A Divers Christmas

[NavyDiver]

Its a tradition[biggrin]

A bit like running - apologies to any offended. Wet suite is not as bad as my bike gear at least! I put my top on before going in the water!

Waves were 1- 2 metres high which made it one step forward- 20 metres back at times[biggrin]

Three free divers decided NOT to join the washing machine like conditions.

My BIL was a Navy Diver. He got the bands and doesn't dive anymore except for a bit of snorkelling. He only ever cooks snags on the barbie.

You can keep the shellfish and lobster. I don’t like either.

I haven’t been diving since we left Norfolk Island in 1993. I ended up dumping some of my gear except fins, mask, and snorkel. The problem is my mask had lenses (I was very short-sighted at the time) and now I can’t find the non-corrective lenses for the mask.

I can’t say I was a keen diver.

Excuse me Waiter, what follows that from the Dessert Menu? A nice large Tarte Tatin would be nice if the kitchen can handle it? [smilebigeye]

I chopped and flash fried the abalone with butter, Garlick and spring onion. Sprinkled them like chopped nuts over the crayfish. It was a first attempt for me. Interesting they popped like bacon bits. Lid needed to keep them in a hot pan.

All set up, then I was called away for pick up duties for mum. The crew assembled the cray fish cocktails and put both a bit of both my sauces on all. A unexpected hit surprise Heather!

A slight change was 2nd sauce was fresh Basil, Lemon Thyme, Parsley, Lime juice S&P and olive oil. The vivid green was great as was the flavor hits. All from my garden made it sweeter as well.

Hope you all had a great Christmas.
