The Island earth in your bones
Another Island funeral today, another old islander come home to mix with the earth that was in his bones.
We chopped up several wallaby today - dog tucker and for us. I made some kebabs with wallaby marinaded in chilli, light soy, garlic, oil, and sesame seeds. Most of them fell off. Meat was interspersed with pieces of briefly soaked shitake mushroom. Still, grilled on a griddle and drizzled with oyster sauce, young broccoli in a dijon mustard sauce, and wedges of cold spanish omelette it made not a bad supper.

I like your clearly vintage wine, there. Bin 7--is that where it's found, or where the grapes are grown?

Only the finest garbage for us! It's actually a shiraz-viognier blend 2009, and okay for a cheap bottle (a 12) despite the label!
ReplyDeleteThere's a wine here in the states known as two-buck-Chuck that is reputed to be quite good (the name on the bottle is Charles something). I wouldn't know--I don't drink...wine. :D
