Eel Art

I was explaining to a colleague today how the Pickled Eel came about.
It has a lot to do with alcohol.
The story is here.
In an attempt to "brand" the blog a little - and stop being so darn serious about everything - I whipped up a quick sketch of an eel (with apologies to all the morays out there) and a very talented colleague (Matthew) of mine has morphed it into the button over there at the top of the column. Being a typical artistic perfectionist,
he wants to fine tune it - sort out contrast and so on. Being the impatient fellow that I am I couldn't wait to see it up on the page.

Matthew has an excellent photo and diary website - he is an excellent photographer and his shots of the Antarctic and other places around the world are worth a look.

So too his "Pie of the Day" section. Did you know, for example, that
Pies are illegal in 3 US states due to the pie massacres of 1987, an event kept quiet by Pie fanciers all around the world.

Of course you didn't, but beware his sense of humour...

I'm not surprised to hear that there's been a cover-up in the US regarding Pies massacres.

Being a pie lover myself I take a keen increase in the subject. In every state in Australia there are laws set out to make sure there is a minimum meat content and max fat content. I'm not sure of the math but there is 13% meat content in an ozzie pie. I'm also 5% sure I'm right.

Proper care should be taken to handle the pie ensure no bacterial contamination. Re-heating of pies is important also. However, at college, if you could drink a warm beer and eat a cold pies for breakfast this was regarded a badge of honour. Commonly known as the "iron guts" competition.

Just for the record, a very knowledgable work mate said to me today that you can tell if a pie is good or not if it taste good when it's cold. Try it for yourself.
