Help this poor American

Post by Nick Carroll » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:51 pm

His name is Warshaw and he is making a bold shearer-like attempt to engage the surfing Public.

I'm not giving him a cent ... but it doesn't mean I don't love him.

Wow, good luck Matt.

If you need any help raising money I know a few soft touches in Australia.

Kidding.
Watching with great interest.

I'll pledge him a tenner, seeing as the AUD is so high but only if he puts in Al Merricks time in the pen for drug dealing.

Happy to be thought of as a soft touch. Better than a hard carnt.
Seems like noble project, but I might just hold on to the spare pennies though, in case floods and famine get the better of Queensland this summer.
Besides I'm sure Reggisaur could get his mate at deux machine whatever, to throw in a few .000

Haven't you already received your Realsurf windfall after selling hundreds of obscure, water damaged records, cassettes, floppy disks, and 8-tracks?

Working mostly here. Well known surf spot, lived in the caravan park across the road.
It was mostly bitou bush like this when started.

Lots of weeding and some planting.
Lomandra, cotton wood, pandanus, tuckeroo, coastal wattle etc etc

Image

Warrigal spinach. Edible. Pick this in a tight week. Steam it gently to lose the oxalic acid.

Image
Pigface. Edible.

Image
PLanted this pandanus with my daughter when she was a babe in arms. Can see it from the line-up.

Old Doc Spence. One of the original surfers in Lennox. Swims in the lake evry day.Then sits there and feeds the seagulls. Deaf as a doorknob but a really nice bloke. Inspiration.

Yep - perfect substitute in a spinach and fetta pie, maybe add a bit of mozzarella to cut though any remaining bitterness

Edit: Wrong Pic - I was talking about Warrigal Greens
