It's only 2 days before I leave for London. Soak up what heat Australia has to offer before I take in the harsh northern winters.

2014 Another start
2013. What a year, a move of blogs. A movement in style and consistency.
2014 will bring in new challenges and goals for me.
I bring you this, the last painting I produced for 2013. Dedicated to my lover and partner in crime.
2014 will bring sculptures that have been simmer a little too long in my mind.
Honey Dipped Ribs
This weekend, I decided to make honey bbq ribs. It's super simple and requires only like 30 mins prep time and 60 minutes of oven time. Please note the below recipe is so rough I just tend to add as I see fit... there are no measurements.
Ingredients:
- honey/maple syrup
- worcestershire sauce
- BBQ sauce
- olive oil
- garlic diced
- brown sugar
- rice wine/brandy
- pork ribs
Steps:
- Prepare marinade by mixing in a couple of tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce and a generous amount of bbq sauce.
- Add diced garlic, squirts of oil and a cap full of brandy or rice wine
- Mix together with pork ribs. Cover and let marinade settle for a couple of hours or throw it in the oven if you're impatient.
- Preheat oven to 180'C fan forced. Place ribs on tray and cook it for about 45-60 minutes.
- Brush left over marinade on ribs every 10-15 minutes. Flip ribs once.
- Sprinkle brown sugar on last glaze for extra crisp and sweetness
- Serve with chips/'taters etc

- Pickled Herring
- Pickled Cucumbers (Gherkins) Sliced
- Brown or Red Onion diced
- Bread Roll
Instructions: Layer ingredients into bread roll and sprinkle pepper to taste. Served cold.
Speaking of nostalgic thoughts here's a look into my new WIP... 'Harbour Street Dreams'
