......... They may have a point. Frederick (my lawyer) has advised me that blogging about tomatoes and taking photos of stuffed toys wearing glasses is deranged.<br />

For those who have stumbled across this blog stay tuned. Next I will blog about pad thai sandwiches.<br />

That is the secret to fishing. Naturally when I got onto the boat all the other fishermen laughed at me [sniff] but as I was going to be doing a load of activities over the next 3 days I didn't want to deal with socks. With 4 different water sports activities on I was going to be in and out of the water. And then showers and then you need clean socks. So thats a lot of socks. Easiest thing to do is wear flip flops.

Even though they were excellent and catching and cleaning fish the lads were not interested in eating them. Fishermen don't eat fish. Who knew? </div><br />
We thought we were going to cook them but we walked into the restaurant and they did it all for us. I would have gone simple a fried the fillets and finished them with lemon. We got pollock in a beurre blanc sauce and mackerel and gurnard in a stir fry. Gurnard is tasty and cheap although has 1,000 bones.<br />
<br />
Here is the final dish. Alway blurrys as my hands shake with giddyness. It tasted better than it looks. I thought I had a photo of the mackerel and gurnard stir fry but I don't. I was too busy eating.<br />

We ate as much as we could and I refused to leave any fish on the platter. After all these fish died by our hands - apart from the Gurnard- so it only seemed right to do the justice. Nom, nom, nom justice.<br />
<br />
The rest of the weekend was spent surfing, paddle boarding, sailing, eating, drinking and sleeping. But I don't have any photos of that. The fish are the star of this post. The stars of the sea one could say. Cough, cough. <br />

A religious experience going here. I never get tired of it. Although walking here in flip flops was a little tricky. This would have been an occasion to have socks. But that would have required 2 pairs, one for during, one for after. You see, it makes sense. No socks.<br />

Some great meals, quality moule marinere, t-bone steaks and grilled lobster eaten. Also had a burger with fried banana and bacon which was a revelation. Got plenty of inspiration for future blog posts and seeing as I've posted more in June then in the combined history of this blog I don't know whether I'm being super productive or really lazy. Maybe I need to get back to the day job.<br />

Here is the reef and beef<br />

The 3 days felt like 2 weeks and if I could describe it in 1 word it would be satisfied. Sometimes when you go away the surf can be crap or you get dodgy stodgy overpriced food but every meal was out of the park good,. Great ingredients every time. And mix that with lots of water based activities, hot showers, a big bed and I am one satisfied rabbit.<br />
<br />
And now I am home. Home listening to this.<br />

This was to make elderflower syrup. 12 heads, 4 lemons, equal parts sugar and boiling water. Leave it for a day, strain and add to fizzy water and you've got homemade lemonade. Its pretty mild, add lots of it to the fizzy water. Really good for a hangover. Speaking of which. Time for bed.

</div><div>And now for a daily calorific meal in one sitting. This was after a very long day. So it is a 3 egg/2 cheese omelette with 4 slices of bacon. 4 is a good number of bacon in a sandwich. 3 is the minimum, 5 is greedy but 4 is just right. I ate this as a sandwich but if you wanted to cut out the carbs I'm sure you could eat it with a knife and fork. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd9oRPORC5H4d4ZgJwYwKY6xk09TBdrlvKWD7kvmjX-inuekI0McU9KVUaPUd7UA6AMZ44Lel2JkKf3lrn2ceTLQ0EOQ62CuhMdIOzWapQKVCf6XiTJ1ZkXBpjn4sjN1OcjkgV7MMFUiU/s1600/IMG_0949%255B1%255D" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="300" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589481113114150418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd9oRPORC5H4d4ZgJwYwKY6xk09TBdrlvKWD7kvmjX-inuekI0McU9KVUaPUd7UA6AMZ44Lel2JkKf3lrn2ceTLQ0EOQ62CuhMdIOzWapQKVCf6XiTJ1ZkXBpjn4sjN1OcjkgV7MMFUiU/s400/IMG_0949%255B1%255D" width="400" /></a></div><div>I'm pretty sure it has enough calories to keep you going for the day. I had it as a breakfast/lunch. Then had a nap, then went for a cross country run and it kept me going for 90 minutes. Wasn't even that hungry after the run either. You could conquer the world with cheese and bacon. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Update: This sandwich also works with sausages and sweet chilli sauce. The omelette is essential:</div><div><br />

