Only have small servings Dr Shackles

, truly

The leg was trimmed of most fat, sweet potato and potato baked with a little olive oil, and a Big serving of green mint peas.

And the cake is whole meal flour, dried fruit, banana, coconut, unsalted mixed nuts and low fat milk, and a naughty bit of milo Cheesy

Surely, Dr Shackles, You can't deny me a few of life's little luxuries Grin

The Boss has decreed that we will be having a roast done in the Baby Q for lunch so I'll be sure to get a couple of pics. I have a lamb leg, piece of pork or an uncured piece of brisket from which to choose. I'm favouring the brisket so you can bet it will be either one of the other two when I have the choice made for me Wink

The Monsoon seems to be with us... finally ... so it might be a carport job I think.

Saves watering the new vegie patches 'tho.

Cheers

Stand up for yourself Son. Stop being intimidated by your better half Cheesy

You could try tricking your good woman by suggesting the pork or lamb Grin

Enjoy your lunch. We are having vegemite sandwiches today

Baked a King George Whiting this arvo Smiley

No filleting, no scaling, just gutted and placed on foil to save cleaning the plate.

Ate straight from the foil. Yum bloody yum.

Baked a couple of small mackerel fish also. Most people throw them back because they are boney, but baked and the meat picked out they were OK.

They are nothing like your Mackerel up there.

Down here, these are not often kept.

Cindy had a lot of fun, catching about 20 of these. There wasn't much else around last night. I kept two for a taste and they were Ok.

When I was a kid used to catch dozens of them and yep we do get them up here in Qld.

When I was 16 I had a bloke in Sydney make me a very light fishing rod and used to use 2 pond breaking strain line and a German DAM reel to catch them. Great little sport fish

Never eaten them but fantastic bait whole for large fish and as a cut bait for just about anything.

By the way, nice looking whiting. King George is still one I am yet to catch.

King George is our Premier fish down here Derek.

My personal best is 48cm and I have seen a 65cm on a fishing forum.

The one I cooked today was 33cm (legal size 31cm)

Not much to catching them. You just gotta find them Cheesy

Tonight, I fired up the jumbuck for a late night snack of Brushetta (toasted olive oil bread) Smiley

Did I tell youse, I'm in Lurve Grin

During my final navy years as an Instructor at HMAS Cerberus we used to take a work boat out into Hann's Inlet where we would often get a few King George whiting. One of the nicest tasting fish ever. On a par with our Coral Trout.

Cheers
