Blind Surf November 11, 2009

Today we arrived at Perranporth for a second time after checking Crantock and after I put on my wetsuit, I realized I was wearing my glasses. I don’t carry a spare pair of contacts with me so I was going to surf blind… I was pretty freaked out because they waves looked big from far away but as soon as I rode the first wave I was stoked. It was a totally different feeling when you’re riding a wave but you only see vague shapes.

Long lines. Super glassy.

A cornish crow, mid flight in the Perranporth car park.

We went to Perranporth once and Joe wasn’t satisfied so we checked Crantock and that was pants so we went back to Perranporth.

I usually make pasta bakes for dinner at Ben’s, maybe because it was the first thing his mom ever made me.

Ben had a giant pasty.

A wider angle of my meal.

To test a pasty’s ready-to-eat-ness it’s best to drill a hole, extract a potato and eat it. If it’s good then the pasty is good.

Crokey It’s Thursday November 5, 2009

I had a bit of a lie in today.

I had some mixed pasta with quorn filets for brunch. It was funky good.

I made a head today out of bags and fabric and a lot of masking tape so I can make a pattern for a hoodie.

I even gave him a 3D nose.

I own a lot of blue stuff.

See?

Firsts November 5, 2009

A few happened last night and this morning.

First time I’ve printed art that I’ve done to blue tack on my wall.

First time I’ve made a full out pasta dish for a midnight snack.

First time I’m going to use my iPod Nano without the protective case it’s been in for the last 3 years. Pretty insane stuff…

Wednesday November 4, 2009

Went to Praa this morning.

It looked alright from the main lot.

Gash bag ruining a parking lot. The seshuan was pretty short. Mega chops due to hardcore winds.

A key fob was made in the Wilson garage.

I was shaping a hand plane and Ben picked up the negative and put to his face as a stache. So I was inspired to make a wooden stache.

Authority.

First time I’ve cooked Bow-Tie pasta in my life. It was awesome.

Same Old October 24, 2009

Thinking about going vegan again. Made  cheeseless pizza. Even for something where cheese seems essential I thought it was quite tasty.

Next step: Give up chocolate.

Chocolate Pasty Round Two October 22, 2009

So that I bought the chocolate pasty with the intention of making it the main ingredient for a legit pasty.

Black borders? Egads!

I had some mixed pasta for dessert.

Birds eye view of the main course.

It’s no clean task eating a chocolate pasties that have chocolate that’s still in liquid format.

Flat Pasta October 19, 2009

I bought some Tagliatelle from Tesco the other day. Finally cooked it yesterday.

It’s far better than Fettucini.

Back Yard BBQ September 16, 2009

We went to Costco and bought some Boca Burgers(vegan), weird multigrain pita like buns, and bagels. A little bbq went on in the backyard with some live music flowing out of the jam room. Quite an epic lunch it was. All that was missing was ketchup.

Mike lit the coals in the tower.

These are Boca Burgers.

Max on guitar.

Kevin on bass. They both ripped.

The coals are lit.

Give a quick shake.

How bout anotha shrimp on tha barbie?

Mike brought his bird out on the grass. Looks more like a chicken in this shot.

The hero shot.

A bit dry they were but delicious none the less.

Mike giving the bird a little rub down.

Sometimes Better The Second Time Around September 14, 2009

When I make pasta, I tend to like the microwaved left overs more than the fresh thing.

I miss Tesco.
