By popular demand I will not mention the louzy steenking windy weather we are having. Instead we will go to other topics, like culinary for one.

Cooked up the partridge soup last night as promised. Picture at right shows some of the prep work, added to that lot was some pork fat for sautéing, chicken stock, rice and then dough boys.
It is hard for partridge cooked any way not to come out tasting bloody great.

The bottom picture is of what we called ‘potato scallops’ down under, maybe not culinary but good any way. Thinly sliced spuds dipped in batter [this one is beer batter] then deep fried to a crisp crunchy outside and soft and delicious inside. Some fish and chip vinegar and salt to taste, some good boy.

Elsewhere: Not much can be found in msm or in NG public documents of the big loss [shortfall] on investments the Nunatsiavut Government has suffered in these uncertain times.
There is an audio interview here and it is my understanding CKOK will air an interview with the same NG official today.

More secrecy is evident in the talks on the proposed Long Pond Hydromet Smelter. Things could be ominous for the smelter construction and even the mine if things don’t go well in the talks.

All is not well with the outside world, some people have not come to the realization that things will get worse before they get better.

I heard an interview with a union organizer at the mine [CBC radio]; he sounded very worried that things may take a turn for the worse for mine workers if talks on the smelter go on too long.

And how about that federal budget, all the things that the PC's said they would never do they do, to save their jobs no doubt.

Big turn around from a couple months ago when Harper waffled that the down tick on the markets was a good buying opportunity for some, one super duper arse hole that guy.
