Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. This just tickled me pink when I stumbled across it. There are so many of these spoofs on youtube, and then spoofs of the spoofs where Linux comes into it.
For my non-nerdy readers, you'll probably end up wondering why I find this even remotely funny. Sorry again!

Salmon with coriander and lime sauce and blanched zucchini
I am growing coriander in my garden so I am seeking out different ways to use it. I found this coriander and lime sauce recipe on the Internet which I figured would go well with the salmon I bought at the market. I was right.
Coriander and Lime sauce
3 bunches coriander, cleaned and chopped roughly
Juice of 3 limes
3 bunches spring onions, green part only, chopped roughly
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 1/2 cups yogurt
2 tbsps water, cold
1/2 tsp honey
3 tbsps canola oil (I used olive oil)
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Thin out with water if too thick. Keep refrigerated.
I cooked the salmon using my grill press for about 4 mins.
I blanched some zucchini and dressed it with oil, salt, vinegar and oregano.
And I had one of the best meals I have ever cooked for myself. I wonder what Gordon Ramsey would have thought of it?
Apologies for the bad photo - it was dark and you know how much I love taking photos in bad light. Not to mention I just wanted to get stuck into the food!

Walking on a Dream
Relax Mark, this is not another post about my dreams!
For the past few weeks while I've been offline, I have been listening to the following songs over and over again:
Neopolitan dreams - Lisa Mitchell
You don't know me - Ben Folds feat. Regina Spektor
A&E - Goldfrapp (yes still)
Sex on fire - The Kings of Leon
Embrace - Pnau feat. Ladyhawke
But every morning and every night since I first heard this song, I have been listening to "Walking on a dream" by Empire of the Sun which sees the merge of Luke Steele from the brilliant Ausie band The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore from Pnau. I don't think I will ever tire of it. I love, love, love it.
And because I love it so much, I am even posting the lyrics.
Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again
We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
Thought I’d never see
The love you found in me
Now it’s changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime
Catch me I’m falling down
Catch me I’m falling down
Don’t stop just keep going on
I’m your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

The King's Pathway
Hi all. I have been offline again so apologies for the lack of posts. To entice you back, I thought you would enjoy this video I stumbled across. But, be warned, I actually got dizzy watching it.
Apparently the path was built in 1905 and took 4 years to construct (how and why is beyond me). It was never maintained so eventually the local Spanish Government had to close the entrances. But apparently some dare-devils still find their way onto the path.

Cauliflower Soup
I think my favourite vegetable would have to be the cauliflower. So I recently thought I would try making cauliflower soup. I searched through my recipe books for what I thought would be a good recipe, and ended up using two recipes to come up with my own version.
Butter (about 50 or 80g depending on how much you're making)
Onion
Oregano
Garlic
Cauliflower
Stock (relative to the amount of cauli you will use)
Milk (about 1 cup)
Parsley
Melt butter in heavy-based saucepan, add onion, garlic and oregano. Stir over medium heat until onion is soft.
Add cauliflower, parsley and stock and cook until cauliflower is tender. Add milk (and some cream if you like) and reduce heat and cook until just heated through.
Blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
