Smokey and the bandits


A picture from the New year barbeque, cooking muttonbirds. We got our licence renewal notices today. We'll just get one, as 25 muttonbirds is plenty.
Chuckle. You know you have a low profile here when the local cop wanders down onto the warf and asks you if you're a tourist. We've been here longer than he has. Actually I would think we're quite well known, just not at the sports club or pub.

  1. I'm sure you'd a lot more well known if there were more post offices on the island. >;)

  2. You've got the muttonbirds over charcoal. How the hell did you stop 'em bursting into flame?

  3. Flinthart? You should try Dr. Monkey's Pre-Burnt Muttonbirds! Yes, they've been through the flames already, so that when you cook them, you just get the smoke! No more flaming! Get them now, at better grocery stores. Ask for them by name, because it takes a tough man to make tender muttonbirds.

  4. I've had the famous wall of fire with them in the past, but this time all I got was SMOKE. Dunno why.

  5. Hah! Clearly you caught a flock of muttonbirds that had been dieting -- lower cholesterol, you know? :-)
