McArthurian foods

To reassure Marion and Steve that it will not just be a fest of gore, this is what I aim to bring:

Rabbit and red wine casserole
Small parcels filled with fish and nameless crustaceans
30 rolls, maybe more if I have time
Some shrubbery (depending on salad still left)
Beurre-though not homemade
Cream (the same, I have no cow)
I should have time to make an apple chutney
Walnut and plum tart
And booze

I have to offer walnuts:-though they are still lightly ripe, apples, some chard. Anyone have onions? J, can a borrow some eggs, as my six ladies are on strike?

Gorgeous Gatherette Agglomeration


Sorry ran out of gs.
It is about time the Gatherettes gathered to very soberly equate food and guest numbers. I am a little miffed at being a hunter's widow touts les temps. I suggest a Wednesday or Friday evening. If we desire the most lovely Kong to be present, we need to act soon-this week even. Any votes? Welcome to be mine, as long as you ignore the cobwebs.

VENI VIDI...we collected roadkill

Thanks to the mystery driver who dispatched Bambi on the Shropham road some time after 9 pm on Sunday. He's in good hands now...


Saraheophonics Salad Supplies

The Goods have the following salad supplies for Hunter Gatherettes' culinary requirements:-

Potatoes, gerkins, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Collect gerkins and cucumbers a.s.a.p. as no good to freeze.

Looking forward to the first Gatherette Gathering coming soon.

New Fake Celeb Needed - apply carefully....

Any ideas on our new fake celeb endorsor. Rachel Hunter may be out of date?

Huntin' and gatherin'

The great radish hunt


Or should that be rabbit?

Maybe the beautiful decorative gatherettes should meet and swop tales from the action-packed vegetable frontline. I do have something I could create with pototoes, and much salad, also once I have scaled the tree for nuts, I can make a nut and plum tart. Trees hold no worries for me, I bounce, although suffer a little the next day.

Monday, 6 September 2010

mmm, though not minded to panic, it is getting a little close to the denoument...


Are the bunnies in Bungay worth another shot...otherwise it could be time to go large and try go hunting in Banham zoo?


We can drop some cages before the event.


Should we consider spending the fishing money on some local vension or some such?

Plenty more Fish in the Sea...


Richard, skipper of the Blue Dawn, suggested some alternative dates. Any of these any good?

Sunday 5th Oct,Saturday 30th Oct, Saturday 6th Nov.

Winter fishing- sounds exciting.

Men lets get organised

Hello Fellow Hunters!

Firstly congrats to James following the birth of Rosie Mae Henderson!

Tonight I had a most strange visit to the pub! As walked past the pub with the dog (whilst listening to music) the landlord actually ran out and I had a blur on the edge on my vision.... the landlord (Binzy) was trying to call me into the pub.... honestly!

So, having gone into the pub. I am now in possession of a wine box filled with very dead pigeons – around 15 or so.

They need plucking etc .... and I’d like some company as they should be done asap and they of a good number.

Is anyone around to help - NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED? That might be able to spare an hour or two tomorrow eve or Friday eve to help?

(James I understand having just moved into the village you may be worried ;-) but its just preparing local produce from the local area for a good feast)

Anyways, who’s about for a severe plucking?

ALSO and importantly I was wondering if anyone can confirm date of fishing trip or trips? Is it booked and who is confirmed if booked?

http://rocklands-hunter-gatherer.blogspot.com/ for details and photos of our last two years

Thursday, 29 April 2010

Ok Septemeber is nearly here and the summer is almost over

OK so I know it's a way away - BUT although there have been some rumors of the valiant men folk going fishing - thus far bugger all has happened! Might I suggest that to catch fish we might need to be near water and preferably near water and using fishing rods (I hear this helps).

I only mention this as it may be prudent to make some initial enquires and then report said findings at suitable venue. Namely the PUB.

So who's up for a pint?

What dates and seasons need to be thought about for fishing?

Suggested locations for fishing?

Decorations, Country and Western and Oh la!

Does anyone have any nautical decorations, for the shed I have been crafting with cardboard and wrapping foil... but wondered if there might be any borrowable items - such a life jackets (hint WT) or any netting etc.

I can assure you that any borrowed items will be nailed carefully to the walls and ceiling of the barn and returned promptly...

On a further note of musical importance, does anyone have country and western albums? or Hawaii beach music stylii albums?

