Rescued Lions Join Sanctuary




There has also been a 47 percent increase in the number of births among the buck at the reserve since hunting has stopped and the animals are less stressed.

"Before they would see a vehicle and run like hell," park ranger Tienie Van Rooyen said. "But now they have settled down."

For visitors, Lionsrock offers a unique opportunity to get close to big cats in a breathtaking setting.

The lodge, with its wooden deck and chalets, is set up on a cliff side with a panoramic view of the plains below. Towering above is the rocky mountain whose shape resembles a brooding lion.

A colorful catwalk allows visitors to gaze down on the lions as they pad about their enclosures or slumber in the sun.

At night, the air is filled with the sound of the lions roaring. Now there are 10 more voices to be heard.

That's good news out of bad, isn't it.

Clicked. Now to see what I did with the results.

Great going Stradee....

Skeeter huh?? Come down to TX - it's way too hot for those little guys

Happy kittens

listening to tape of our prime minister apologizing on behalf of the Canadian government for the damage done by the residential school system - listening to tape of some of the survivors reacting

the things people do to other people

<sigh>

on the flip side, a google search for cheesy grin delivered

That's way too cheesy for a rebut, ehBeth.....

Looks nice though....

Good morning all

Happy clicking. I know a tree will like it.

Good morning danon5.
Another seven point four saved.
Chicken wired area of turtle eggs. Count down begins.
Have a nice day all.

mmmmmmmm roasted veggies

I particularly love roasted cauliflower - with a dip made from whipping cream and freshly grated horseradish and tiny bit of ginger

paradise <swoon>

where is that darn leaderboard so we'll know how many acres we've clicked for?

yummy

One of my favs is coated caulilflower {flower, eggs, seasonings} then fried in peanut oil {fondue} then dipped in a sour cream dill sauce {garlic salt, onion bits, s&p, dill} adding favorite veggies to the mix...

heavenly

Yep, it's Friday the thirteenth - thanks to an ancient Pope.

Stradee, that recipe sounds too good to be true. I really like to cook stuff like that.

ehBeth, I am sure that you are familiar with cauliflower boiled in water until almost soft through. Then, with butter in a skillet, brown plain bread crumbs and sprinkle that over the cauliflower.

Mmmmmmm, goooood.

Ok, Fri 13 is over yet once again. We can rest assured that we have saved another tree or two.

Dan, the recipe is a lot of fun for the entire family - especially when the munchkins visit. They have a great time cooking.


Veggie Dill ~

1/3 c mayo
1 c sour cream
l tsp dill weed
1 tsp shredded onion
1 Tabl Parsley
Garlic Salt


Batter for Fondue

1 c flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Seasoned Salt
1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
2 Eggs {slightly beaten}
1 Tblsp Oil
3/4 c of milk {or more as needed for texture}

Mix with mixer


Fondue oil - Peanut


Cauliflower, large mushrooms, and broccoli are three favorites.

Meat for fondue generally round steak cut in cubes then marinated in teriaki sauce refrigerated for 2 hours {or whatever marinate you prefer}

Prawns also cook well - then use a cocktail sause for dipping...

You can pretty much improvise with fav meats and veggies

Enjoy!

Thanks for the suggested recipes, Stradee. I was very much alive and well in the late 60's and early 70's when Fondue was the party thing - did many. Ahhh, the good old days when we were young. Everything was easier then - if you know what I mean.

Creaked - :wink:

Anyone remember the Loving Spoonful? Zal (may he rest in peace) was the older brother of a good friend of mine.

About a decade ago, we went to a New Year's Eve party out at his farm northeast of Kingston.

It was fondue, fondue and more fondue. Some sort of fun retro theme.

A great party with a lot of fun fondue
