Well here’s a few more shots from my roving correspondent. He had some lamb souvlaki from Dimitris food Wagon and said it was tasty.
This is a tram to help you get around Christchurch.
If you ever get to go there this sculpture is known as the chalice.

And here’s my favorite shot. This is the Avon river. Folks enjoy boat rides, kayaking or simply the view.
Thanks roving correspondent! Carry on!

Grill Pan – Test Tonite
Hey i just bought this pan the other day. Lovely wife is out right now getting a steak to try it out with. Will update this post later with picture of the steak, and report on what we think of this option to trying to fire up the grill when the outdoor temp is 17 deg F.
The pan after cooking duty.
OK, here’s the steak we cooked,
and my plate before enjoying the meal.
Don’t drool on your electronics.
I would recommend a grill pan added to your cooking arsenal. Not as good as an outdoor grill, but when its too nasty outdoors to grill there, a grill pan is a great option to have.
Blood and Gore
Well this is about something a little unpleasant. actually quite unpleasant. No not a horror flick, not a bad accident. The title is quite accurate however.
I went and got my teeth cleaned today.
I do brush my teeth. not enough. I know what floss is. Really strong string. You really have to trust your dental hygienist as they use finely pointed steel and pull really hard, inside your mouth.
They also did a check of my gum detachment. That’s a really fun thing too. they put a metal probe between your gum and tooth until it hits bottom and note how deep it went in. repeat for both sides of every tooth.
It feels, well, not too nice.
So today i got a new weapon in the fight against plaque. Wish me luck, in taking better care of the chompers.

Wood is Good 01
Lets talk about wood. Specifically firewood. About heating with firewood. First of all, this is a good thing. Its good for you. Great exercise, helps keep u connected to reality, (usually) saves money. Its good for the environment. When u burn wood, u r not adding to your ‘carbon footprint’ becuz when a tree grows it pulls carbon out of thin air (co2 actually) to use and convert into what it needs. A tree is really a pollution removal factory (no wonder they r called plants! Like i work at a yogurt plant u kno?) Hey sorry but remember i’m trying to entertain u remember?
So anyway heating with firewood is awesome! We will develop why, and how best to do it in some future installments.
Till later – Have a great day!
