fried Abelone

I was so wrapped up in a piece I was trying to write that I nearly forgot to post today. We're expecting gloomy weather, so we went out to Peter's & Helen's place and took advantage of the offer of some extra she-oak. It's a beautiful spot, but oddly that doesn't make She-oak any lighter or softer! I've been trying to track down details for kids future here too. Needless to say they don't fit any of the damned boxes that are intended to sort people's lives out. So tomorrow will be more phone calls. B has sorted James flights out for the holidays - but we're still not sure about Pads.

I did Abelone in Island style (whole abalone crumbed, and fried) Now I have heartburn. Serves me right I guess.
