Dad just came for some Wombaroo to take up to Mrs Magpie.

This is what i feed them, it's powdered insects that i mix in with 90% lean mince thats been frozen for longer than 3 days to kill any parasites.

Labour Day Weekend cometh...
Hoping for a few monsoon-free days.
Planning on giving the medium format stable some overdue exercise--Bronica SQ-B, Mamiya 645 Super and RB67 Pro S.

Let us know how it goes!

I looked at a few recipes and it seems the key elements are:
1) firm, lower moisture cheese, cut into strips or big cubes
2) double coating (flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, then repeat all three steps)
3) freeze for 30 minutes to an hour
4) make sure oil is hot first (375F - 190C) and don't out too many pieces in at once. Fry for 2-3 minutes.

Might have made the cheese sticks a touch to fat, was just over 4 minutes to get them fully melted which made the crumbs a tad to well done.

Cheddar these were made from, pretty ok for a 1st time...

I been seriously looking at Macbook Pros. I never been a huge fan of Apple but I can't deny their quality, especially with the Laptops. They have what I'm looking for and they hold their value far longer than Windows laptops. It would also be really exciting to learn an entire new operating system. To be frank, I'm kinda bored of Windows.

Another too hot day for a walk. Hopefully it will cool a bit this weekend. Painting of the flood wall is this weekend with graffiti artists from around the country. International teams have participated in years past.

You're summers nearly over, it's a horrible season.

Unless one is a reptile...

Thanks for the good thoughts on my day shoot
I arrived early so that I could potter about taking test shots which I did both inside the pub and outside.
The chap who asked me to do the photography was the MC and did all the directions and moving people into place
I was able to just concentrate on taking the pics
End of the day I had a brill fun day and the chap who asked was really pleased with the pics

And I am to be credited as author of the images
I have been asked not to post any images so can’t let you all see.

Happy Friday, hosers! And Happy Labor day to everyone who celebrates it.

Weather here has been humid and hot, but that's breaking just in time for the long weekend. We're going to break out the grill and I'm thinking lamb chops and herbs.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Planned on doing a butterflied leg of lamb on charcoal for Sunday but the guest list suddenly shrank. Ontario lamb is nice--get it farm gate with a bit of a drive. Same crew also raises Scottish Deerhounds--not for the grill!. Get offered one every few years. Lovely dogs. Just too much pup now for the bungalow but maybe later at the family ruin. Drop-dead gorgeous mutts, no?
Fallback is fresh pork backribs. 48hr marinade and a few more slow hrs over charcoal Sunday.
Do live it up over the weekend!