The men folk bang their drums

In a secret location some where in the village of Rocklands, at the back of DGs house in his secret workshop, 3 of the men folk constructed 2 drums and a self contained drum oven with (and get this) hinged door and lock fastening. Yeah, you know wha Im sayin - this is some mean feather plucker of an oven.

We are obviously very proud and so wish to bang the drum on our success!

Photos which we know will excite all who look at them are soon to follow. These show the various stages of metalwork construction.

Anyone wishing to know more about the variants and metal fatigue stresses or indeed the sheer stress on cubic close packed lattice iron below 800 degrees centigrade feel free to email me. We had great discussions over the probable variants that may happen to the drum during cooking. Obviously we know its a steel drum, but the iron ferrous changes only affect the iron within the steel drum (and not the steel).

Having heartily debated this and other equally important design considerations we cut the end out and stuck it back with a hinge and then adjourned for a well earned double pint with a 4th fellow hunter offering much praise and considered drum banging.

The oven will also appearing on its own rather risque calendar. Pre order copies are available from Feb 2010?!

Wednesday, 23 September 2009

Sorry can't make tonight of to Palma. I'll see if I can scrape some exotic creatures of the tarmac when I get there. 

Ladies...

Might your menus make it here? For the men's delectation?

Those with ovens, do remember to take things out to save burning them...

I hope that we the mighty hunter men will create ovens from sods of earth and oil drums that you may prefer to use as incinerators of what i am sure will be decadent menu items that may or may not include...

"Flaked snails served on a wet bed of wilted par-nibbled rossa leaves"
"Deep fried crispy salt and chilli rabbit fur in marrow jelly"
"Lumpy monk jack served in a rubberesque gravel pastry"
"Chickens foot, served with cheesy chilli and a selection of nail clippings"
"Pan squarked pigeon entrails with drizzled ling juice dressing"
"Seasonally adjusted mixi rabbit goujons stuffed with barley seed sausages"
"Home blighted tomato curry, with natural colourings and cat territory essence"
"Tyre print pheasant burgers with home made brown sauce"
"Wasped apple and fish head stew with chocolate gravy"

Ce soir

Who why where when what withand how.

Tonights Hunters?

Who can make it?

What? on earth shall we do this eve?
Why? Beer
Where? The Pub
When? ASAP
What? Bitter or Cider
How? Glass
With? Fellow Hunters

Oh and Houston "we have a rabbit" (TY Alex)

Steel drums and percussion

A big thank you to Dave for the supply of two steel drums.

I was going to attempt making an oven to slow roast fodder from one and then use the other as a two piece combination set brazier/steel drum. Does anyone have anything to cut steel? I also need to add a hinge so may be after some techynickle advice as blutack may (though I might be wrong) not hold under the high temperatures required for cooking...
I was hoping to create a buried oven of sorts.



I also imagine that shipwrecked damsels and hunters would perhaps while away the time waiting to light the beacon fire, with some form of music. I'd be interested to see if we can create simple instruments for our gatherer tribe fireside. Sould be a chortle (which i think makes a superb name for an instrument)...

Elderflower Surprise

I have elderflower cordial too, although I cannot promise to source the water to dilute it with from a naturally carbonated stream. Also good with gin...Saucy Sassy Skull Snapper got any?

Can I make a plea that we take lots of photos of the gathering (did anyone take any last year?) so we can sell them to coffee-table magazines and fund our self-sufficiency dream/nightmare (delete as appropriate).

Friday, 18 September 2009

Order! Silence one is speaking...

I'm also doing an onion tart, green salad and Grumpy Grey's cidre!
Mary's / Inga's email anyone?
Heather said she can get rabbits.
Children's table and chairs from playgroup shed - Sassy would you be so kind as to collect with trailer? Anymore easily transported garden tables?
Jane - no sorry, no best pitch for you!
You'll probably stay 'til Christmas, given your track record!
Andrew - upload to The Blog, please
And anyone contacted Chris - Foodie Carnivore - Evans yet?
Mrs D Gatherette xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Decorative rambles

Now my dearest darling Vixster that's one hole too many! You crazy wild woman! Could Ridgeon's please be here before noon on Sat - the crane will be arriving arriving at 12.06 hrs precisely! The erection must be up by 15.00hrs - that's when everybody's coming - N'est pas? re the bales - the wheat bales are free of charge - the barley @£1.50 / bale. Which is it to be? And my beautiful, lonely dog is eating the kitchen right now - she's called - MABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and her lead is on the table! (reminder enough?) love xxxxx

The hunters return from Whitby and look forward to productive evenings out

Great time had by all and I hope some photos will follow.

