Let the baby roast rest for an hour, then have your guests help pull the meat. Everyone will have fond memories of the event to cherish FOREVER!

Just remember to give yourself plenty of time for cooking (a field-dressed baby can weigh upwards of 30 lbs and take a FULL DAY to cook!)

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.

No need to leave the skin on. A toddler's got a lot of good marbling.

Okay, not to jump on the defensive, but people haven't noticed something. I read this article and the responses to it on another forum - they're basically the same.
Who can tell me if this is net profit, gross profit, operating profit, or economic profit? Four very different things. The article simply doesn't say, it implies the figure is the net profit, if it isn't then what is this figure and what is the difference? Where do their investments go and how many people do they employee? It's not cheap to survey for oil fields, drill test wells, conduct operations if a hit move on if not. Wash, rinse, repeat.

On the margin. The oil industry urges people to look beyond its profits to its profit margin: about 7.6 percent of revenues late last year. That's not much higher than the 5.8 percent profit margin for all U.S. manufacturing, and if you exclude the financially troubled auto industry from that analysis, the oil industry actually appears less profitable than most manufacturers, which were earning 9.2 cents on every dollar of sales.

we are, but i was trying to clarify the point regarding what the profit is here. it seems to be gross profit, not net profit (i think). so the stated number does not include operating costs (i think)
