Awesome Dude!

Far out! Way cool... I am on Ageless! Meet my neighbours over there;

Now see my head! Oh and
Google... 5 hits all in all, I have to smile here, like anyone really cares but me... but it helps me keep my head clear and my fingers keyboard fit...
Ok macho guys... don't shoot me but
Spacefem is sooo funny. If you have time to kill, pay a visit even if you are not a feminist... you may learn something.
Been watching TV this evening, canned myself at Frasier, I sometimes think I am emulating him... hmmmm, must get that analysed... I had also been watching Cold Case, another series that makes use of music that fits the genre of the episode... tonight was all seventies hippie period music, one was from the Youngbloods... Come Together, our lyrics for today and from my teens;

Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Funky music man... Something else that is funky is cooking, I enjoy it tremendously, except the washing up that is, so today I will add some cuisine to the scene with some recipes I have dished up from time to time.
Le saumon avec la sauce de tomate et vegtables - Salmon with tomato sauce and veggies.


2 to 3 servings, can be squeezed or stretched to suit fish or company.
Ingrédients - Components... errr ingredients
1 fillet of salmon (canadian cos it is cheaper) big enough for your baking dish
2 cans tomato paste
1 leftover bit of tomato sauce in All Gold bottle
1 leftover bit of mayo in bottle
1 nice sized onion
1 serving spoon of peppadews

1 500/750g bag vegetables of your choice from P&P or Woolies, I used one that had carrots/sweet potato and butternut, will be trying other variations to the theme. Some olive oil, black pepper to taste, veggie seasoning and paprika. Set oven on 300 - full blast to warm it while you prep da fish and do the sauce... Get your fav saucepan as well and a baking dish big enough to hold the fish and veggies Dice & slice the onion and peppadew, seperately or together. Put the veggies in the microwave and nuke em for 5 minutes at least, rember to make a hole in the bag, it will explode if not!
La Sauce - the Sauce
A dash of olive oil in the saucepan, saute onions and add peppadew or do em in tandem, add the leftovers in the 2 bottles by swishing around the leftover with 250 ml. warm water, toss into onions that should be ready by then, add tomato paste and some Italian herbs, simmer slowly while you prep the fish... You should have around 750 ml when done, add water if needed.
Le poisson - the Fish
Wipe the fish with about a desertspoon of olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper to taste and colour the fish with some paprika, place in baking dish and put in oven... Don't forget! Turn once when the fish starts browning, this should not take longer than 6 minutes a side.
La combinaison - the Combining of it all
Now whip out the veggies and the fish, open the bag and arrange veggies around the fish in dish (rhymes), pour the sauce over the fish and veggies, return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, put grill on for the first 5 then swich off the oven... the fish and veggies will do the final cooking in the residual heat of the oven.
Prepare your table in the meantime... Goes well with a fine tossed salad and good company or it will serve two days worth of leftover for a single dude like me, there, ain't I awesome.