You should see the one of Clive having battled for hours and single handedly landing what can only be described as a Terrific Turbot!

Much fun was had over a stunning breakfast listening to the fellow fishermen (not us) debate old sailors favourite questions of contemplation on board a boat such as "if a man says something witty & insightful, but there is no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?" or "why are wrong numbers never engaged" - which tenuously links to congratulating Stewart and Sam on their engagement! Congrats !!! (great link there)

The catch was a superb haul! Well done all and thanks from us all to DG and SG for their organisation of said trip. Photos will follow v soon.

OK so are any happy hunter gatherers around perhaps Friday early eve... and some time on Saturday. There is much to do, so please if you are available over this weekend get in contact.

There was also some mention of collecting and processing KKs grapes?

Look forward to replies and to photos...

Thank you to Vixorange



Once again a sterling invite mustered by Vixorange.


Thank you

Steve and Ivor

Can someone email me Steve and Ivor emails please... and anyone else not listed as author on the blog ty

Hearties ahoy!

OK all, Shipwreck! (Including Pirates and or similar is set .... "ah haaa, shiver me timbers, pieces of eight" or indeed anything Nautical - is set as the theme for this years gathering ...

Obviously if anyone amputates their lower leg to create a better pirate look - then please can we have the leg marinated until the party - i tend to prefer garlic and chilli with lower leg. (Oh and please shave it before serving - it save picking ones teeth whilst eating)



Toodle pip.

26th September - get your glad rags and tents ready!

Hey all!

The 26th is approaching as fast as a speeding express train filled with cod and driven by wide eyed smacked up crayfish on well oiled tracks?!

erm anyway....

So, with time moving on it's time to get the "gatherers a gathering" please. Who can make a trip to the farm one evening next week - volunteers are required? The mission - to get pigeons and plenty of them and anything else that moves of course.

Other missions that need arranging involve ducks/geese, rabbits, fungi fodder and more...

A final pint would be a good idea to ensure we are on track with our meticulous planning and execution of aforementioned strategies.

Invites will be ready by mid week.

Can anyone also help in the early part of next week getting a very kindly donated crop of grapes. Ivor I think you may have a press? If so, might we be able to use that thus saving veruccad feet of children being used in a wheelie bin as previously planned by the committee. Thanks to Karen K for the grapes - they are grapefully accepted!

Menu - can we add what we are intending to prepare this year so some dishes make the invite?

PLEASE KEEP EYES PEELED for puffballs and the like whilst driving around.

Also please be careful - best not approach any stolen skodas with crayfish at the wheel. You never know what the outcome might be.

Những người đàn ông đã quyết định cho cá. Một lần nữa ...

With some gusto a few hunters had a meet/drinking, the main results of said drink/meeting were as follows.

  • We all agreed we were there (after some time)
  • We also agreed that some hunters were not - and that was our own fault (being hunters not superb on organisation)
  • Those not present were probably hunting anyway and filling their freezers with bounty
  • We (from now on including those not physically present) decided to stop
  • using bullet
  • points
  • just for
  • the sake of

  • it
  • We also decided to fish at sea again but try for bigger fish farther off shore (gulp)

We also spent some time debating The Times articles about Crayfish, which coincidentally this weekend (The Times that is) has a superb photo set including a golden bottom from the Bond films! (Noted for you M.McA)

Golden bottoms aside, we progressed to serious matters...

We (the Male folk of Rocklands) need to choose. between..

  • obligatory bullet points for no reason
  • fishing from Whitby (North Yorkshire - where according to Radio 5 there are Nuclear tests)
  • fishing from the South coast (DG has family living locally there to provide a bed before an early start)
  • fishing in France (again somewhere to sleep free of charge)
  • fishing on our local coast

A few dates were mentioned, any offer of a reminder of any dates mentioned would help me report back... as I can only remember a hazey end of summer time date time thingy.

