Then the child is made to switch over to Konkani at the primary level, and then again it is the English medium at the secondary level, higher secondary and college level. Why are children made to pay for the follies of someone else? -- Cypriano Lopes, in an article titled 'Goa needs English-medium education (at the primary level).H --------------------------------------------------------- GNByte --------------------------------------------------------- Results are in from Bihar. Laloo Prasad Yadav has been decisively voted out. What are the lessons for Goa? If the BJP ousted Yadav (currently an ally of the Congress), it did so not by *winning* the election. But by simply making sure its rivals lost. The BJP has done the same, repeatedly, in Goa. By building strange alliances, getting its rivals to rebel, and pulling out a hundred-and-one other tricks, the BJP has been able to stay in power in Panjim for nearly half-a-dozen years. If the recent civic elections are any indication, it's set to repeat its performance many more times in the future. But is the Congress alive to its responsiblities? Or is it willing to ride on a cushion of corrupt politicians and selfish, ideology-less individuals, as it does in Goa? --------------------------------------------------------- GoanToAntarctica * From Helga do Rosario Gomes: --------------------------------------------------------- http://goantoantarctica.blogspot.com/ By Helga do Rosario Gomes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> See latest entry at http://goantoantarctica.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------- Jose Lourenco's Amazing Goa [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------- * What is the flower Jasminium sambac known in Goa as?

Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels inside and out. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put orange juice in a pan and on a low flame reduce it down to 1 cup. Melt butter with chili powder and garlic powder. Mix in reduced orange juice. Cool slightly. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a large shallow (about 2 1/2" deep) roasting pan. Use an injector to inject the mixture into the turkey, especially in the meaty parts of the breast and thighs. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Roast turkey in a pre-heated, 325deg F. oven. To determine the approximate amount of time needed for cooking, Here is a roasting timetable chart for your turkey: Unstuffed Turkey 8 to 12 pounds -- 2 3/4 to 3 hours 12 to 14 pounds -- 3 to 3 3/4 hours 14 to 18 pounds -- 3 3/4 to 4 1/4 hours 18 to 20 pounds -- 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 hours 20 to 24 pounds -- 4 1/2 to 5 hours Unstuffed Turkey 8 to 12 pounds -- 3 to 3 1/2 hours 12 to 14 pounds -- 3 1/2 to 4 hours 14 to 18 pounds -- 4 to 4 1/4 hours 18 to 20 pounds -- 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours 20 to 24 pounds -- 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 hours Loosely cover the top of the turkey with aluminum foil to prevent over browning, remove foil during last hour and a half of cooking time. Continue to roast until thermometer registers 180 degrees F in the thigh, or 170 degrees F. in the breast. Remove turkey from the oven and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. ----- I have yet to try this recipe, if you get a chance to make it, please get back to me and let me know how it turned out. Looks like it could turn out to be a very yummy recipe. BOURBON TURKEY Use this marinade and glaze for baked chicken or turkey pieces.
