Gone Fishing

Everybody loves a day off! Even better, most folks love to do their favourite thing on that day off.

For some this might mean shopping, for others it might be cooking. For my significant other, he would prefer to wake up at the crack of dawn (5:30am) and traipse with his best mate to their favourite fishing spot, which is about 1&1/2 hrs drive from here.

Whenever the boys go fishing, it’s always a fun filled anticipation as to what they might return home with. Sometimes it’s Australian Salmon (apparently best for fish cakes) or maybe some Whiting, sometimes it can be nothing too!

The only thing I’m certain of, is the guys have rumbling tummies when they get back in the afternoon and I can usually be called on to rustle up a mid-afternoon feast!

Crunchy munchy!

Ok, it was an insane amount of food but they’d only had a couple of museli bars during the day. For most blokes, chicken wings & beer is the remedy to this (then leftovers at 12am.)

Finally, it was all followed by my (sweatheart’s) favourite fruit, guest starring today as a Blackberry Cobbler

The one who didn’t get away. This little guy is called a Flathead and he’s pretty tasty with chips! He’s sitting on ice now until my guy comes out of his chicken coma…
