Subject: [CnD] looking for ways to roast a cornish game hen
I actually have two, the small little game hens. I am just looking for
something a bit different, not the usual plain roasted game hens. Any
suggestions? I don't really need a recipe, just maybe some tips,
suggestions, or guidelines.
thanks,
Carla