<div><br />
</div><div>First here is a close up on the prastrami. It looks deceptively gross. Like a chewed carpet. I think If I had added prague powder it would have been more appealing. </div><div><br />
<div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587418506605268498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF_Z9cgpny8ZxvGZBG_wDZRKAtg_h13SP4vGyKN_Dg2Mn7y21RaG5ffzZC64Zv0MX6KGzW5-yYRBL4xwkXzZx_jkLpEbbmlxJKu8QZLtEKUutCY61wOURSRHPo4TVYUDn0QLcCMD44kQw/s400/DSC08164.JPG" width="300" /></div></div><div><br />
</div></div><div>And here is the salted beef. It is overcooked and just fell apart when I tried to slice it. So I shredded it instead. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrIW_OU8Ghy3dGwNz0e36atGhKHiHrWD2JAt3FY7OYMZ1QAwuLNMUAbSRHhbOAawA5qfrpuZCKdAbxRnSxp3OAyv1Vys2PXbhAVRnmA7SEnHzItWDiUBXpvooLX9QttOH-d7-kXD-Y7Q/s1600/DSC08156.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587420085620614450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrIW_OU8Ghy3dGwNz0e36atGhKHiHrWD2JAt3FY7OYMZ1QAwuLNMUAbSRHhbOAawA5qfrpuZCKdAbxRnSxp3OAyv1Vys2PXbhAVRnmA7SEnHzItWDiUBXpvooLX9QttOH-d7-kXD-Y7Q/s400/DSC08156.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div><br />

</div><div>In the interest of privacy I've left photos of all people who attended the meat festival off the blog.

Once again this recipe is from Tim Hayward at the Guardian. I highly reccomend it for a great day / event. We got lunch and dinner out of it for 6 people. And 6 greedy people too. Well no I have to admit that I was the hungriest hippo of the lot and had a total of 5 sandwiches before the day was out. <br />
<div><br />
</div><div>First photo look at the brining. You have to rotate the meat every 24 hours. I just like how a clove of garlic got mashed into the meat. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMZCw-ZwvkydaazuKVtC0kmyZqevBzm3HBMBdcFXjPHpxYIuSfiH-7RIFJS4plCbFXfY9uuKg4bUfjoe7PcrZNNP6FMls2Hp4oKIGFKoLx5RcpvmPh5iHJZp0MzpfPgBKqLojQs38qAw/s1600/DSC08123.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571073197590559170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMZCw-ZwvkydaazuKVtC0kmyZqevBzm3HBMBdcFXjPHpxYIuSfiH-7RIFJS4plCbFXfY9uuKg4bUfjoe7PcrZNNP6FMls2Hp4oKIGFKoLx5RcpvmPh5iHJZp0MzpfPgBKqLojQs38qAw/s640/DSC08123.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Where to next.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">So this evening will be the evening of the salted beef. I wash it and pat dry. Then it goes into a pot with carrots onions and bay leaves.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I don't know how long blog pages normally are. Maybe the prastrami should be another post. But I'm already typing so I'll continue. I'll keep writing until I reach the limit. So Saturday morning I light up the chips. I think this may have been a mistake as they burn really fast. I turn on the gas underneath to keep it smoking and I add more chips. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfpMXBDs38gK3KB8vtQHyfLbfkxPRL_53CosClkwFX3zLwf79jRgO-YnM6W2uUsm8tS1EtWLzQUFfEC1hXtDoKvX4szbZ1mw4CNhM5XxS7wkfIbpxYgp3tW2thSHdJyASH0hm6GfC5mI/s1600/DSC08144.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571077483173529778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfpMXBDs38gK3KB8vtQHyfLbfkxPRL_53CosClkwFX3zLwf79jRgO-YnM6W2uUsm8tS1EtWLzQUFfEC1hXtDoKvX4szbZ1mw4CNhM5XxS7wkfIbpxYgp3tW2thSHdJyASH0hm6GfC5mI/s640/DSC08144.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is the prastrami covered in the spice rub. It gets smoked until it has an internal temperature of 70 degrees. It looks like the original but without the prague powder neither of them have that pink colour. After the smoking I place it on a wire rack and then fill a roasting tin underneath with water. Then wrap the whole lot in tin foil and then it goes into the oven for 3-4 hours. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcF-y8HoofsZCw5Ny0MtgbfM0_ByKKph-8nMPerK8wEGqIKo1ctRfE6CbKbyhTXxxdxO8HOYtxIzH6OaftJpXP6kqonNSLRft2ktJ4duZPoy0OFTBK-mj3-vBNaA0ZkauEMC2txUZJu0/s1600/DSC08147.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571081285088510018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcF-y8HoofsZCw5Ny0MtgbfM0_ByKKph-8nMPerK8wEGqIKo1ctRfE6CbKbyhTXxxdxO8HOYtxIzH6OaftJpXP6kqonNSLRft2ktJ4duZPoy0OFTBK-mj3-vBNaA0ZkauEMC2txUZJu0/s640/DSC08147.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">But here are some slices of it.

But thats for a different post. This one is about meat. <br />
<div><br />
This is a photo record of my attempt to make salted beef and prastrami from scratch. This recipe is from Tim Hayward at the Guardian whose an awesome food writer. This is the spice mix.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now is where it got messy. It is supposed to be put in ziplock bags and put in the fridge. It was carnage in the kitchen with the brine going everywhere. So I put the meat in 2 containers and wrapped in cling film and left them out in the utility. It was also recommended to add prague powder but it was optional and sounds mental so I left it out. Its supposed to give the meat the pink colour so lets see what happens. The next stage is cooking it in 5 days time. Have to find wood chips for the smoking. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
