I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Barbeques on fire by chalets past the headland
I've seen the gift shops glitter in the darkness off Newborough
All this will pass like ice-cream on the beach
Time for tea

Des,

You'll have to be a little more specific about what you mean. Is the "dust"
effect in metal? Or on the surface of a stone? or multiple tiny stones? Can
you refer us to a picture?

The first thing that came to mind was the stone drusy quartz, which has a
crystal-dust appearance on its surface. It's become increasingly popular in
the last several years. You can see a photo of a piece featuring it on my
website at: http://www.nolimitations.com/show_piece.php?prod_id=5 The piece
show has a permanent coating of titanium, whch is what gives it the
blue/purple iridescence. But drusy can come in any color you can find
quartz in, ranging from white to near-black; it can also be dyed and coated
to achieve very intense and unusual colors.

The other technique that I thought of was roller-printing or texturing metal
(silver and gold), which can render any number of wonderful textures in the
surface of the metal.

But if you can find some photos you can reference, it might help.

Ribs

Beef ribs or pork ribs can be used in this recipe,
and that is exactly what your dinner guests will assume!
An excellent way to expose the uninitiated to this highly misunderstood
yet succulent source of protein.

2 human baby rib racks
3 cups barbecue sauce or honey glaze (see index)
Salt
black pepper
white pepper
paprika

Remove the silverskin by loosening from the edges,
then stripping off.
Season generously, rubbing the mixture into the baby?s flesh.
Place 1 quart water in a baking pan, the meat on a wire rack.
Bake uncovered in 250° oven for 1½ hours.
When browned, remove and glaze,
return to oven and bake 20 minutes more to form a glaze.
Cut ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.



Fresh Sausage

If it becomes necessary to hide the fact that you are eating
human babies, this is the perfect solution.
But if you are still paranoid, you can substitute pork butt.

5 lb. lean chuck roast
3 lb. prime baby butt
2 tablespoons each:
salt
black, white and cayenne peppers
celery salt
garlic powder
parsley flakes
brown sugar
1 teaspoon sage
2 onions
6 cloves garlic
bunch green onions, chopped

Cut the children?s butts and the beef roast into pieces
that will fit in the grinder.
Run the meat through using a 3/16 grinding plate.
Add garlic, onions and seasoning then mix well.
Add just enough water for a smooth consistency, then mix again.
Form the sausage mixture into patties or stuff into natural casings.



Stillborn Stew

By definition, this meat cannot be had altogether fresh,
but have the lifeless unfortunate available immediately after delivery,
or use high quality beef or pork roasts (it is cheaper and better to
cut up a whole roast than to buy stew meat).

1 stillbirth, de-boned and cubed
