Ooh ooh ooh!!! I had one of these <gloat-mode: on> when I was in
Ireland!!! <gloat-mode: off>.

I couldn't exactly taste any Guinness in it but that was probably
drowned out by the uncooked variety that was being consumed at the same
time. Mmm.. had some good feeds there.. reminise, cue wobbly fade, fade,
credits. Nice work people, that's a wrap!

Try this to break the fast. Contains MEAT AND BEER. Perfect cyclist
food, eh?


Beef and Guinness Pie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
This is a hearty Irish variation on steak and kidney pie. This recipe
showcases one of my favorite beers that also accompanies the recipe
quite well.

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. tomato paste 3 1/2 cups beef stock 4 lbs. beef chuck, cut into
1" cubes 1 1/2 lbs. white mushrooms, cleaned and quartered 1 large
yellow onion, peeled and sliced 6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped 2
tbsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped 2 cups Guinees stout or any other
stout beer 1 1/2 cups flour Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 egg 1
lb. frozen puff pastry, thawed

1. Preheat oven to 325º. Put tomato paste into a large bowl, add stock,
and stir until paste dissolves. Add beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic,
thyme, and stout and stir well. Sprinkle flour over beef mixture,
season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir well. Transfer to a
deep 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" baking dish set on a large baking sheet. Cover
dish with foil. Bake sirring occasionally, until meat is very tender,
3 1/2 - 4 hours.

2. Beat egg and 1 tsp. water together in a small bowl and set aside.
Roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4"
thicknes, 2" wider than baking dish. Remove baking dish from oven
and uncover. Drape pastry over dish and brush with egg wash. Return
baking dish to oven and bake until pastry is puffed and deep golden
brown, about 40 minutes.

Twenty-five bucks, bloody hell I'm riding with the wealthy on Sunday. I
only carry 2 bucks (enough for an emergency chocolate hit).

Nope.
We are not issued with ID in this country.

There are conditions (limited) in which you must "identify yourself" to
a police officer.

If you really want to know, you will need to check laws in your state.

In NSW, the Redfern Legal Centre puts out a good layperson guide to the
law.

Nope. You can just wear something (necklace, wrist band, etc) with your
condition and treatment. Ambo & Casualty nurses look for these as a
matter of course.

Well, that would certainly help with cemetry space in the futere.
Portable cremation and post hole digger combined {:-). There is a Cobb
cartoon of the 70's where this combine thing rolls along the break down
lane spewing scrap metal and bodies out into the appropriate vehicle.

I think penicillin would only be administered in hospitals, so pay a
visit to your local casualty and ask them what is best method of
alerting them to this.

I think in the past, someone has suggested also writing the details on
your bicycle helmet.

Nope. Remember Constable plod can search you under some circumstances
(friendly doggies) and it is a bad offence to give false information,
which he would know if he found the ID and it didn't correspond with
what you told him. Otherwise, you might get a tour of the gaol,
fingerprinted, DNA sampled and cavity search (just cos they can) on
suspiscion that your a druggie and that is stolen property.

The point is, that ambos and hospitals don't care who you are, they just
want to know about any specials and most ID in this country doesn't help
them.

I think the chains, etc are a better idea as they are less likely to
come out of pockets or be stored in handlebar bags, etc.

We think we know why he was cool.

Think yerself lucky, they kids always hit me for an ice-cream,
sometimes a drink, and if they think I'm cashed-up hot chips too.

Guess one of these days I should unhitch the trailer, but where'd
the fun be in that.
