Last night I cooked a pickled beef silverside I did it on a BBQ outside. I calculated the cook time to be two hours and made up the usual blend of water, vinegar, pepper seeds and brown sugar. Once it was at the boil, I set the timer, reduced the flame to a simmer and sat down with a glass of wine and watched TV. I recall waking up in the chair at 10pm and staggering to bed. I had slept through the timer alarm.
Around 4am I woke with a start and remembered the meat and dashed outside to find the beef cooked to perfection and the gas blown out by wind. This morning I am eating sliced pickled beef on toast....perfect! I will hide the remainders somewhere in the fridge as my son is visiting today and he loves silverside.
Yesterday I had three pleasant young university students come to collect a Mac computer each. There was a bit of paper/scissors when the selection of computers and larger screens were lined up, but they were all most grateful. That makes my project worthwhile. These Macs were G5 towers given to me by my contact at an Australia-wide printing works. Nice machines, liquid cooled with solid aluminium cases. Almost a bit sad to see them go!
