Steak always always at room temperature.

Heat a BIG frypan to something resembling the sun’s surface. Steak in. Sear the bugger and leave it there. Do not fiddle with the poor thing, it’s suffering enough. Turn steak. Repeat torture, but for a shorter time.*

Remove steak onto warm plate and cover loosely with foil. Rest it. Really rest it. Like it’s in a nursing home and is having a nap.

Meanwhile, use the frypan with all its crusty goodness for sauce.

If you’re doing an oven roast, same process with the monster piece in the baking pan – the seared lot can then go in the oven. I like to do it low and slow once it’s seared. The meat thermometer will tell you when it’s done.

* time will depend on thickness and cut, natch.

Fifteen years ago a woman in deep psychosis walked along a beach in Carnarvon dragging along a tired little three year old boy by the hand. She had no ID, having just arrived hitching a lift from Perth, and all the child knew well was his first name. My name is Oscar, he told them. He also knew, because we’d coached him, that he had a ‘daddy’ and a ‘grandma’. The police finally chased up my son in Perth where he and I had been frantically trying for days to find this woman, his ex-partner, who had absconded with his son. The Royal Flying Doctor Service delivered Oscar back to my son while once more the mother recovered in a locked ward. I flew back to Sydney from one of more than several transcontinental rescue missions. Don’t get me started on the WA Welfare bureaucracy. They kill children.

This Carnarvon talk has resurfaced some of those memories for me, an unbearable sadness. My grandson is now eighteen and a fine young man but he had a difficult early life and childhood. Always, it is the police who do the best work for families, at the frontline, but even their bureaucracies can fail to coordinate information.

every so often the big mushrooms turn up at the supermarket.

We had them growing every spring and autumn on our KI property. Huge! One that I measured was just under 30cms diameter.

Excellent for mushroom soup, but they had to be picked very soon after forming, or even while still closed, because the bugs were on to them in a flash.

Any doctor saying red meat is bad for you still in current year is a quack.

Treat them with utmost derision and contempt.

His only problem with red meat is that (a) I’m a fat bastid already, and (b) red meat has a high calorific value and (c) I eat far too much of it.

Breaking back in to the old alma mater and burning a blazer in protest….

A former student from an elite all-boys Melbourne private institution says he was the victim of homophobia at the school, which fostered a culture of misogyny and racism.

James Robinson broke into St Kevin’s College, located in the wealthy suburb of Toorak, this week and burned his old blazer to protest its culture.

“This week, Jordy De Goey, who attended my same-sex Catholic high school, was arrested in New York for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on a dancefloor. Unsurprising, given my school’s culture,” he said in a post on Instagram.

“I broke into the school yesterday to protest. Something snapped in me this time,” he said.

“The patriarchal culture I saw inside the school gates burst out and made its way to New York, my new home for the last five years. (Allegedly) assaulting someone in a city, where many in my queer community, like me, are rape and sexual assault survivors.”

Steak (or more correctly roast beef).
I know this sounds arse first to front, but it goes like this.
Can use any cut (eye fillet, scotch, whatever).
Bring meat to room temperature.
Season.
Put it in an oven set to 75C (not 175 but 75).
Cook it until it reaches 55C – 60C internal temp using meat thermometer. This will take a few hours depending on size.
Take it out and sear it in a pan.
Wrap it in layers of foil and a teatowel and rest it for minimum 30 minutes (preferably an hour).
Rare pink but not leaking blood.

I don’t think that’s something that we ever discussed with our children. Might have alluded or it came up in a jokey conversation somewhere as they got older (we are not prudes) but it’s the sort of thing they got the details about from elsewhere than us, their parents. After all, parents do have to maintain their dignity. It’s certainly not something that we would like teachers or ‘sex educators’ to discuss with our young children. It seems awfully intrusive to do that. Kids will find out in their own ways.

I know that I taught myself all about it. I’ve even written about that in Quadrant. 😀

Homophobia made you hate women and other races???
….
“This week, Jordy De Goey, who attended my same-sex Catholic high school, was arrested in New York for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on a dancefloor. Unsurprising, given my school’s culture

So this school releases 200 or so people every year who will assault a girl on a dancefloor??

