    Well worth it. We also have jars of preserved fruit... pears and feijoa. Home made apple sauce/frozen blackberry's/Plum jam and sauce/lemon curd/mandarin curd fruit all sourced from the great free supermarket of our town.

    probably the only thing i miss about not living in the BOP anymore. Not having mandarin, grapefruit, tangelo, feijoa, passionfruit, tamerillo, apple tree's in the back yard and wild blackberries and wineberries to go pick. it is nearly impossible to get decent fruit down here

    I've recently taken up a teaching position after some 30 years in front of a stove. As a consequence I only think of alcohol and waitresses as relaxing. Cooking is ruled by the clock.

    Fair call. What kind of dehydrators are being mooted here?

    I recently used a Sunbeam model and was distinctly underwhelmed. 4 days to dry my ghost peppers. Good result but a lot of time.

    Did you slice them?

    Jerky takes around 12 hours, the thinner sliced the better.

    Dutch oven pork using charcoals as a heat source ( 4 hour cook) once again turned out a goody.

    This turned up on the table last night ( Loaded Stuffed Bread) and what a tasty treat. My friend had added chopped bacon to the cheese making it even better.

    FISH MY WAY (AKA Baked White Fish) Probally be alright on chicken as well but haven't tried it.

    I use Hoki or whatever white fish is cheap as have yet to convince mates to go shares in a kontiki shore thing. Cook Level = Easy Peasy.

    Measure in heaped teaspoons, into a bowl and mix well

    SPICES

    Pepper x 2 (black or white, you decide)
    onion salt x 1
    salt x 2
    garlic salt x 1
    paprika x 3 (use smoked if ya like smoky)

    HERBS

    rosemary x 1
    tarragon x 1
    dill x 1
    basil x 1
    thyme x 1
    sage x 1
    parsley x 2

    OTHER

    chilli and lime powder (Greggs) x 1

    You can cheat this with a pinch of chilli and later use a dash of lime or lemon juice over fish if preferred.

    Store in airtight jar like a spice shaker,label.

    To use, turn on oven grill, place fish in oven dish, dot with small knobs butter all over, sprinkle over with mix ,place under hot grill until done, i.e butter is caramelised and fish is still juicy.
    Serve with rice and a salad

    Well I cleaned up the mt beer bottles next day, and the usual numbers were way down....musta beens the shots, a few bears about with fuzzy heads

    I don't think that night Ohai was necessary now...oh tharr right, it was a nightcaps.

    Yeah the Kontiki (with a shore thing to avoid shark bite losing your spensive Kontiki ) is around 3K, then there is to add the GPS, beach reel, filleting knife and table, new freezer, pallet piss, and the search and rescue life saving fee, all up not much change from 6k, are we in?

    Here’s a quick and easy recipe for those evenings when you just can’t be bothered cooking but you need to eat. I use it if I’m later home from a ride and need to eat .

    It’s great if you live alone, it’s great if you are forced to cook tea for flat mates. ...

    It takes as long as it takes to boil the pasta. It’s quick and it’s healthy.

    You will need:
    Pasta – I use spirals or shells. Small pieces work better than spaghetti. As much as you need for each person.
    Cheese
    Can of Chilli Beans (I like Craigs or Watties – I don’t like the rest, but it’s up to you.) I use one can per person.

    Cooking
    Put on the water to boil for the pasta. Check how long the pasta takes to cook.
    When the water boils drop in the pasta
    Grate the cheese.

    Two minutes before the pasta is cooked, put the chilli beans into the microwave. Blast for 1 minute, stir and blast another minute (that's 2 minutes for eacgh can - double it for two cans etc ...)

    Drain the pasta and plate it. Sprinkle on the cheese (if I’m really lazy I use slices rather than grated). Pour the chilli beans on top.
    The heat from the pasta and the beans will melt the cheese …
    Eat it …

    You can shuzz this up with bacon (frying it first so it’s crispy makes it nice crumbled onto the chilli beans. Add whatever herbs you like with the chilli beans – a sprinkling of basil is nice, oregano goes well. All those require more effort than the basic pasta/cheese/beans mix …
    "So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
