Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Stunted Growth


I took several photographs of the stunted growth of Spruce along this windswept headland as I walked around the western end – it just amazed me with its’ density and hardiness – the constant battle along the shore of life and rock and wave

Quick Corn On The Cob



A friend of mine, Esther, gave me a great tip on doing fresh corn quickly – and cleanly – in the microwave.

Just trim stalk end enough to fit one ear into your microwave, leaving corn unhusked silk and all, and microwave for 4 ½ to 5 minutes on full power.

When you remove corn, carefully cut off the stem end and then squeeze the corn from the top – and out will pop a completely silk free cob of steaming delicious corn.

note the thin piece cut on removing the corn from the microwave oven.
