Vickie Lives Life and Overeats
Richard caught squid. Richard cooked squid. We ate squid!
Not pictured: The squid tube after it was all cleaned out, which looked suspiciously like the squeezy mayonnaise bottle that we just bought and used to make the dipping sauce.
Dish rating: Ten out of tentacles!
More homegrown pumpkin soup prepared by the him! Vegetable stock this time instead of chicken the other day, and equally delish.
Perfect dinner in for this dreadfully wet and windy Sydney storm of the century.
Remember the pumpkins from 
Homegrown pumpkins! 
Pumpkin! 
Pumpkins! 
Pumpkin seeds! 
Pumpkins turning into pumpkin soup! 
The meal! Pumpkin soup, steak and spinach (Richard not responsible for the ugly pile of frozen spinachtongue )
The soup was amazing even though I wouldn’t let him put much in it (“NO POTATOES! NO SOUR CREAM! NO TOUCHING!“). He was going to throw away the seeds at first, too, but ended up making a healthful and delicious snack out of them in the oven with a bit of olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper.
10/10; would eat again (if he prepares all the pumpkins like today!) bigsmile
Dating an angler means occasionally I have to put up with his totally zonked out state from having been out fishing all previous night and/or early morning and then crashing super early, but sometimes it also means fresh fish for dinner, like tonight!
All prepared and cooked by him. Win! heart
The highlight of the dish was actually the pumpkin, roasted to perfection. I joked that the veggies were so good, the lamb skewers felt like the side to me.
More fresh-caught dewfish jewfish! Yay!
Another gorgeous day spent with Richard and his 3 other friends for some picnic and light swimming at Jibbon Beach, and then fishing from the boat at Gannons Bay and Hacking River!
I caught my first fish ever! And second! And third!
Two we could keep and one devoured on the same night!
I really can’t thank Richard enough for everything. Next time: more fish, and even more sunscreen!
