Chili and Chocolate Kangaroo with Roasted Pumpkin and Tomato Salad
Sorry Skippy, if you weren’t so delicious I probably wouldn’t have eaten you for dinner. I forgot how much I liked kangaroo… I tried something a bit different with it, it needed a bit of brown sugar to put it over the top, so I’ll pop it in the recipe. Sounds weird, but think of it like that rich sauce in a chili!
Ingredients (salad):
- Half a butternut pumpkin, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped thyme
- 3 tomatoes, cut in half
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Shredded cos lettuce
- Juice of half a lemon
Toss the pumpkin, tomato, oil, thyme, salt and pepper together and roast on high heat for 30 minutes until golden. Set aside and cool off before putting it on top of the lettuce and finishing with the lemon juice and some of the reserved oil from the roasting tray.
Ingredients (kangaroo):
- 2 kangaroo steaks
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chocolate powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
Coat the kangaroo in the spices and let sit for at least 30 minutes. Grill (inside or out) for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on how thick it is.

Tim Noble and Sue Webster take ordinary objects - like rubbish - to make sculptures which really don’t look like anything. The magic happens when they point a light at them and project the shadows onto the walls. The process of transformations, from trash to recognisable forms, echoes the idea of perceptual psychology - a form of evaluation used for psychological patients. Noble and Webster have repeatedly played with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with a meaning. The result is surprisingly powerful, redefining how abstract forms can transform into figurative ones.

In rush hour, there are enormous numbers of cyclists fighting for space on Copenhagen’s bike paths, which become cramped and packed.
As numbers grow and they fight for space, cyclists are becoming more aggressive and reckless in traffic. I increasingly see people bringing themselves and others into dangerous situations….They break the laws and use their bikes in completely reckless ways.
”—Copenhagen has a unique city problem—too many bikes. Frits Bredal of the Danish Cyclist’s Federation describes the conditions on the road, and why this extreme two-wheeled congestion is a problem.

US survey: 1 in 5 telecommuters work an hour or less a day
Almost one in five Americans who work from home only clock in for an hour or less a day, according to a survey, while a third stay in their pyjamas.
Forty per cent of telecommuters say they work between four and seven hours, 17 per cent are doing the bare minimum and just 35 per cent are working eight or more hours, the CareerBuilder survey of 5,299 people revealed.
As bad as that sounds, it’s much better than it was in 2007, when only 18 per cent were able to manage eight hours or more.