….
where many in my queer community, like me, are rape and sexual assault survivors.”

Hmmmm, what link is there between that educational institution and your “communities” rape crisis? Are there hordes of homophobic school leavers running round bumming unsuspecting gay chaps against their will?

Okay. After this no more food talk. This is my pork belly recipe. No-fail.

Prepare the pork the day before by scoring it with a gem razor blade. Wipe off skin and salt it. Wipe it a lot over the next day and keep salting it. You want the skin dry as dust. The fridge will help too. Keep it uncovered.

The cider cooks down in the second stage. I wrap the lower, meaty side with foil in the resting phase, top exposed so it doesn’t soften up the crackling. You pull the thyme out and reduce the cider down while it’s resting. Add butter for sheen.

Cut the piece through the crackling with scissors because you’re never going to get a knife through it. Then cut the underlying tender meat with a knife. You’ll end up with delicious pieces of creamy meat topped with a crunch of crackling.

I was waiting for this angle from the race hustlers. Didn’t take long. They just can’t help themselves…..everything always has to come down to waaaaaaaaaaceeeeeeee…….even when finding an abducted little girl.

These people are sick.

I had absolutely no knowledge whatever of the little girl’s ancestry, and not the slightest interest. What has that to do with anything? Like everyone else, I was hoping she’d be found safe, and that was my entire interest in the case.
I’m made to want to protect children, especially little girls. And it doesn’t depend on their ancestry. Yes, these people are sick.

From Spiked. BloJo is moronic toff and a piece of shit.

Boris Johnson was put on the spot this week when he was asked if he thought Net Zero should be put to a referendum. This followed a YouGov survey that suggested a plurality supported going to the people. Owing his premiership to another referendum, he was put in the uneasy position of saying consulting the will of the people this time around probably wasn’t a good idea: ‘I think this country has probably had enough referendums to be getting on with for a while.’

I got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley
Got a hundred and sixty acres of the best
Got an old stove there that’ll cook three square
And a bunk where I can lay me down to rest.

Up at dawn to greet the sun
I’ve forgotten what a care or worry means
Head for home when day is done
With my pocket money jinglin’ in my jeans.
I’ve got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine
Got a hundred and sixty million stars above
Got an old paint hoss, I’m the guy who’s boss
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!

Up at dawn to greet the sun
I’ve forgotten what a care or worry means
Head for home when day is done
With my pocket money jinglin’ in my jeans.

Got a hundred and sixty million stars above
Got an old paint hoss, I’m the guy who’s boss
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!
Got an old paint hoss, I’m the guy who’s boss
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!

My second son seems to have recovered today from a two-day bad, happening ten days after his second Pfizer jab. He’s been quite sick with a thumping headache, even thanked me profusely via text today for the socially distanced Panadol drop. His wrists both went rather arthritic with painful joints. Unusually for the jab, he also complained of a sore throat. Hairy thinks he probably had Covid because he lives in Redfern where it is running around freely. I hope you didn’t tell him to take a Covid test, Hairy admonishes. Well, I did, but he didn’t anyway, I say. Good, says Hairy. No need for that. Luckily, I should add, this son lives alone and doesn’t go out much.

We used to care for them, educating them, making it as sure as practicable that they had a safe place to live. For our pains, we were accused of stealing them.

Perfect roast lamb…

Lamb leg (shoulder is better IMHO).
Stab repeatedly with sharp thin knife
Insert slices of garlic cloves in the stabs.
Mince up some more garlic, chilli salt & pepper, add just enough oil to make it into a paste.
Smear that over the top of the lamb.

The place the meat onto a very large sheet of baking paper about 40cm or more long
Add about 2 tablespoons of viet fish sauce to the bottom of the tray/baking paper. Wrap the meat in the paper, dont lose the sauce, you want that in there to keep it moist & tasty.
Tuck the ends in so the juices are all stuck in with the meat, no need to tie it, just tuck the ends in or add another layer of paper crossways.

Stick in the over at 100 for about an hour and a half.
Take out of the paper, there should be a heap of juice/fat in the tray now.
Give it a blast on about 180 for 20 minutes to 1/2 hr, get the outside nicely browned. You could do your spuds now but i prefer to do them after the blast.

