Friday the 21st of March 2008. Easter Friday but also the day that Nathan and Fiona tied the knot. A beautiful day all round (but not as beautiful as the bride and groom). Dancing and fun to be had by all into the evening. Check out the pics. Niawwwww.
I wish I could eat more of it. Maybe some of these recipes will help you satisfy that hunger, scratch that itch. Just ask where the recipe is for Beer Can Chicken.
So, apart from the odd post, you can see it’s been pretty quiet on scrambledminds for some time. Boringly so. Thanks to those that think that even when there are posts that it isn’t boring as batshit (Julie). So it’s time to get my act into gear and get some more gear up here. And I will, when I’m finished revamping the site. This involves me learning how to make it look snazzy so it may take some time!
Jodes and I made a great Prawn and Chorizo Paella (Pa-aya) from The Good Weekend (The Sydney Morning Herald weekend magazine) a few months ago. It tasted so good that I thought that I would throw the recipe away! So after buying the prawn and chorizo and realising that the recipe was not to be found, my obsessive compulsive stupidity was rescued by the wonders of the Interweb. I found this stonking recipe and we relived the dream. We just followed the directions, put twice as many prawns in and skipped the Scallops. What more could you want?
Word.
It’s not every day that you see 90 of something. It’s not every day that you get a chance to hear the “meaning of life” (thanks Ian). We were lucky enough to do both on Sunday with the celebration of Gordon Goodwin’s 90th birthday. A man of fine taste (Verdehlo, Sauvignon Blanc, Whisky, Classical Music - Refer to the headphones), fine stories, reading and a loving family and friends. A celebration worthy of such a milestone was held and fun was had by all. Have a look at the slideshow, or the photo album.
… and the meaning of life? Love.
Not typically two terms you hear together but I thought they sounded great together. That’s why Jody and I got engaged while we were in China. Apart from Jody being quite blunt that she thought that it would happen while we away, it was a romantic affair at M on the Bund in Shanghai. So, we are to be wed.
Here’s us with the Shanghai business district views in the background.
Here’s the slideshow or the album of the pics from the trip.
So I’ve taken the plunge after a number of years contemplating it… I’ve bought a Mac. I thought that I’d bite the bullet and get into some computer technology where I can generate content rather than piss-fart around tring to get software or hardware working. Well, that’s the desire anyway. I ended up getting one of the new iMacs and it’s a treat so far. I’ve had a few little hiccups in just attempting something while being classically conditioned for the Microsoft Windows world but it’s actually fading pretty quickly. Anyway, these are pretty (quite) pretty machines.
