Introducing Guinea

Posted by Keith on 4th February 2010 in Miscellaneous

Guinea is a 6-week old Abyssinian guinea pig. Hopefully, I’ll get another companion guinea pig soon, in the next week or so.

My big goldfish

I haven’t measured him, but he’s probably over a foot in length.

Litter on the street

Posted by HPG on 27th September 2008 in Miscellaneous

You see all sorts of litter on the street in my area. There are the usual things like newspapers, plastic wrappers, cigarette butts and broken beer bottles. Then there is also stuff like syringes which I’ve come across several times.

This was a new one for me this morning. I had just had a haircut on Smith St, then headed down to Victoria St to grab some lunch. Locked my bike up and was walking along when I saw this in the gutter.

Snacks!

Posted by HPG on 9th July 2008 in Miscellaneous

On the weekend, I did a bit my usual groceries down at Victoria Street. I grabbed some extra snacks in preparation for some late nights watching the Tour de France. There’s a great range of stuff to try in an Asian supermarket so you never really know what you’re going to find.

I came across the wasabi green peas and spent a good couple of minutes having look at all of the options. The last lot I bought were not too bad, but more sweet than hot. In the end, I settled on these Khao Shong wasabi-coated green peas from Thailand. They have just the right mix of up-your-nose wasabi and salty flavour. Great stuff – this large 280g can isn’t going to last more than a week. They also had wasabi-coated broad beans but these only came in the smaller can – will have to see if I can find these in the larger can. At least these peas are only 10% fat compared to 30% in your usual potato chips.

Another interesting snack I bought was some mixed dried fruit chips. I didn’t really like the taro, but everything else in the mix is quite good, especially the jackfruit.

Throw me your recommendations for other snacks to try.