That's that.... but this is the Whitby boat.. http://www.thechieftain.co.uk/ note: (I can admit to visiting Whitby A&E having fallen off a cliff and onto the beach in 1994 - thus would recommend Whitby and it's hospitals - thus should we encounter problems 120 miles off shore - I can verify superb hospital on return)

This might be last years ride http://www.norfolkseafishing.co.uk/

But this http://www.norfolkfishingtrips.co.uk/ was mentioned as a local alternative...

Though there is some info here on Fishing in Normandy http://normandy.angloinfo.com/af/222/normandy-fishing-and-angling-fresh-and-sea-water.html

Over and out for now...

Thursday, 21 May 2009

Okey dokely - time to start talking about 09

Please please can we start suggesting venues and dates. Fellow hunters we also need to think about dates for a sea fishing trip. Whens wheres whys whats whos all need some beer flowing to sensibly arrange.

I await grand responses

Houston ... we have a date

Hiya,

The date is now set for the 28th of March. So lets get a menu shall we.... or perhaps we might just share a pot noodle instead.

All suggestions welcome...

Tuesday, 25 November 2008

A blog from the past is worth two in the outback

Just a thought, with the economy enjoying its wondrous decline.... should we not reconvene sometime before mass hysteria and pillaging breaks out, with a Credit Crunch Dinner Party? Obviously a black tie  or fancy dress event. 

If anyone is up willing to think beyond Christmas I was thinking that this might be just the ticket after over indulgences. 

The menu would be a throw back to yesteryear with such classics as 
  • Corned beef hash - served with eggy bread florets - 
  • Noodle of the Pot on a bed of noodles (potted)
  • Fricassee of porridge
As for the drinks then perhaps a savvy tipple of  Thunderbird and Blue Nun to remember when £10 was worth £10 and not £1.74? 

Any one interested? Venue - Chateaux Roadblock some time in dreary January?

A feast for your eyes


Many congratulations to the oh so manly hunters of Rocklands. I think we can safely say it was a feast of medievally epic proportions, which dazzled all who came. A list of all culinary delights must be created, including the many varied drinks, desserts, sauces and ...
Now we need to get press coverage, letters must be sent, Mrs Decorative Gatherette has had this brillaint idea.
One request for next year, can we hold it on the Saturday? so that wounded heads can be nursed, without having to face the cold light of a school morning.
Oh, and finally a picture of garlic., as I neglected to photo any feast frolics, or wonderfully decorative welly-clad beauties.

Friday, 19 September 2008

Rod Licences


Just realised we probably need a fishing licence to be legal. Not that it has stopped some of the activities that have been undertaken so far..
Will investigate this mornin and report back.
It would be a great shame if the venue for the great event was switched at the last minute.

Thursday, 18 September 2008

Roadblock move over - Mrs D Gatherette is here!

Whilst the troglodytes are boozing - oops, planning the finer details of the menus - at the local inn, I thought it high time I showed my hubby that I have moved on from windows 1864 and that blogging (a new verb?) is not his sole domain. Rest assured though, my pc competency does not extend to attaching photos of dismembered body parts on polystyrene trays! or more sadly, pigeons in trainers at the starting post!

Tonight, the men folk are (alledgedly) (Roadblock did take his Filofax planner with him - last opened in 2006) at the crux of deciding how to create a fabulous table of fine fayre with all their labours of love, putting to use the various cooking pots / methods they have at their disposal. Bonne Chance!

So it's just for me to say - yippeeeeeeee! I know we are all looking forward to Sunday 3pm - it's going to be an inaurguration to be remembered!

Practical note - all bring your own plates and cutlery.

And to the decorative contingency, after flipping through a few recipe books this eve, I'm hoping to make something along the tomato flan line. Any other vege thoughts?

Wednesday, 17 September 2008

Vegetation

Not being a complete carnivorous type, I think we should take a head count, so to speak on the available vegs. I do have lots of garlic, so there will be no problems with vampires, despite the abundance of dripping corpses. I am thinking sorrel souffle, eggplant omlette...

Sadness for pigeon fans in a flap as 20 arrive today for casserole


Many heavy hearts were mourning today when news broke that 20 pigeons have been donated by a farmer for our communal pot. It would be fair to say that controversy took wing. One testimonial made through tearful eyes was from F.E. Athers who said - "Young Derek had shown such promise as a sporting pigeon in the Pigeolympics last month in China, it's a real shame. He was at the top of his sport having flown through the heats to be right up there at the top of the pecking order. "

The farmer was quoted as saying "I wont get my feathers ruffled over this one, I'm glad they serve some use"

Pictured is "Derek" sporting his number 648 in China... "Simon" and "Dave" 458 and 326 were also reported as shot, as was number 7 "Lucky" at the back of this shot.

