 JW> Exactly!

Of course those fathers (and many mothers) usually do not have the cool or
couth to talk to their "little girls" about *THE* *SUBJECT* in a
straight-forward manner, using language and terminology which the youngster can
understand.

I have had "the talk" with a niece and the daughter of my girl friend - my
brother being in an attitude of just clamming up and his wife in scream at the
girl until she listens ... which is a sure formula for getting your voice
"tuned out" by the receiver of the screaming.

With my girl friend's daughter was by default I was, by default, the biological
father was long gone and Mindy was reluctant to do anything more than ignore
the subject. Must have worked as neither was knocked up when that went to the
altar. And I was invited to Katie's wedding despite her mother and I having
gone our separate ways long since. Her (genetic) father was most pointedly NOT
invited ... and probably wouldn't have come anyway.

Both girls are now forty-somethings with four chirrun each. Both tell me that
they talked to their kids the same way I talked to them. And the kids were just
as shocked that a parental figure would A: know what's going on, B: talk openly
about it, C: actually have participated in what was being discussed.  Bv)=

       Title: Stewed Dog (Wedding Style)
  Categories: Exotics, Stews, Fruits, Chilies
       Yield: 30 servings

       3 kg Dog meat *
   1 1/2 c  Vinegar
      60    Peppercorns; crushed
       6 tb Salt
      12 cl Garlic; crushed
     1/2 c  Oil
       6 c  Onion; sliced
       3 c  Tomato sauce
      10 c  Boiling water
       6 c  Red bell pepper; in strips
       6    Bay leaves
       1 ts Hot pepper sauce
   1 1/2 c  Liver spread **
       1    Fresh pineapple; cut 1/2"
              - thick

  First, kill a medium sized dog, then burn off the fur over a
  hot fire.

  Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside for
  later (may be used in other recipes)

  Cut meat into 1" cubes. Marinade meat in mixture of vinegar,
  peppercorn, salt and garlic for 2 hours.

  Fry meat in oil using a large wok over an open fire, then
  add onions and chopped pineapple and sauté until tender.

  Pour in tomato sauce and boiling water, add bell pepper, bay
  leaf and hot chile sauce.

  Cover and simmer over warm coals until meat is tender. Blend
  in liver spread and cook for additional 5-7 minutes.

  * You can substitute lamb for dog. The taste is similar,
  but not as pungent.

  ** smooth liver pate will do as well.

  Suggested Wine: San Miguel Beer

  Serving Ideas : Rice, naturally.

  NOTES : During my wedding reception, my brother-in-law
  suggested we add to the feast by having dog stew. Wanting to
  be part of the family, and having been subjected to all
  sorts of socials tests already, I agreed. The result was...
  well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it was great!

  It was only later I found out that dog should *not* be
  served at weddings, as it may make the bride and groom
  flight like dogs during the honeymoon. But what the heck. It
  didn't seem to have that effect... at least not until a few
  years later. :-)

  For the faint of heart, you can always substitute lamb in
  place of next door's rover, but the meat will not be as
  sweet or as rich in flavor.
