedics will be standing by tomorrow with the de-fib paddles:-D
Bill Mac:
Sem Chumbo:
We are still the highest taxed province in the country, with the biggest per capita debt, some roads which would easily translate into Six Flags rides, and own a stubborn, conservative, xenophobic, and often racist streak which would be right at home in deepest Mississippi.
We have enough Irish and Scots genes here to infect us with a fatalist high humour which nothing but a coal mine disaster or half a dozen guys lost at sea can even momentarily dampen. As Brian wrote earlier, there is a certain equanimity (I paraphrase, take everything seriously/nothing seriously) in-bred here, taking the rough with the smooth you might say.
Like the old joke (I heard it in Budapest), about Hungarian pessimists: "Things can't get any worse." Hungarian optimist: "Yes, they can!" Living in Nova Scotia is like that, and it is only the young who move away, trying to take the geographical cure for life, only to find it the same wherever they go. They come back, or at least no matter where they wind up living or for how long, when asked where they live, they name the place but they always say," I'm a Nova Scotian."
This has not been lifted from the Provincial "So You Want to Live Here, eh" Guide to Immigration for *Come from Aways*, just so you know this is one man's opinion only. A highly esteemed man, yes, but still, just one man:-P
Brian in UK:
Anyway, HAPPY CHRISTMAS. It is a beautiful clear skied sunny day here. Bit of a frost last night. Chickens fed, turkey about to enter it's last resting place. Going to walk Spencer in the woods and collect youngest daughter. All three will be back in the nest soon. Then everything will be TICKERTY BOO.

By the way, my favourite Hubert Selby Jnr. is The Demon. It fair took me aback when I first read it. Not had time to read all your personal missive will do in the fullness etc. I was surprised when reading The Willow Tree that he mentioned Ken Hollings and thanked him for his support and editing skills. I used to know Ken when he was in Biting Tongues. Bill played them a while ago. Small old world.

This is great!
I will be listening mobile for half of the show and then have you as a soundtrack for cooking business.
Which sounds go best along with frying noises? No easy task I guess ...

STANLEY. What part of D&G are you staying?

Sem Chumbo:
Yes, to have known someone who worked closed with HS,jr,---an editor!---most amazing. Loved to have heard the stories.
Challah: ya just gotta suck it up and make a couple and get the failures out of the way.
