  I cooked mine yesterday - ate two ribs, then cut the rest up for chilli, and froze it.

  Every time I've been required to provide samples, I've just been told to bring one in within 2 hours of "producing" it.

  One occasion, I was just asked to post it.

  I guess it's what they need the sample for though - these were all for various tests, rather than fertilisation.

  And possibly the green thingy next to it.

  YouTube is all MFC forms, isn't it?

  I had a look at making some concrete planters at one point.
  MFC forms, silicone in the corners, and some sort of coating to enable release (but I don't recall what is was).

  Then slap a thin harling-like coat on first, and let it dry, to ensure a smooth outer to the thing.

  I was going to mix the concrete with some sort of fibre (again, can't remember what, specifically) to reinforce it.

  After that, it's all about removing air bubbles. Either grab your favourite dildo, or jury rig a palm sander to vibrate the form.

  In the end I thought it was too much like hard work.

  This is a hock one, but can be done for hams too.

  We're having chicken. Because turkey is rubbish.

  How do people deal with having an uncovered lump of poultry in the fridge from a contamination point of view?

  As long as it's not touching anything, and you're aware of transference, you'll be OK, I reckon.

  I need to fix this this thing, but don't know what it is. What shall I google for?
