Stephen Judd, you're on!
Candidates: brill
turbot
Okarito freshrun flounders
Ellesmere flounders-we could have the best kind of cook-off!

Yo Raymond (you have the name shared by a much-loved uncle, who died in2001)-
it's very possible Andrew (my younger brother) could've been in Fleur's-
we (family) go there a lot (he's black-haired, brown-skinned, and relatively tall - his wife is also striking, as are their kids)
BUT- Andrew doesnt 'bait much. I'm the obsessive there-brill is one of the BEST flatfish in Aotearoa-NZ - you lucky person you!

Thank goodness & the USA voting public that Shrubya will go into oblivion. But - not total oblivion: we really need to remember these last sickening 8 years - all the world, all of us.
Awaiting the coming day-

Ah, Flannery...should be compulsory reading for - well, anyone who hasnt read him.

I was taught to make potato skins by a Bostonian academic. Baked potatoes in their jackets to just-cookedness: halve & hollow 'em out, leaving just enough potato flesh on the skins, then quarter/eighth the skins, and deepfry in olive oil...you will have already flavoured them with garlic & chilli & salt, and their crunchy goodness-especially with the rim of baked potato- is addictive.
Aue! I've never found a place that makes them as well as Chez Moi...and I only like to cook them in large batches, so it happens about once a year.Arboreal wombats - heh! Joe, let's all be thankful that the giant koala (estimated to have weighed between 20-30k) went extinct...

Hooray for mothers Giovanni!
And waua! steven crawford! I have a disabled family member who is about to start fundraising!
-
tiramisu - if made with real coffee & genuine ladyfingers...I used to (in my travelling days) test a restaurant for *desserts only* by tiramisu/zabglione/black forest cherry cake -which are the only desserts I like, obtainable from a restaurant (my mother makes brillant ones, but aue! she isnt cloned, yet.)
Odd, that two of them are from John Anecdote (or whatever his name is)'s country-

Whoa! Total propaganda! And, given the size of my p.paraphanta & their's. I think there is some - adjusting going on-
this turned out to be a Solid Energy propaganda exercise.
Any comment out there? -
Next, is "Snail: The Movie" - which will be fun. Know a lot of the folk involved and have an ancient augusta shell- I'll keep it desktop while watching how it's rellies may be slaughtered. Sweet dreams, everyone-

Anybody watch "A Lion's Trail" on the Sky documentary channel tonight?
That song was part of my growing up. I loved & love it.
The doco was an EXCELLECENT example of how copyright is frequently stolen/controlled by INDIVIDUALS before being contracted to big companies.
The doco after, on Ralph, is pseudo- mystique,rambling, & while the music has some of my friends - now dead- playing it, and Cilla reading
her ephemeral poetry, and some *really* bad music in it, it makes a less impact than the first *minute* of Solomon Lente's song-
