Down the south coast of NSW, if you must know, eating several dozen oysters a day and enjoying a bit of peace and quiet with the family. More posts soon, including a trip to Rick Stein’s joint in Mollymook. In the meantime:
- Good news! It turns out that, contrary to those killjoys on Intervention, alcohol can in fact help you solve problems. Research proves it!
- Bad news! Spain’s economy, which hasn’t been in great shape for years, is reportedly headed for a major crash. Silver lining: Could judicious application of immigration laws provide the human capital to revitalise Sydney’s moribund Spanish quarter? Prick With a Fork isn’t holding out hope, but can still dream.
- News I’m not sure I buy! If you buy your beef at Coles, you’re going to get a crummier steak … not because it’s from Coles, but because their growers don’t use HGP. Of all the reasons I need not to buy steaks from a supermarket, the lack of chemicals is pretty low down the list.
Stay tuned!

Another reason to give custom to your local butcher versus Coles is so when you ask for, say, beef marrow bones, you are not given a form to fill out and mail to HQ, much in the way one had to write a letter to your local MP to get your phone fixed in the ‘good old days’ of Telecom.
