  Paris Hilton, trying to prove she's changed and is no longer the party girl we all think she is, has found a charity project near and dear to her heart — helping drunken elephants in India. "The elephants get drunk all the time," she said. "It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them." If she's successful in instituting reforms, anyone buying liquor in India will be carded to make sure they're not an elephant, the fine for an elephant being caught using a fake ID will be doubled, and anyone caught buying pastis for a pachyderm will have to spend a weekend listening to Hilton talking about her time in prison.

  As the weather still continues around the 20's mark here in Sydney, I'm still not game to venture into "winter warming" cuisine. Ok that's a lie. I did make a curry recently and I suppose that is classified as a winter dish but blame Nigella. The Lifestyle Food Channel has me glued to the screen. I'm desperate for new cooking ideas and techniques!!! That's when I came across this number you see. It's a very simple chicken dish with great flavouring and can be adapted for both summer and winter. I can hardly remember which show it featured on as they all slowly blended into one. I called it "Tipsy Chicken" because of the amount of wine used. Let's not confuse it with that other "classic" Drunken Chicken.The recipe I watched asked for the chicken to be jointed. Basically you cut up the chicken and separate it form the drumstick and thigh, the wings and the breast. A good boning knife is definetly needed for this adventure.