Take the roast out and chuck a bit of foil over it and do the spuds/carrots, Brussel sprouts in the remaining juices, might have to add a bit of oil.

Then carve & serve.

its really, really good.

I’m made to want to protect children, especially little girls. And it doesn’t depend on their ancestry. Yes, these people are sick.

Our latest grand daughter – one day old as I type – came home today and our son was keen to introduce his 60kg dog to her. He wants him to bond well to his little girl. He – the dog – has gone totally dotty over her and is surprisingly gentle. Rushes up to check on her every time she squeaks a boo. An extra layer of protection as she grows up. These days, you need it.

Cooking: prize apart two duck legs, switch on grill. Sit and read something not too absorbing* until smell of burning triggers. Turn over duck legs with a fork.
Pour out one glass of Bowen’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, drink until triggered by smell of burning.
Switch off grill, empty duck legs onto plate, add orange squish from alfoil, top up glass with more BECS.
Eat. Use fingers when convenient. Lick fingers afterwards. Lick orange squish off plate.
Top up glass again.

Brekkie Creek Hotel bacon sauce:

you just can’t beat bacon recipes

more pork. Having tried every variation of crispy skin pork belly including the complicated overnight chinese ones, this is the only recipe I use now and is also the easiest:

with one of those meat tenderisers with lots of little knives. go over the skin side of a nice piece of pork belly several times until it is well and truly perforated. we are talking holes every millimeter type of perforation.

sprinkle a bit of salt on the skin side.
sprinkle some herbs and spices on the bottom side . chinese 5 spice with garlic works well. you can even lay it on top of a real herb twigs like rosemary.

cook 65C for 6 hrs skin side up. if your oven doesn’t go that low you can do 75C or higher but will have to experiment with time.

fire up the oven top grill. mine needs to be about 80% setting. crisp skin side up till it all crackles nicely about 5-7 mins give or take. if your piece of pork is not flat then cut it so you have similar flat pieces otherwise parts will burn while others won’t crisp. pull out pieces as they crackle up. if you pull them out soon as they crackle they will be light and crispy with the meat tender and juicy. don’t over crisp them as the skin goes hard and chewy.

serve with mustard or other sauce.

Man charged over Cleo abduction, as girl emerges for first time since rescue

Paige Taylor
Indigenous Affairs Correspondent, WA Bureau Chief
@paigeataylor
10 minutes ago November 4, 2021

A man has been charged over the abduction of Cleo Smith in Western Australia.

The Western Australia Police Force has charged Carnarvon man Terry Darrell Kelly, 36, with the abduction of the four-year-old.

Mr Kelly appeared briefly in the dock of the Carnarvon courthouse shortly after 4.15pm local time (7pm AEDT).

Western Australian police announced that the 36-year-old Carnarvon man had been charged with various offences, including one count of forcibly take a child under 16.

“The man was taken into custody shortly before officers from Operation Rodia rescued the

missing girl from a locked house in Carnarvon in the early hours of Wednesday, 3 November,” WA police said in a statement.

“Cleo had been missing for 18 days after disappearing from her family’s tent at the Blowholes

campsite on 16 October. She is now safely back with her family.”

Mr Kelly uttered several outbursts during the special late-afternoon hearing, including: “I’m coming for you!”

Barefoot and wearing a back t-shirt, he appeared to be pointing to where media was sitting in the public gallery.

He also asked the judge: “What the f*ck are the media doing here?”

The magistrate replied: “It’s an open court”.

perfect roast chicken.

cut out spine and butterfly flat a good quality chicken and place both on a shallow pan. squash some garlic cloves (no need to peel them) and put under chicken in the pan. I also like to use fresh rosemary and thyme under the chicken. can use chicken straight from the fridge too.

I use 2 meater wireless thermometers. stick one probe deep in the breast at one end and the 2nd probe in the other breast at the opposite end. both probes parallel to pan. place pan+chicken, breast side facing into a preheated 200C fan forced oven, legs facing door.

cook at 200C till one thermometer reaches 54C. around 30ish mins. rotate pan 180 degrees, legs now facing in and breast side towards door and continue cooking till the 2nd thermometer hits 54C.

pull out of oven onto a heat proof surface. let sit 30 mins, don’t skip the resting, the temp will continue to rise to 60C+ for the breast to be done. there is no need to cover the chicken.

carve.

