    A Divers Christmas

    Its a tradition

    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

    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.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    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?

    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.