What's a foot - simply some new items on the menu


Following a nasty accident with a trap I made from balsa wood, elastic bands and pencil sharpener blades, I take some pleasure remembering the old phrase "every cloud has a silver lining". Following this catastrophic event, I am offering the resultant bits to the menu, unless anyone is good with a needle and thread, in which case let me know...

Invite by Artemis


What a fantastic invite by Artemis (pronounced "Arty-Miss")

Tips for Sunday

Tips I found for the serious fisherman...

Below is a series of 5 videos for new start fisherfolk on fly fishing! Its great!

http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/906_fly-fishing.htm

Fellow fisherpeople - I have found some polarised sunglasses


Are these ok for fishing WT? I will be going to Argos before Sunday if anyone would like me pick them a pair of fishing shades up - let me know before hand!

Sunday, 14 September 2008

Canada goose added!


A canada goose has also decided to attend! Which is nice...

Thursday, 11 September 2008

Who designed this?


perhaps we could use this to hunt for fish?

you've got to have faith

It is all a question of belief really, isn't it? I believed it would happen...sometime, maybe not this year. I am proved soooo mistaken . All this muscle flexing, posturing in cagoules, the sweating of the eyebrows and the numerous, tragic, beers lost in a good cause.

So roll on the 21st (this year) of September, let the men folk flaunt their doughtiness, mettle, valiance and virility. I fully expect exhibitions of touching.....or at least touching emotionality.

So rally round women, let us prove our decorative worth.

Sunglasses for fishing


These might well blend in better to our surroundings?

Fishing


Just a reminder that suitable fishing attire is recomended for Sunday morning (Hats and Glasses essential). Perhaps we should have a prize for the best dressed fisherman!!

Meet Bambi or should it be Meat Bambi?

This is Bambi, or rather was Bambi. Bambi was renamed by DG. Previously Bambi was called Jack and was monk. Still we look forward to a South African styli casserole.

Who is coming to the bash then?

I know we did a list way back when.... but maybe we could add confirmed names and invites etc to a list? I've added a list - on the right hand side of this page...

Permission granted for farmland frolics on friday.

We have permission from a land owner to try and gather what we can - so it's Friday at 7.00pm

Newsflash - Flopsy arrives

Flopsy Number 1 has arrived. Well done PM. Further updates to follow as the body count rises.

Ladies! Your village needs you...

Following sober decision making last night, the men folk are requesting some help from the Ladies. Votes were taken and it was agreed that the Lady folk should add much to the event with their inclusion. Any ideas on activities are warmly welcomed or rudely laughed out. One idea was a mass blackberry picking session, as was the creation of some crumble pies. It was also suggested (not by me) that on the day the Ladies could arrange for an apple press to become available and make cider supplies for the Men folk.




Slightly mad, but i think it's Thompson Church click this to see

Found a puffball on video locally!

Pub update


Following a rather impromptu evening of consolidated support of the local economy a few decisions were made. The only problem is remembering them, perhaps?

There was agreement on activity to take place. Namely that that this Friday (subject to permission from a local land owner) there will be a rabbit hunt. I expect this will be a late event, and final details will be posted closer to Friday.

The rough plan formulated is that those able to attend on Saturday will help McA ready his garden for our soirée (French - evening party). This means getting smokers, bbq's, party tents etc set up ready for Sunday as we will be fishing from 8am. 

DG's offering of Venison was certainly impressive and I look forward to partaking. Perhaps DG might bring his bazooka fishing, just incase it's needed?

I will be chasing to get some beer from Buffy. The Hollyberry is a superb beer that will go down well.

There was some talk of creating a "Kitty" - this was in a financial sense and not finding one to cook I hasten to add. So, ideas on what we should all contribute are needed.

Stephanie has kindly offered to provide some Grumpy Grey Cider, and DG is to prepare some lethal Schnapps.

WT is gaining a smoker for the fish etc

PM is to "cam up" and go killing

And I think that's it......

please add anything that I've missed

Oh.. traps have been ordered...

Im not sure if the hunter is Duncan or Peter?

Hows about a blog

This thing is quite easy and to use, and we can use it to prove our skills of organisation.