A few tips for Porterhouse fans:
If you’re looking to go on the Meat Diet and save yourself a lot of dosh, as well as save the environment, you’ll be eating rare steaks at least 40 ml thick.
Porterhouse is covered in Fascia under the fat, and while that melts with roasting it doesn’t fry well.
The trick is to give it a good bashing with a heavy pot.
That flattens the fat layer out so when you sear that side the Fascia melts.
The steak will look a bit thin and sad after the bashing but cooking puffs it up again.
5 minutes in the oven at 220 C completesthe process, let it stand on the counter another 5, season with pepper, there’s all your vitamins, minerals and fat to keep you going, 20 minutes from start to finish.

Kill a Six or Seven year old Hereford Ox (either bullock or cow) 

Wait!
What?
I may be a pooftah-pansy Mexican city slicker, but is it possible for a cow to be an ox?
I mean, an ox is a castrated male bovine, right?
What’s going on up there in Queensssland?
Can cows identify as oxen?

Cleo’s dad lives at Mandurah, that’s a fair way from Carnarvon, so unless he doesn’t care much about his daughter, which I say is exteremely unlikely, there are other Court Orders.

This may come as a shock to a Brisvegas shut-in, but there are many, many kids living with parents and their BFs/GFs etc without having court orders in play. Weird, huh?

The Public are entitled to know these things

Actually, they’re not.

‘Your Answer’s Not Making Any Sense’: Ted Cruz Grills CVS Exec About Shoplifting In San Francisco

Bern, Lizzie…and anyone else who lives in Wentworth…have you received an email from Soggy Lettuce Leaf Dave Sharma?

No. Got an invite to something a few months ago, but given the letters Hairy and I write him I guess he has given up on us.

An old and still very left friend of ours in Sydney’s salubrious East is mumbling online about making a run against the Liberals in some Federal electorate; mentioning Wentworth. When he says ‘against’, he means more left and more green, Steggall style, in an ‘Independents’ putsch. Now this is really stretching the friendship a bit. Mostly we’ve avoided politics in our increasingly rare interactions but I don’t think we can avoid this one. I may have to drop him a finalising line saying we are barracking against the Libs too, but from the other side of things. Net zero 50 can and must be defeated. In this way are lifelong friendships dead in the water.

If I disagree with a friend’s opinion, I tell him, or her, so. I’m prepared to discover I’m wrong and if I do, I change my mind. If they can’t do the same, they aren’t worth knowing.

One could ask what role Joe Burns has had to play in all of this.
The answer is almost certainly “nothing” but it doesn’t stop me “just putting it out there”.

ox, (Bos taurus, or B. taurus primigenius), a domesticated form of the large horned mammals that once moved in herds across North America and Europe (whence they have disappeared) and Asia and Africa, where some still exist in the wild state. South America and Australia have no wild oxen. Oxen are members of the Bovidae family.

The castrated male of B. taurus is a docile form especially useful as a draft animal in many less developed parts of the world. Oxen are also used for food in some areas.

Male or female – cows & bulls = females & male oxen

Not in rural Australia Fat Tony.
Ox, Bullocks, Oxen is a castrated male.
No-one who has been anywhere near a cattleyard in Australia refers to female bovines as anything but cows or heifers.
Or COWS.

Oxford’s Linacre College to be renamed after £155m Vietnamese donation
Change to Thao College proposed following huge gift
Billy Kenber, Charlie Hancock
Wednesday November 03 2021, 9.45am GMT, The Times

An Oxford college is to be named after a Vietnamese billionaire identified in a leak of documents that show how the rich use tax havens after her “transformative” donation of £155 million.

Linacre College, which was founded in the 1960s and named after the Renaissance humanist Thomas Linacre, will seek permission to become Thao College in recognition of a gift from Vietnam’s richest woman, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, and her company Sovico Group.

The group owns Vietjet Air, Vietnam’s first private airline, which after being founded in 2007 was nicknamed the “bikini airline” because of its use of models in bikinis in PR stunts.

A Vietnamese billionaire – there’s something wrong there, I just can’t put my finger on it……
