This year I took the kids for a walk down the beach and as we walked we talked about the war and how 60% of the men who left to fight did not come back and how fortunate we are to live in a place and time of relative peace.
Whilst at the beach I took some cameraphone shots of the kids. I must do a proper photoshoot with a real camera of them soon!
We also collected limpets which I googled on the beach and found are edible.
Being somewhat Bear Grill wannabes we bought 12 home to eat. in the interest of preparing something nice that maybe we could eat again, I made an effort to present something palatable as well as edible. I cooked them in butter with chopped red onion having no garlic to hand.
then we tried them....
YUK
they were so gritty it was like eating sand! what a waste of butter and onion! So for future reference as Crocodile Dundee would say
"You can eat them, but they taste like sh!t"
Fortunately we are having Roast Pork and all the trimmings for Dinner tonight thank God we dont have to survive on Limpets
LOL Jane you are a star mum!!!!
ReplyDeleteSlightly disgusted that you can take better photos on your phone than many can with proper cameras though!!!
that made me giggle the limpets not the photos I don't think you need worry about a 'proper' photoshoot these are wonderful shots especially the one of your DD
ReplyDeleteHilary: Great photos. Don't they look grown up! Had to laugh at your tale.
